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

No more painting today, got up and my arms and legs were stiff as a board, well seeing I,m not used to exercise, may do some more tomorrow. I took mum food shopping today and the car was getting blown all over the road, worst winds in a while. Then I just chillaxed the rest of the day.

I,m sure once the Abs get into his system, he won,t maybe feel a bit yuk with them. Like your plan of making sure he is ok on them before going on I would do the same ;)

That was a good workout then! I think he is feeling OK, I just made French Toast for breakfast and he came out to see what was on offer so he cannot be feeling too bad! Gosh those winds sound nasty, has been windy here and my brother said driving home to Wellington yesterday was a bit hair raising! I read an article that was on the global weather, including yours, high temps in Australia and snow storms in US.. sounds like it is whacky everywhere right now!

Evening :D

Internet access was non existent while I was away due to the blinking weather, it's been monsoon like rains and gales, lots of flooding around the area but we were ok. A tree did fall on our place but did no damage :eek: Home is higher up so should be ok here, it's blowing another gale now! We aren't as bad as the us East Coast mind, must be awful to have all that snow and ice!!

Just catching up on the wee man, rubbish about his foot! Hope those antibiotics kick in soon and don't make him too sick

Glad you had a great new year, mine was very family orientated too, my 6 month old nephew came as well so he kept me on my toes! Boyce didn't get a minute so I think he is pleased to be home to relax.

It was hard without Tia at Christmas, I light my candle for her, Bo, Fella, Buddy, Scoop, Woody and all the other pups we lost and had a little cry then I forced myself to cook. Mum loved her pad and cried :D

Hopefully you will be home soon and we can catch up real time

Big hug, scratches to the wee man

YAY lots of Mel posts!!! Your Back!! Hoooray, we missed you!

So pleased you didn't get washed out, it sounds awful and there was more on the news tonight from the UK and US weather.

Well that's another 1st tucked under your belt, I hope they get easier for you... I lit a Christmas candle for Tia and told her to go hunt out the penguin beams :) x

I missed you guys too. Is so frustrating without internet. I fully expected it to work as it had been at home yet I couldn't really get a signal after Boxing Day. Then the kids turned up!

The place we went in the summer got flooded it's really bad out there so glad we made it home safely. I won't be organising any meetings for next week as I don't see the point of travelling if you don't have to!

How is the wee man tonight?

Ps thanks for lighting a candle. I kept the penguin inside by the tree and she looked awesome xxx

That is weird about the internet signal, maybe all that foul weather mucked it up. AND if you had the kids you have to concentrate on them... ohhhh 6 month old would have kept you busy :D

I am sure there must be some official type warning not to travel if you don't have too.. I am sure they don't want the flooded roads clogged up with people getting stuck!! You have the best excuse for no meetings@!

Flynny seems good, thought a little nauseous this morning but no vomiting, good poop tonight and he run and run on his walk tonight. I am still soaking his paw each night in saline as vet said to keep that up. It looks about the same but he has only had 3 doses of the antibiotics. We have been out for a while tonight to a friends so he is a bit tired and taken himself to bed already!

Only one more day off for me then back into normal weeks :mad: Next break is in early Feb, travelling up to Auckland with Mum and a friend to go to the Dolly Parton concert... tickets are Mum's Chrissy present. The plan was to take Flynn and get his ultrasound scan done at the same time because it is due about then. We are staying with the same friends that let us stay when he had his surgery last month. The only problem is they have since adopted a Birman cat!!! They said it will be OK and Flynn can still stay... no way, jose! He will chase it for sure and it is not fair on the cat being in a new house to suddenly have a cat hating fox terror :) arrive!! So not sure what I am going to do about this, Mum suggested contacting the vets, get his scan done and see if they can keep him there overnight, but he would hate that. Other plan was to go up and back another time and find a pet friendly motel to stay the night in... so such decisions!

I think it couldn't get a strong enough signal as we were surrounded by trees and non fibre connections can get interrupted by weather!

The baby was good but he doesn't like to be put down and he weighs a ton already. My back muscles are paying for it now but he is such a sweet little smiler and the crying goes right through you his parents got drunk so I had him all new Years day!!

I love it when they take themselves to bed! Such little independents! I guess it will take a few days for the antibiotics to kick in, hope they don't make him feel sick tomorrow.

Maybe schedule for another time, I wouldn't want to take him where a cat lived either as it's not fair on either of them and you would only be worried if you had to leave him somewhere while you and mom got your country on :D

LOL love how the parents took the chance to have a drinkie while Aunty Mel was on hand for the babysitting duties!! Yeah carrying a baby about when your not used to it can be surprisingly heavy!! Your poor aching back!

I just emailed the Auckland vets to see what they think about him possibly staying overnight that weekend, would be great if it could be done at same time as it is such a long way to drive and I would prefer to only do it once!! Plus it will be nice for him during the drive to have his Nana with him in the back patting him etc :D:D If they can have him I can take him out during the day if we do lunch etc and drop him off back at night... ohhh I will feel guilty but he will be safe there for a night or two.

Hey

Sorry I disappeared. Boyce got up late and demanded his walk straight away!

Of course, I forgot it was 6 hours each way. Hopefully they will say it's ok to do that.

Sleep well and I will catch you in the morning

Yowser Mel, sounds like you are all still catching the rains there. All this water and flooding, not good at all. Hope you have some dry weather in the forecast soon. You and Tracy both are going to be soggy! :)

Sounds like the holidays were good and busy and that you need a holiday to recover. :) :) Those are always the best kinds right. :)

I hope you can wrap everything up in one trip up to Auckland. So much easier to only have to do that once. :) Crossing fingers for a positive reception from the hospital up there.

Oh wow, a Birman cat. Maybe an easy introduction between Flynn and kitty will allow for future ease between then. :) Baby steps. :)

I got a giggle out of Mel's turn of phrase "get your country on" ROFL!!!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin
