On the eating, just watch her after she eats. If she starts hiccuping after meals, then she's probably eating air along with the food and that can be a problem.

My Bat-dog is a food thief and inhales her meals - she is definitely not starving, but the desire for any and all food is extreme. At first, I thought it would make for an easy training tool, but she also tends to get possessive with food in her vicinity so it can create problems with her brother. I have caught him, Moose-dog, knocking food off the counter (she can't reach it) and then just letting her eat it (it was chocolate the first time - and he never even tried to eat any himself)... I suspect he's actually trying to kill her as she is a little snot.
