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

He thought it might be an adenoma, but they have the potential to get nasty so we will have to wait and see. Hopefully he was right!!

He hadn't really lost any weight but it could have, he looks skinnier now. I will weigh him if I have to take him in tomorrow to get the suture sorted.

My bed is calling me Mel, so I better head off. Just took him outside for his last pee.. he is sore still you can see it hurts when he tries to cock his leg. But then he trotted off over to the gate to check the next door cat had not been through.. they are so tough aren't they. Might see you in the morning.. happy shopping!! xx

Either way the size of a fist it had to come out so you made the right call

Yes they are very tough. Sweet dreams to you both.

I will be about later to see how you both are xxxx

I am so happy to be back settled in myself this morning so as to catch up on the latest chapter of "The Adventures of Flynn!" I just noticed we've started page 200 of Flynny's thread :eek: :p :)

If ever there was a little boy who deserved his own book, it's our Flynn!!!! ;)

I'm so pleased he's doing so well, and I hope you all have a lovely week together just to relax and unwind. Well-deserved R&R, I should say!

Welcome home Trish and Flynn, I know you both had a solid night sleep and Trish please give that boy and extra hugs and kisses from Auntie Addy:D:D:D:D:D:D

All this sounds so wonderful, Trish! :cool::cool::cool: I know being home in familiar surroundings is going to do you both a world of good. The image of your folks seeing Flynn for the first time after his surgery is precious - what love they have for him. And Flynn getting his favorite toy out right away - how cute! :) He'll be begging for a romp on the beach in no time!

Well and here we are in the morning in Canada and Flynn-Man is having a wonderful time reclaiming his home territory I'd say. Checking the cat gate, trying to give what for to the dog walking by. Yea, poor little guy, he might need to save up his talking for a bit, sounds like the throat is a bit raspy. hmm, of course, the girl dogs might think the raspy voice is a bit sexy. Not sure how that really plays out in the dog world. Humans seem to like it though, so who knows. Course dogs seem to think a good sniff of the butt is a good thing to, so their judgement might be a bit warped.

Gosh sorry, I do sort of wander down some strange pathway of thoughts when I get started typing. ROFL!!

A lazy weekend sounds divine after what you two have been through. Adventures galore!!

I was channel flipping the other night/day and saw The Blacks were playing, so flipped over real quick and drat I don't get that channel. I thought for sure I was going to finally catch one. One day I will. I love how ferocious they are when they enter the field and do their "I'm going to kick your &^%$ thing".

Okay, I really am procrastinating.
Hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Good morning and thanks for your posts Mel, Marianne, Addy, Sharlene and Leslie so nice to wake up to :D:D

Wow I cannot believe I have just slept 10 hrs straight :D So did Flynn, or if he didn't I did not hear him in the night. I woke in a panic thinking OMG his wound@! But it is looking beautifully clean and he has not bothered that suture anymore, phew!! He is going to have a day of rest today and not go into the vets, I have rung and Local Mike is going to check things out tomorrow morning. The nurse I spoke to wanted to hear all about it, Mike had shared the pics I had sent of him with his drains etc she said she has missed their Flynn :D

IMS Mark rang from Auckland this morning to check his progress. They have not received any histology results yet. He said they will email them when they arrive, plus he will call so we can work out our plan for Flynn going forward.

I have given him more temgesic as he does still look a bit sore, and he just ate all his brekky and is back in his bed. At our friends he was resting but not really sleeping as he was always on the alert when people were moving about so it is good he is home and he can truly rest and catch up on his sleep.

All I need to do today is groceries, pop into town for a quick errand and go to the pet store for his food. So that should only take an hour or so and I will take Flynny to Mum and Dads while I do that. I might just take him to the beach so he can smell the sea air and have a little potter, not walk him of course but I want him to know that things are getting back to normal :D

Marianne - it is a book isn't it... wow the 2000th post will happen today!! Incredible, he is the little dog that keeps on going.. Go Flynn!!

Sharlene - Yes, I think Flynny must sound like a doggie Sean Connery to the lady dogs right about now :D:D The All Blacks are a sight to behold during a haka, it always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck! For anyone interested here is the clip of it from last weeks game in London against Mel's team England!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbF4NG9_x7w
We play Ireland tonight, it is the last game of the season. I will be able to get up and watch now I don't have to worry about work tomorrow, rugby is our national sport and a NZ passion and if we win tonight we will have an unbeaten season which is the first time ever. OK enough about sport :D:D

Addy - consider him kissed and he is sending big slurps back to you, Zoe and Koko! x

Leslie - he is almost as much Mum and Dad's dog as mine, as he spends so much time there when I am working. It really was precious when they saw him... Elle the demon cat meanwhile gave him a sniff then danced around in front of him so she seemed pleased to see him too, least she did not try swipe him!

Hmmm think that is a another page for the book, sorry everyone... I never seem to be able to write in 10 words but I can do in 100 :p

xxxxxx

Evening :D

10 hours straight, you both must have needed that :). Glad he hasn't got at at his wound again, good boy, that bit must have been driving him nuts!!

Is so good that new mike has already called to check in, at least you are getting your money's worth and it does actually seem like they care!

I think it would be really nice for you both to go get some air at the beach, I do think the water is so good for your soul, he will probably want to wander though knowing your boy :eek:

Is the rugby on tomorrow afternoon our time? Stupid o'clock yours?

It is on at 3am I think, :eek::eek: maybe I should tape it and watch in the morning, will see how I feel when the alarm goes off :eek:

Yes we are lucky with the support we have from all of them, local and specialists, I wish everyone here could have that. I have spent some time this morning making a list of what I would like to discuss with them when they call for followup/results chat, I might email it to them so they can be prepared in advance :D:D

I am starving and there is nothing decent to eat here so I am off out soon, hopefully see you later tonight, have a good sleep Mel and hope your day has gone well and all your online shopping is done!! x

I am so glad that you both had a long restful sleep. As for Flynny, if he was able to the rest that long he must be feeling pretty well. :p I am so glad it's all working out because selfishly I wasn't ready to lose our boy either. ;) when we all come to visit, Flynny a big part of that package. We need him to guide us to the best parts on the beach. :D
Big hugs my dear. xxxxxx
