Just received this email from Lucas's Mam and Dad, and to say I am proud of him is such an understatement!
" hi Steve, we have just got Lucas back from Moorview vets,and the brilliant news is his bladder is back to normal,there is a little bit water still in his stomach, but not enough to worry about, liver and kidneys are fine and his scan has showed no problems and today he had his castration, which in a strange way it is a mile stone as after all this handsome lad has been through he's passed fit enough to have it done.He weighed in at 38kilos, and as you know from the 19kilos he started 4 days before Christmas we are over the moon and so proud of him. We are keeping our fingers crossed that his medical problems are coming to a happy end. He still does not like being left for any length of time, although he sits out the back and watches the world go by on his own for a few minutes,(brave boy) and is comfortable with us moving from room to room without wanting to be with us now. His training is really doing well,sit, stay paw(each one) down, and flat (for the vet, to look at underneath without stress)he loves learning new things. I am doing all this now without him moving forward,so I but a tea-towel on the floor and try to keep him behind it. He's feeling sorry for himself at the moment, and the look in those eyes is going to make me feel guilty for a week or so, and being a German Shepard, we are going to have 'the drama queen act' to make me even more guilty. He goes back to Moorview next Tuesday so I'll keep you informed. Loved the video, everybody looks as there all co min on fine and enjoy life. keep up the good work, and remember when the days get Little tough, think of Lucas. Thanks again Steve, from Andy Gillie and Lucas."
