Lou Lou The Legend went on the grass on Monday.  He is starting to show improvement, as when he arrived they mentioned that he was a bit backward and immature, but he seems to have found his strength and is doing well.  I predict he will probably have his first run towards the end of September and I won’t be surprised to see him go over ground.
