OK on all everyone and thanks for the input. We are learning how to have a greyhound - some good moves and some bad moves. All n all we are very happy with our new toddler's progress, and think that it will be OK. Just a few rough patches here and there.

OK on all and thanks everyone. We have been feeding him the Costco dry dog food - Natures Domain - salmon meal and sweet potato. Several of the adopters use it, and they say it is good. He is settling down little by little, and we understand that he is a very young dog. He raced in 28 races, won 2, and placed 2nd seven times. Yes we have given him treats from the counter and we will stop that now - still learning. He doesn't put his paws on the counters, just runs his nose back and forth on the front edge. Another question, do they get bored? We take him out for walks a couple of times per day for about 15 minutes each walk. But past that he is on his bed, not necessarily sleeping, but just hanging out. Of course he still follows us from room to room, but he is gradually slowing down on this, as he sees there probably isn't nothing interesting going on there. He walks wonderfully on the leash staying right by my side. All n all, we love him!!

We recently adopted a 2 year, 3 month old retired racer and we love him. He is so sweet and calm EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD! We have had him for 2 weeks and he is settling in nicely. We feed him 2 cups of dry food around 6:30 in the morning, about 1/2 cup or so around noon, and 2 cups around 5:00 to 5:30 pm. There are a few snacks here and there also during the day. However you would think he was starving to death. If we just move towards the kitchen, he is up off of his bed in the living room and into the kitchen with his nose cruising the top of the counters. He goes in the kitchen at least once every 10 minutes to see if some food has magically appeared, and is just exactly at the right place for his taking. He is at the right weight now, based on all we have read and researched. Will he eventually settle out of this and maybe not be searching all the time for something to eat? I am sure this has been brought up before on the forums, but thought I would post it anyway. Thanks
