Well, we have now had Toby just over a week and he is doing great-- barring a few potty accidents. Everyone in the family has bonded with him, and he seems pretty comfortable in our home--Comfortable enough to steal Colin's snack off the table this afternoon. Luckily everyone has a sense of humor and hopefully Colin has learned a lesson about leaving food out. Genna was trying to teach him to read-- just easy words like "a", "the", and "my". Maybe she can teach him to read "No Stealing" or "Keep your nose off the table. Thank you."Greyhounds also are pack rats. Toby likes to go "shopping" in their bedrooms, so the kids have quickly learned to keep their doors shut. So smart!
One day I walked through the living room and found the remote on the floor. A few days ago he carried Colin's stuffed animal (Super Teddy) off to his bed. Thankfully he isn't into chewing stuff up; he just wants to carry whatever appealing thing he's found away to his lair or some other comfy spot and drop it off. Still the slobber factor is enough to motivate us to keep certain thing out of reach. Maybe someday I could get really tough on the room cleaning and make the kids leave their doors open. Diabolical? Yes, I know.
