Is It Ready Yet, Crazy Mommy?! A Yorkie’s Grilled Chicken Meltdown

If you’ve ever lived with a Yorkie, you know one thing for sure: these little fluffballs have BIG personalities — especially when food is involved. Meet Spikey, a tiny pup with a massive love for grilled chicken… and zero patience.

Here’s how every mealtime goes in our house. You’ll want to sit down for this — preferably not in Spikey’s spot at the table. 😉

🐾 The Drama Begins

It all starts with the sizzle. As soon as that grilled chicken hits the pan, Spikey is ON IT. He trots into the kitchen like a little inspector with one mission: Locate. The. Chicken.

Then comes the stare. You know the one — wide eyes, ears perked, tongue poking out like it’s already halfway to the plate. Meanwhile, his tummy starts growling like a tiny lawnmower.

And the cheeseburger on the other side of the stove? He doesn’t even look at it.

“That’s for you, Mommy,” his expression says.
“But the grilled chicken? That’s ALL MINE.”

🍗 Why Dogs Love Grilled Chicken (And Why It’s OK!)

Dogs, especially Yorkies, love grilled chicken because it’s:

High in protein
Easy to chew for small mouths
Smells amazing
Tastes even better

As long as it’s plain and unseasoned (no garlic, onion, salt, or butter), grilled chicken is actually a great treat or protein topper for dogs.

✅ Vet-approved tip: Cut it into small, manageable pieces to prevent choking and keep portions balanced.

😂 The Waiting Game (a.k.a. the Meltdown)

If Spikey could talk, this would be his inner monologue:

“Is it ready yet, Crazy Mommy?!
This pup is HUNGRY 🤤 and my floofy tummy is rumblin’!
I can smell that juicy grilled chicken already…
You can have the cheeseburger 🍔, but the chicken? Oh no. That’s mine. 😋
Now hurry up before I drool a puddle on your clean floor!”

And yes — there’s always a puddle. 💦

🧼 Managing the Mealtime Madness

Here’s how to make mealtime smoother (and avoid dramatic floor flops):

Feed your Yorkie before cooking — so they’re not starving as you prep.
Create a “waiting spot” in the kitchen with a mat and treat puzzle.
Use small bites of grilled chicken as positive reinforcement during training!

Bonus: Add some chicken to their food bowl for a healthy boost. 🐶🍽️

💬 Final Thoughts: Small Dog, Big Appetite

Spikey may be small, but when chicken’s on the menu, he becomes a full-blown food critic. Whether it’s his dramatic stares or exaggerated sighs, one thing’s clear: this pup takes his poultry very seriously.

So next time you’re cooking dinner and feel little eyes on your back… just know, it’s not a ghost.
It’s your Yorkie.
And he’s wondering, “Is it ready yet, Crazy Mommy?!”
