He’s still a puppy full of energy and is around eight months old.  He gets along great with our big greyhounds but the cats are another issue.  His playfulness is not amusing to the cats.  He attempts to run with the big dogs in the back yard but ends up either getting in the way or falling way behind due to his size.  The Italian Greys can run 25 MPH but that doesn’t mean much when you’re racing 48+ MPH giants!
