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

I knew that feeling, packing Zoe up last February.

Deep breath, shoulders back, head up.


you never walk alone.


PAWS up Flynny

There is nothing worse than having to leave them

Am here with you

Big tight hug for you xxxx

It's the hard part now, dropping him off and waiting. Glad your friends are with you. Of course Flynn is totally aware something's going on, he's a smart boy, we all know that.
We're all here, sending out a lot of positive energy which is catching a current straight to Auckland!!


^^ Flynn^^ paws up!!

He is all settled in, well as settled in as he can be in a cage! The nurses were lovely and told me to set up his bed just how he likes it and all his stuff was allowed including his toy. There is a row of two cages stacked on top of each other, he is on the top. There is a border collie underneath him and three other dogs were there, one carried in after his just completed surgery while we were there. I did not stay too long, just to get him in... he kept poking his head out the bit we had to close so we had to poke his ears in so they did not get jammed :eek: He got my secret little message and a quick goodbye before I lost it. The nurse looked after him yesterday while he was there for his scan and she said he settled really quickly and was a very good boy.

Still no definite time for surgery, she estimating early to mid afternoon depending on how long the surgeries before Flynn take, surgeon was operating and I could not speak to him but I did see Mike IMS and he answered my remaining questions. I said I need to know actual time so they will call.

Just forced myself to have some toast, as feeling bit yuck.

Thanks for all your messages, you all continue to astound me with your love and support. Marianne, that means a lot saying you would do the same thing so thank you x

Let the waiting begin xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Least he got to keep his toy, something familiar as well as his blanket

You won't be by yourself waiting we will try and keep you occupied

Your mum and dad doing ok today?

Yes, it is so hard to leave them in those cages, but at least Flynny got to keep his Blankey and toy. Small comforts from home always help us feel better.

I am glad you managed to eat a little toast Trish. As I recall, you were mama Trish, when I wasn't eating.

I will be checking in throughout the day and night until I hear how it all went. Hey, I gave up my lunch break, so this is nothing.;) We of course will all be with you during that time, but I'd love to be able sit there and wait with you in person.

PAWS UP FLYNNY BOY! We all love you and your mom! Xxxx

Good thing I brought my cell phone charger. Did they say how long the actual surgery would be?
I get to go home in 40 minutes so at least I can type easier from there. I keep sneaking in to type.

I'll probably sign off as usual but will be peeking in to check on Flynn and will keep you both in my thoughts whether online or not.

I rang them Mel after I dropped him in, they sound ok just worried for their little Flynnikin. I am keeping them posted as I hear things.

Haha yes Kathy, I was the food police... so good thing I am taking my own advice :) Least your only 3 hrs ahead of me, well and a day behind so time difference not too bad for you but Mel it is getting up to midnight where you are, probably be hearing when you wake up so you won't be missing much :)

Addy, the nurse said a few hours :eek::eek: I hope not, she quickly said but that includes clipping him, anaesthetic, recovery etc etc... I clean forgot to ask the surgeon that yesterday. So that's not much help.

Aww, big hugs Trish, I know how incredibly hard it is to leave him. Checking in from work real quick, I will probably be here for a while yet but will check again as soon as I get home. Milk with carnation instant breakfast or something similar works really well to keep your stomach settled when you can't eat. :) Yes, that is so reassuring to read that Marianne would do the same thing. Lots of love and positive energy heading South. Gentle hugs Flynny boy. xo
