Big Bucks settling in

I took Big Bucks home with me on 2/23/11. After a restless first night, which was to be expected, he started to feel more at home. Buck sleeps in a expen (corral) in our room and is now quiet through the night. During the day, when we are at work, he is very comfortable in his crate with a stuffed Kong that he enjoys. He is doing well with our three other greyhounds and Tuesday he will get to meet three of my sons dogs. Buck is a little leary of new people and new sounds, but soon gets comfortable with them. He takes a treat very gently and is learning how to wait for his meals and to sit for a cookie. This is a work in progress. I always say that the beginning of a racing greyhound becoming a pet is when they can relax outside of their crate on a nice soft bed. I have found that this usually happens on the average of 3-4 days. Buck found his soft bed, outside of his crate yesterday afternoon 2/6/11 right on schedule. He now prefers to spend time with us instead of his crate. Do you have a soft bed for Buck. He will melt your heart.
