Arryn (Flying Arryn): 8/31 - Great First Foster Day

Arryn is such a great dog!


She was very excited to go on a ride with us to our house from GEGR Central on Saturday. She was relaxed and calm on the ride home. Arryn already knew our small dog, Izzy. She just needed to meet our Greyhound, Daisy, and our cat, Ivy. Introductions went very well. Ivy did the usual cat hiss and paw swipe, which didn’t faze Arryn a bit. Within an hour they were both cool with each other and in the same room.


We took everyone for a walk and Arryn already has excellent leash skills.


Arryn just wants to be near you all the time and is very affectionate.






Sunday, we worked on stairs and after a few tries she is getting the hang of it. She is quickly learning to relax like Daisy and Izzy.




I think Arryn likes the retired life.
