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

Hope you feel better soon xx

Hi Trish,
So glad that Flynn is better. :DThat can be so scary! :eek:
I hope you're feeling better soon. The mommies just aren't allowed to get sick or stay sick! ;) Take care of yourself and rest, if that's possible.

Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

Thanks Kathy, a quiet day in is what is called for!! I hope Buddy is still behaving himself. I must say your signature is just lovely :)

Hi Trish
Was just reading your post to me earlier this morning and was catching up on Flynny just now.Glad he had no furthur blood in his poop.I remember Kelsey used to occasionally get a smear of blood and it was always after she ate something very rich that she wasn't supposed to!And it would only be once and clear up on its own.Hopefully it is nothing serious and it's good sign that you're not seeing any furthur blood.Sorry that you're sick as well!Don't ya wish the little buggers could go make us a cup of tea for a change?:).

I was laughing at the "jobs"that Flynny loves to do-Fella was the same.And thats the problem with Gracie right now-she doesn't want the job!She's quite the lazy girl-she wants no job at all except to be silly and play,that's it!Fella,like Flynny,loved stepping up to the plate when Kelsey passed.He watched the house,watched over me and was ready to kick butt at a moment's notice!:D.And while this was going on,Gracie was playing with Buster,playing with her toys,etc..oblivious to what was going on.She loved that all that responsiblity was on Fella's shoulders.And now,I swear,she feels this huge responsiblity to have to be the "big girl" now and she is not happy!:).Sometimes I wish I would just find another baby,like we found Fella and Flynny.I think she would love another one so that she could say"oh,thank you God,I can now go back to playing and being me":).

Well,I hope you feel better-plenty of tea and rest and no work!!Hugs to you and Flynny.
Patty

Hi Patty

Poor Gracie just has to adjust, I bet even if you find a new doggie she will want to be at top of the pecking order! She will come right as will you, with lots of love and support! Give her a treat from me and Flynn :) xx

Glad Flynn is doing better, hope you feel better soon too.
goodness, but you guys do keep things interesting!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Good morning

How are you today feeling any better?

Hope Flynn's tummy has settled down too

Ok...what the heck is this about blood in Flynn's stool?? And, you sick?? Neither of these scenarios are acceptable!

Is Flynn having an ultrasound next week? I sure hope the blood was nothing serious.

I hope you get to feeling better.

Hugs...

Hi all

Thanks for checking in on us Sharlene, Mel and Ro :):), both our tummies are good today thank you :D:):D:) So I was back to work :( but it's Friday so the weekend is here :D:):D:) YAY!!

Flynn has had good poops last couple of days, definitely no more blood seen. I think the Metamucil is really helping. Vet has emailed today and no parasite eggs seen (Strongylate, Ascarid, Trichuris, Coccidia or Capillaria... never heard of any of them!), but full results not back yet incl. giardia and campylobacter. So we will maybe get the rest of those results on the weekend.

Hi Ro... always so nice to see you popping in! Yep, we are off to pet hospital for his 6 month postop checkup scan and appointment with IMS next Wednesday. I have taken the day off and a friend is coming for the road trip with me and Flynn. I cannot believe it is nearly 6 months already. Gosh what a ride it has been! He has been through so much but keeps bouncing back and is enjoying his doggy life which makes the trauma all worthwhile!! Now if only we can get his tummy issues settled I will be happy!

xxxxx

Hi Trish,
Just popping in real quick to check on you and Flynn. So glad you both are feeling better and that Flynn's tummy is settling. That is so scary to see any bit of blood, glad that has stopped. Happy weekend to you! I just have to make it through today, Yay!

Hugs from me and Jasper

Happy Friday, though it is probably Friday night for you.

I hope all continues to improve with no more tummy troubles from you or Flynn. Tonight should be relaxing, a nice dinner, relaxing time.

Hope everything goes well with Flynn's scan. I know it can be nerve racking anticipation. Time for Golden Oldies on Pandora.:D:D Soothes my nerves every time and the pups love the music;);)

hugs to you and Flynn

Yay for happy tummys :)

Sharlene and Molly muffin

Hi Trish,:)
I am glad to hear that you are both better and you been back to work just in time for the weekend! YAY:D I stayed home today with Buddy. There is just too much going on. Remember to take care of yourself. I know how hard that is sometimes!;)

Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

Hi Trish!
Just catching up with you and Flynny.Glad to hear you are feeling better and no more bloody poops for Flynny!!That is great news!We all have our paws crossed for you and Flynny on Wednesday.Glad someone is taking the ride with you.I'm sure it will be great news but I know you can't help but worry.I hope you have a great weekend and glad to hear you are both feeling betterr.

Thanks for your post about Fella.Difficult and so ironic that the reason why I had the surgery in the first place was so that he would live and not die from a blood clot or cancer and he dies from the surgery!That really gets me!

