We have walked and walked and walked, as well as tried to have him create a spot in the back yard. Today we walked all over the neighborhood and he relieved his bladder at every stop sign - so at least that's ok. He is not nervous, but came from a foster home with other Greys - so he might be missing his buddies. He was just roaching in the floor and woke himself up when he fell over, so I think he's already comfortable being here. Thanks for letting us know about Vinnie - at least this isn't unique when coming to a new home.

Our first greyhound ever arrived yeaterday to his new forever home. He has not had a bowel movement since his arrival. We assume that his last BM was yesterday morning before he was brought to us. Otherwise, he seems to be adjusting well and has made himself completely at home. As I write this, he is contently sleeping in front of the TV and has been playful all day. He does not seem to feel bad as far as we can tell. He is on the same dry food he was eating at the foster home so it shouldn't be a change in food. We realze that he has had to make a lot of adjustments in the last day, but are worried about the length of time without the bowel movement. We will be calling the vet in the morning if there is no success tonight at bedtime. Any suggestions and is this normal in a new surrounding or the brutally cold outdoor temperatures as we have had here in Illinois the last few days? Thanks Don
