That made me laugh, can you image if they did have a forum, lol but I guess they must be used to it, I know Craig was used to me, questioning and re questioning everything, but he was sweet about it.
Why are you not in bed Mrs, its late over there, I just popped in before I get ready to go my daily walk, don,t think it will be far today as its bitterly cold :D

Yes, I think if I ever had to interview any new prospective vet I would ask that, how they deal with questions, communication in general like email because it is those little things that mean so much and the support is vital, I remember reading a lot of a vets work is dealing with the owners! Man, I would drive me mad so all credit to him!!!
Yep nearly midnight, just watching a tennis game... I love sports :) It's live Australian Open... Djokovic looks like he is going down...
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Not really a sports fan, although I love the athletics and the tennis, hows my Andy Murray getting on, Djokovic going down mmm surprised at that he usually does very well, he may very well pull it back as I,ve seen him do that before :)

Funny you said that lol as he just broke back and looking like it might go to 5 sets now... can't stay up that late!! Andy smashed his racket last night, like a petulant boy :p but he won!

Oh I love Flynn's new avatar photo! It may not be so new but I've been away from the board for a bit. He is such a cutie and glad to read he's doing so well.
We have off leash hours in Central Park and it's amazing how little trouble there is between dogs and between owners. It's a delicate balance though.
Trixie has had a touch of naughtiness lately too!! :p I think it's cabin fever..with this brutal cold and snow she has not had any long walks since Sunday morning...ugh..so she is all over the house looking for opportunities to take things she shouldn't. She also wants me to chase her and play tug of war...not my favorite indoor games!! Sometimes I wish Trixie would be the kind of dog that drops a ball for a throw and brings it back right to me and drops it again...but NOOOOO. Typical terrier she wants a bit of a battle....anyway glad to hear Flynn is being a bit naughty himself because he must be feeling pretty good to be looking for some trouble!! ;)
Hope he continues to do so well!! :D

whooo hoooo almost the weekend! Love it when Fridays roll around. :)
Hope you and Flynn have had a good week. Hope your fish cooker is doing better and going to be home soon. You know Flynn will be missing his buddy. :)

Hi Barbara... that's the look he gives me when he thinks it time we went for a walk... he stares me out and then gives a bit of a bark :) He has been naughty, tonight on his walk he was running along and right by the edge of our field he came across a cat sleeping in the afternoon sun, they gave each other quite a shock, the cat leapt up and then it was a full on chase which luckily the cat won by jumping a fence :eek::eek: He does the fetch, he brings the ball back and drops it for me and then barks till I throw it again. If it is too wet for a walk, I toss it for ages until he tires of it then sits down to chew the ball up! Glad you have off leash areas, they really need it to get a good run. The exercise is so good for them, strengthens everything including heart and I get him loose at least once a day.
Dad is still in hospital Sharlene, I am going to take Flynn tomorrow with Mum. I will bring Dad down in a wheelchair to the café, there is an outside area which I know I can sneak Flynny into, he does miss Dad so it will be nice for them both. Then on the way home I am planning a nice run for him in the dog park. Hopefully Dad will be home on Monday if all goes well, he had a long line put in for IV ABs today which he has to have daily for six weeks. So this has been a bit of a sucky week with Dad so ill and having surgery but hopefully he is starting to turn the corner and Flynny will have his fish cooker back soon!! xxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Oh I'm glad that he is hopefully getting better. I know the family And Flynn will be relieved when he is home and out of the woods. 6 weeks! Yikes that's a long time, but assume he really needs it to knock back infections. Wishing him all the best.
Dogs, love a good run don't they! :) and trouble, they love to get into trouble hahaha
oh gee, Molly and a cat met up in surprise like that one day (around the corner of a hedge) except the cat jumped straight up in the air and then headed for molly. Molly hadn't been touched by the cat, but ran towards the street (this is on leash) howling like she was being killed. I almost had a heart attack because I thought for sure the cat had got her with it's claws, but nope, didn't happen. Molly is a drama queen. I pulled molly back on the leash, picked her up, checked her out, all was well, her heart was racing though and the cat sat and looked at us. I put molly down again and continued on our walk and looked back only to see the freaking cat was stalking us down the sidewalk and would stop when we stopped, go when we went. That cat still periodically stalks molly when we are on our walks, but they've never come that close to meeting since.
Oh I like the plan to sneak Flynn into to say hi to your dad. That will be quite the adventure, fun time. :)
have a good weekend

Trish, somehow I am not seeing what has put your dad into the hospital. Undoubtedly I am being blind as usual and it is right in front of my face somewhere in your thread :o, but bear with me and please tell us again what has gone wrong. And also tell your dad he has a lot of adopted children all around the world who are sending him well wishes!
I love the notion of sneaking Flynnie in for a visit, too. I bet he'll be excellent therapy for everybody who's out in the cafe that day -- not just your dad! ;) :)