Well,it's already Sat afternoon where you are so hoping you and Flynny are enjoying your weekend and that he is happily catching mice!:eek:.

Evening

Hope you are both having a good day, what you been upto anything exciting? it's stupid o'clock here and am wide awake. Not good!

I am pleased you are not going on your own for the scan as that gives you less time to stew on your thoughts. I have told the universe that we expect a good scan for him, he has been through enough as has his momma.

speak to you soon, big hug, bum scratches to the boy!

Hi Tina :), Addy :), Sharlene :), Kathy :), Patty :) and Mel :)

Well it is Sunday night already, well only 5.30 but it is nearly dark :mad::mad: I still have to clean the car, oh well I guess that will have to wait now :D

We have had a good weekend here, pretty busy too!

Flynn had one loose poop on Friday night, no blood. Yesterday he was a little poorly and I was waiting for the diarrhea but none occurred. Today formed but greenish :eek::eek: maybe from grass but usually when he eats grass you can actually see it on the way out again so to speak (sorry if you are reading this and having a snack right now!) this afternoon on beach walk softish but normal colour. Perky as anything today. So all in all, not too bad. He is curled up on couch now, had visitors this afternoon so he is pooped with all that and walking and ball chasing, having a romp with a schnauzer and snaffling some dodgy manky looking piece of some animal vertebrae up the beach and sprinting away from me so I would not take it off him :eek::eek: Little shite! Vet has emailed and said no salmonella in his sample from last week, still a couple of results to come in.

Thanks for speaking to the universe for us Mel, I fully expect it to listen and the scan will be normal :D:D I believe in your special powers :D:D. Hope all your weekends are going well too! xxxxxx

YIPPEEEE!!! Sounds like things are going well and I like to see all of the smiley faces in your postings :)

Sending hugs and prayers for you and Flynn, glad the poos are improving....simple joys :)

Evening

Hmm greenish poo...

The only time I have ever seen Boyce have green poo was once when he ate something off the beach! I wonder if Flynn is munching some of the things that wash up which is what is affecting his stomach

I can just imagine you chasing after him, they can be quick little buggers when they want!

Up early again, gonna take Boyce out in a bit...

Big hug

Mel

Hi Valerie :), Letti :), Mel :)

I know Letti, don't the simple things in life take on so much more importance. I cannot imagine anyone celebrating a normal poop as much as we do in here!!

He does much things up the beach Mel, not often though as I usually try stop him. Nothing yesterday as he was a little slow on it and stayed pretty close to me and did not go right down to the beach bit. But today he found a fish head, did not eat it, but he did pick up that back bone thing. It was long since dead. We have rivers around here and we often see a dead animal from one of the farms up the river having washed down, lambs etc. :eek::eek:

Have a nice walk with Boyce, you will be having beach walks soon too :D

xx

What about the day before? As I think it takes a while for the nasties to work through.

Boyce spends the whole time with his nose on the floor. He did give himself green cow pat poo that one time so he is slightly more cautious now but he loves to eat seaweed. Tia would kinda try but then scamp off. Going to be so strange without her.

Boyce has gone back to bed, clearly it is to early for him :D

Hmmm day before would have been Friday so Dad would have walked him up there while I was working. Possible though! He is quick, the sneaky little bugger. He gets this look in his eyes, like he is estimating how fast I can get to him and what he can get away with and gobble before I get there. But he really does not get stuff very often.

He does not know it, but he is in for a shower and blow wave soon. At least with him and his short hair I can do it myself and do not have to worry about groomers and clipping. I wash all his bedding and blankets each weekend and I want him nice and clean for his IMS appt this week. Awww I just realised he will be shorn again and now it is cold too. Poor boy!

Time for the jacket:)
Daisy is quick too and often, the only way that I can tell that she's about to munch on something bad is that she sniffs at it just a little too long. Anyone else would not recognize the difference.

Ha, lucky we get those little clues Valerie! Especially when they are so low to the ground like our dogs, he runs and sniffs and is on the hunt all the time. He is a little like Budster, he likes lizards too and runs along the line of the grass and beach where they hang out. He goes round and round my house sniffing out that new cat in the neighbourhood too! I bet he would have made a good drugs dog judging by his constant sniffing

Maybe you should make a game out of his sniffing like hide and seek with one of his toys. Boyce is useless at finding his, he just goes round in circles

Ha, do you think it strange I actually play real hide and seek with him, not here because my house is too small. But at Mum and Dad's sometimes I make him sit and stay in the lounge then go hide and he is very diligent at searching me out! Cracks Mum and Dad up as they cannot distract him while he is hunting room by room for me. Oh I live a sorry life haha

I play hide and seek with Daisy. She has a BLAST, but it has to be with the "right" toy and in true female fashion, that changes all of the time.

