Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy- Good Bye Flynny We will miss you

Well just to chime in on the weather, we are in winter here too, and yet it is 20C today (with rain) and was 22 and sunny yesterday! Yet last week it was 15 during the day with overnights or 3 and 4C so go figure. Apparently Perth is described as a "Mediterranean" climate, all I know it is get dang hot in summer!

And I know what you mean about charging dogs! I was just out for a walk with my sister (too long and fast for pensioner boys) and her dog the Aussie Shepherd was just charged by a HUGE Alsation! I love dogs, but I don't like Alsations, especially not when they are charging at me. Gave me a bit of a fright I must say, and yet thankfully it was ok. Still, nothing like a morning heart in the throat to get the blood pressure going.

Glad Flynny is going so well, even if the odd poop is not the best.

Take care and enjoy your sunday:D

Hi everyone!!

NIce to hear from you Naomi, glad things are going well... hang in there you are nearly at the holiday part oh annnnnnnnnnd Singapore!

We have had a lovely day, we went walking and visiting friends for a doggy play afternoon and we also went to the Flynn's favourite store, to get his venison and of course to visit the rats (pics of our outing in his album :D:D)

I think I might have confused you with the celcius Kathy, it never gets below freezing here! His pee will never freeze haha. Gosh we all got big charging dog stories, they are scary!! Grrrrrrr big bullies :eek:

Oh Trish, what a scary day at the beach. I am scared of undertows too, and also scared of charging big dogs. Glad everything ended up being ok. There have been couple of times that type of thing happened to Jasper and I also, not recently thankfully. I picked him up real fast too, but it wouldn't have taken much for us to have been knocked down by a jumping big dog. Easy to get off balance while holding him, plus being terrified. A few choice words flew out of my mouth for sure. :mad:

Yep, it is hot here now, it is still 81F at this hour. Not sure what that is in Celsius. Oh wait, I just converted it on my app, it is 27C. It shows you are 50F now. For us that wouldn't be too bad for winter, but sounds like it is cold for you?

How has Flynn's tummy been, still staying pretty settled? Thank you so much for checking in on me and Jasper on our thread, you are a doll. I really need to update his thread, but have so many others that I want to post on. I have been so busy for the past week or two. I have been reading along on everyone, but just haven't had much time to post. Way too much going with work, and drama with my real life family. Sometimes I just wish I could have a break from it all, as I am sure we all do!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well, maybe I will see you on here it a bit!

Hugs from me and Jasper

Ok, I see your little green light on, I must have been typing when you last posted!! :D :D

I'm here now, we must have been posting on my thread at same time :) Think I would rather have my temp now than yours, thats way hot at this time of night!! Air con would be doing overtime :) Yep this is as cold as it gets here, apart from middle of the night when it gets to just freezing and leaves a frost, so pretty lucky here too. Not as warm as the temps Naomi is getting, that sounds lovely for this time of year.

Tummy pretty good, the odd loose poop, he nearly choked on a biscuit today that gave me bit of fright but just whacked him on the back and he came right! He has been really good overall the last few weeks so we are very lucky :D yes I have been looking for updates on you guys! But it has been very busy here and hard to keep up with everyone :)

Yep, the A/C is working hard!! It is quite humid also, and I think some storms might fire up around dawn. Your seasonal weather sounds lovely Trish, makes me wonder why I live here sometimes! :)

Gosh, that is scary when they choke. Jasper and Shelby both do that from time to time, I think they eat too fast and it goes down the wrong pipe. They seem ok afterwards, so that is always a relief. So glad Flynn is feeling well. Jasper has been doing pretty well for the most part too, so we have been lucky also. So thankful. He has been drinking a bit more over the past 2-3 weeks, but now it is probably due to the heat. I am keeping an eye on it, because its not like his drinking has ever gotten back down to normal. And so of course he pees more too, the other night he got me up for 2 pit stops, which hasn't happened for a while. But I remember that night he drank quite a bit. Hope this is not going to be a trend! :rolleyes:

Gosh I hope your work and family stuff settles down, you sound like you need a holiday. Have you got any coming up?

You are right, we are lucky with our boys, I always try and remember that when I start in imagining little things are big things. Hard to keep perspective sometimes and keep the fears in check. But then we have such good days and he has such fun as per his pics in the album from today and I just appreciate he is still here with me enjoying his doggy life :D

Yes, I could sure use a holiday, which we call vacation! :D I had some time off tentatively scheduled for mid July, but now I am scheduled for 2 days of training during that week. :eek: I work for a social service agency that provides outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment. The training is related to new state regulations that are going into effect, so I really can't miss it. So will now probably take some vacation time beginning to mid August. My Mom will be planning a visit if she doesn't have any more health problems crop up.

Yes, it is so hard to keep the fears in check. I have to consciously work on that on a daily basis. I just took a look at your pics again, I hadn't seen the one with the rats. Flynn was mesmerized, just as Jasper would have been. :) He is so cute Trish. I laughed all over again at the disemboweled toys and the fluff everywhere. And I love the one where he is tuckered and crashed out amongst all the fluff. Too funny. :D :D

What a challenging job that would be Tina, I admire all who work in mental health. Still August is not too far away so time will fly as it always does :) Be lovely to have your Mom visit, I am lucky having mine so close by! I bet Jasper and Shelby will enjoy having their Nan visit for a bit of spoiling :D:D

The rat photo is hot off the press, it was just taken this afternoon :D Only one rat left now, some people obviously like them as pets :eek:

Yes, I wish my Mom was closer, especially when there are any concerns going on. Fortunately my youngest brother lives in the same city as her, otherwise I would be in a bind. How are things with your Mum and Dad? Have they both been feeling ok?

Thanks Trish, my job can be challenging, but I really do like it most of the time. I am a nurse also, I worked on an inpatient acute care psych unit for many years. At our agency I work more in an administrative capacity, reviewing the charts and medical records to make sure all the clinical documentation, etc is in compliance with state and federal regulations, and other clinical QA type of things. I admire what you do as well, working with patients is very challenging also.

Ok, here is a rat story. When I was in high school, both of my brothers talked my parents into letting them each have a rat as pets. :eek::eek::eek::eek: They stayed in a glass aquarium type of enclosure, with a lid. You know where this is going. Yes, one morning there was only one rat in the enclosure. Everyone looked high and low for days. We never found the darned thing. I couldn't sleep for weeks thinking that the critter was going to somehow show up in my bed!!!! :eek:
