I have had an email from Scottie's family which I wanted to share with you - it just makes me so happy.....

I thought you might like to hear an update on Scottie who joined our family in December 2010. Scottie has spread his wings and flown across the pond. We moved to Illinois, USA last year and he is loving it. He goes barmy in the snow and becomes a happy sloth when the sun shines. A well travelled hound, born in Ireland, lived in England and now here in the good ol US of A:)
He will be 9 this April and he still runs like a youngster and is the most perfect friend.

What a very happy ending for lovely Scottie and Pippa! xxx

Its great to here Scottie is doing so well and now he has a girlfriend.
What a happy life he is have a look at his history and see how bleak his future was at one point,
BARK IN and the RGT have done him proud finding him such a lovely home.

Scottie has got a brand new greyhound sister called Pippa :-) She went out on trial on Saturday and it was made official today. She has settled in really well and has already been off the lead!!!! (eeek!) I saw Scottie when his family came to chose Pippa and he looks fantastic :-)

Well done lad ...Happy Christmas to all Jx

Hugs and Kisses to u Scottie <'3 Love u xxxxxxx I gave u a hug today aswell xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Michelle (Barkinnkennels), After a week of antibiotics it was still there, so I stuck a needle in the lump yesterday and got loads out of it and it has disappeared now! Fingers crossed it doesn't come back!

What a lovely boy you are we miss you at Bark Inn and hope everything is ok with your lump x x x

DON'T forget to ORDER your Red Blizzrd coats from Ruth.

Standard issue for this time of year (CHRISTMAS) :-)

Well done Scottie. Hope you're feeling well enough to show off your best side today as someone from Craig's work is coming to see you! He told them how lovely greys were and how helpful Auntie Ruth and Zoe are so fingers crossed!! xx

Scottie was a brave boy and had the lump on his tail syringed. They think it is an infected cyst which antibiotics should clear up - if not he will have it surgically removed. He got excited at the fluffy dog in the waiting room but soon calmed down and decided looking out the window was far more interesting eventually!

words fail me..how callous to want to put a perfectly healthy 3 year old to sleep when there are lots of potential homes for him, some people are sick in the head. thank you to Bark Inn for taking him in and looking after him and i hope that he is going to be fine after his vet visit, he looks such a sweetheart bit like my Rossi. :-) xxx

Aww such a lovely boy, hope the trip to the vets goes well xx

Poor lad...thank goodness for the people at Bark Inn Kennels. I do hope he gets on ok at the vet's today and he can find himself a lovely new home. xx

I hope everything is ok with Scottie he is a lovely boy and Ruth if you need anything let me know and Bark Inn will help if there is any vet bills x x

I brought Scottie home with my last night as we found a lump on his tail which needs to be looked at by the vet this morning. He was really quiet overnight and this morning although he had one accident he has found himself a comfy bed, curled up and gone back to sleep! He is quite a small fella and adorable x

ps to Deb - yes he is :-(

Is this Scottie that Bark inn Kennels took in from his owner who was going to PTS Scottie if they didn't take him?

oh he is cute, i so love the black boys. :-)) xxx