She plays with me before I get to play with her!

Hey Trish!
Thought I would join in with the late night crew here. Gosh, we are having severe storms. Got Jasper out for his pit stop in the nick of time before the downpour. The thunder is so strong I can feel my insides vibrating. Sheesh, no wonder they are terrified. Jasper is on me like glue, and Shelby jumps down off the couch and tears around at high speed after each thunder crack. Looks like it will be a long night here.

Jasper is also very sneaky with eating things he shouldn't, and he will gobble something down real fast before I can get to him too. Naughty naughty. We are not near a beach but he manages to find plenty of nasty critters. I am terrified of bugs, so darn near have a panic attack if I have to remove something from his mouth. I sure hope Flynn's poops settle down. It sounds like he is doing well otherwise, yay!! :D

Hugs from me and Jasper

Tina, WHY do they find the nastiest things the best tasting?
Daisy eats bugs and the poop from other critters is like edible gold.
ICK!

Oh my, I was just speaking of you over on Patty's thread and here you are!!! Spoooky! :D

Well it is very weird, a big downpour of rain just hit us too, it was so loud and slamming into the house that Flynn leapt up barking! No thunder though.

Honestly, if Flynn had a bug in his mouth he could just eat it as I hate them too and I am not putting my fingers in there to get it out! :D Plus there was a news item on the other night about how healthy most bugs are and we should eat them ourselves. Really??? I think not!!!!!!!!!!

How is Shelby after the op? I keep forgetting about that other place for threads and don't pop in their too often, I must go check cos I bet you have already posted about it.

Valerie, I wonder why we let them kiss us with all the disgusting things they have in their mouths!

I have no idea. A vet once told me that cat poop especially is dog crack!
100% correct with Daisy and it's a pain because too many people let their cats roam free. Very sad really since most of them are so friendly and deserve better in my opinion.

One night during the winter, I heard one very unhappy cat crying and I tried to find it to bring it inside. I couldn't find it and I worried until falling asleep that night.

All cats roam free here in NZ, there was quite a controversy recently when it was suggested they be locked up, feral ones do eat a lot of our birdlife. As we are on islands we have a lot of native birds including our national bird the Kiwi and cats do do a lot of damage with them.

But the positives of living on an island like ours is that we have no snakes and only one barely poisonous spider.

Flynn has never been partial to cat poo, thank god! He likes horse poop though but luckily we only come across that if someone has been exercising their horse up the beach. I am imagining Daisy running about with drugged out eyes acting crazy!

Back....

He is now out on his blanket in the hall (right by the kitchen) awaiting his breakfast. It's still a bit early but he doesn't care seriously unimpressed with me. This new food has made him keener. Think its slow cooked lamb for breakfast, smells good enough that I could eat it!

Boyce is partial to horse poop. Tia liked foxes of course the one that could cause her trouble. Little monkey.

Yay your back, we have had to leave Patty's she went to sleep on us :D:D I got no chocolate or anything like that, apples and mandarins for dessert here!

Yes their food does smell tasty sometimes, honestly I better feed this one he is giving me the I am starving look!

Daisy would eat it until she popped if I didn't scream bloody murder. It's almost 3:30 here, so I'm going to try to get some sleep.

See you tomorrow night :)

I'll be here! Nighty nite Valerie!

Night Val

His food is pricey but I can already see its making a difference for him and I feel like we owe it to princess to keep him as healthy as we can for as long as we can

Fruit for dessert. I thought you said the tea was the only healthy thing you ate! I tend to have my fruit in smoothies. Love veg and salad though, I grew up growing our own, I even like Brussels :D

Well,seems like the topic of the night is eating gross things so I'll share too!:D.Grace eats everything!!She loves goose poop,cat poop,matches,and ANY white paper or tissue!I fight with her on every walk.She lunges for anything in her path.Loves,loves napkins,but only white ones.

Buster's litter box has a cover on it with a small opening.I thought he was constipated cuz no poop for days.One morning I saw Grace's whole head in the opening:eek:.In NY my dog walker took Fella and Grace for Thanksgiving day/night when I worked one year.Fella was good as gold and jumped into her son's bed and slept with him that night.:).She said that after dinner,the table was filled with leftover turkey,ham,vegetables,pies,etc...Gracie jumped up and all she wanted was the white napkins!:D

And yes,I try not to think of all that when I devour her with kisses!!:)

Ewww Gracie that's nasty. Not having kisses from you miss

Yuck, I hate brussels, they are the worst. When I was young we had to eat them, they reminded me of little green brains and I have not changed my opinion of them!

Yes, Gracie has no taste either haha. Disgusting aren;t they yet we still love them :)
