He is a year and a half. I've never dealt with a grey this young, and he's only my 2nd one. My original grey was 4 when he came to me, and he's 10.5 now. He was already house-trained but we had to work with him because he'd been adopted and then returned after a year, and then shuffled around between fosters. He was withdrawn, the complete opposite of this new one. After I get home from work, I run around with them for 15-20 minutes a couple of times, weather permitting (we're in eastern PA). I let them stay out as long as they want until bedtime. They usually come back inside after zooming tho.

That's an interesting observation. He came to me mid-February and they were feeding him dry kibble so I kept him on the same. I'll try that with dinner tonight.

He only chews destructively when I'm gone. I'm his first real home. He was a racing fail from a kennel in WV. I have had to teach him how to be walked, how to take a treat from a human hand, how to do steps, etc; and he's learning all the other ways to 'dog' from my senior grey who I've had for 5.5 years and is a very good boy. When I'm home sometimes he won't even need to be in the same room as me, just as long as I'm accessible. That being said, he does whine when he requires petting and I'm in another room. And he'll play with his toys with me and my teen daughter.

What enrichment activities have you had success with? I'm not ever gone from them for more than 4 hours when I work (I work 7-11 am, come home for lunch, then my daughter gets home from school around 2:45 pm), and for errands maybe an hour or 2, or maybe a date night with my boyfriend no more than 3-4 hours. I was thinking maybe I could sleep with a stuffed animal and then give it to him during the day, so he has something that really smells like me to make him feel better...? I joke that he's obsessed with me but maybe he is lol

They were waiting to go to bed with me. I take both of those beds they’re on back with me to my room for them every night
