VJ May Fly (Ashley): 6/19 - Settling In

Hi everyone! I'm Ashley's foster mom!  I can't say enough wonderful things about this sweet girl. She's the total package and more. An A+ student in the study of retirement, and a beautiful pup to boot!

She has a gentle and quiet nature, but is rapidly discovering the fun of tossing fluffy toys through the air. She is a more submissive dog, so adhering to the tips for training greyhounds with sensitivity and a gentle hand definitely applies with this little lady. She's eager to please and is really enjoying the comforts of a cushy bed to snooze on.

She is currently the only pet in our home, and does not seem stressed by that in the slightest. She has also been wonderfully sweet to our 2 and 5 year old daughters. She's doing well practicing going up and down stairs on a leash, but still prefers to go hang out in her crate or bed on the main level most of the time. I'm excited to watch her continue to bloom this week and share any further updates.

If you want an excellent ambassador for her breed, look no further than Ashley. She's ready to make someone a wonderful companion!
