We had to take Lucas back to PAWS today. : ( While he fit in fine with Boss, was sweet, adorable, lovable, etc., he really struggled with the stairs up to/ down from our apartment. We live on the second floor of our building and with Lucas' hip arthritis, he would have to stop several times on the stairs, and even stumbled down the stairs a couple times when we would go to take him outside. We tried using a towel under his hips to help him up the stairs which seemed to help, but we couldn't keep him from practically falling down the stairs when we would go out. We decided that although we totally love him (and because we love him), Lucas deserves to live somewhere that is comfortable and safe for him. His hip arthritis will only get worse, making the stairs more and more difficult, so although we adore him, we want what is best for him first and foremost.
Super bummer, but I know that Lucas will find a wonderful home with someone who can keep him comfortable! My husband, knowing I am a huge soft touch with animals (and everything really), bought me a sundae from Dairy Queen to cheer me up, so that helped a bit. haha
