Scotch is loving life with his new family......

Scotch has been with us since 9/20/08. He does enjoy his squeaky Kong, especially in the middle of the night. For some strange reason, it mysteriously disappears only to reappear the next day. He loves his yellow tennis ball, but I have to watch him carefully when tossing it to him-nothing is sacred when it comes to retrieving a ball.

He loves to snuggle, and is such a sweet boy. We took him into a pet store with his muzzle on, and a little boy told his mom, "look at the football dog, Mom!" I may have to get a jersey for him, put on his muzzle, and let him help me distribute candy on Halloween.

We have an outside calico cat (who has the same colors as Scotch), but they don't run in the same circles. The cat stays in the garage when Scotch is outside.

Scotch can gauge distances well. The first day he saw Spooky, the cat, he figured the shortest distance to get to her was going through the pool, so in he dove. What a smart dog! Only I had to point the steps out to him so he could swim on over and climb out. Then he had to stand there and let me hose him down getting the chlorine out and then drying him off with towels.

You can say I have "rescued" this Greyhound twice in one week.

Anyway, he's a good and sweet natured dog, eats well, walks on the leash well, and is just precious.

He sends his best to everyone!
