Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hi Trish,
9 months since surgery for Flynn! He really came through with flying colors didn't he? It's great how it worked out so well!
What a great location to be so close to the beach, I can tell from your photos that it's just beautiful where you are.
Trixie is like Flynn and does not like the water either.
In the area where we walk in Central Park there is what's known as the Turtle Pond. (it is loaded with turtles). In the summer they "plant" a natural water cover on it because the sun and heat will produce too much algae and kill the turtles. So they plant/place water plants which cover the pond and keep the sunlight out. It's actually little green leaves which float/live on the surface, not slimy at all just the tiniest little leaves...from afar it almost looks like a lawn...you can barely see any of the water.
Well, Trixie did think it was something she could walk on because last year she trotted right in!! She looked at us in shock and all of a sudden began to swim...her first time ever submerged in water!! We could not believe it, I'm sure she thought she was on solid ground! She got out as fast as she went in and was definitely a bit scared while she was shaking out...all soaked and the tiny green leaves on her back. Luckily it was a super hot day so it probably felt good, but she stays so far away from that pond now. Too funny!
It's all cooled off here thank goodness! Hope your rainy grey day clears off for Sunday and that you have a nice day!! Glad Flynn has good poops, time for the itch to go away!! :)

Poor Flynny boy, still has the itchies. Rosie has them too. I seem to attract little allergic pups.:o
WOW! 9 months post surgery. It is all due to your care Trish and an amazing dog. Flynny keeps going and going and going. Just like the Energizer Bunny.:D Yes! A blow out party at his 1 year anniversary is definitely a must! I hope we are all invited! ;):D
Give Flynny a nice massage for me and hugs for you. Xxxxx

9 months!! Time flies & yay Flynn.
Pearl is extremely itchy right now. The vet just started having me give her Zyrtec. I hope it does the trick for her.
Hope all the itches go away for mr Flynn. I know it makes them so miserable.

Hi all
We are still about, just not on here much as work has been full on and lately nights are spent with Dad as Mum is away for another trip then when I do get home I spend the time recovering on the couch!!
But we are good, Flynn is doing well. He still has a bit of the itch but I hope I am getting on top of it. It is a combination flea + environmental allergy of some sort, I showered him again yesterday and another frontline. I have been doing him regularly every 4 weeks as recommended, I think maybe the fleas have developed some resistance to the frontline as I saw one wash off him in the shower yesterday. I don't think the Loratidine helped much at all. Occasional mucousy poops only so I will not repeat UPC yet until that settles down. His vet is back in town later this week so I will catch up with him. But on the whole Flynny is very happy it is Spring!
We have just been up the beach for a walk, boy the weather is turning fast... positively hot today!! Well mid 70s, so not boiling but it is definitely warming up here. YAY!
Will try and pop in more often xx

Hi Trish,
Busy and tired, sounds about like our house these days. Long hours at work and all I want to do is fall asleep at the end. Molly is definitely doing some acting out (like that isn't her speciality anyway) due to less play time this past week.
Those dratted fleas can be a real bugger to get rid of for good once they get a foot in the door so to speak.
So mum is off on another trip. :) My MIL is always off and about somewhere. She is just back from Budapest and planning on joining us here in October for a couple weeks. She's in her 80's. :) :) I want to be able to travel like that when I'm in my 80's too!!
Glad that Flynn is doing well, have to get those mucus poops over and done with though. I'm of the same mind, not a lot of point in doing some tests when things still need to be cleared up, I think it just throws the results off and not be trusted over all.
Hope you have a good week!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
