Good times here last night. :) So glad you were all able to catch up. Thank god for the forum. :)
Gosh, already that time for the follow up for Flynn. I swear I don't know where the time flies off to. sheezzzz
Mel, sounds like work has been a real bugger for you.
Tracy, your job sounds like it is going to be real interesting. I do hope that your co-workers pup will recover soon. That paw sounds painful to me.
hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I've been stuck on level 350 on Candy Crush for WEEKS now!
I think that I heard something about some states in the US not allowing puppies to be sold in pet stores.
I'm positive that Daisy was a product of a puppy mill. Even though we purchased her, I consider that I saved her. Now that I have educated myself, I will not buy from a pet store again.

The city of San Diego has banned the sale of Puppies in pet stores. :o

Ro, she is just the most gorgeous darling little girlie, love the pic in her Valentines outfit so pretty in pink!! Quite the chatty little thing too isn't she!! Thanks for sending them, they started my day off with a huge smile ... like this ... ---> :D
Valerie and Kathy, so pleased to hear they are stopping the sale of the puppies in some states... go San Diego!! That is great to read. If I ever get another dog it will be another rescue like Flynny!
Sharlene, time does just whiz by, cannot believe it is nearly 3 months now since his liver resection. He is doing so well, he is actually laying next to me on the couch have a doggy dream, yip yip yip hehe. We had a great run up the beach tonight, he seems so fit lately. Love all your comments on his photo, he does look good for his age, 12 now! I was thinking while I was walking along about making those big decisions for his three surgeries and all the stress involved with the operations and recovery. But his two surgeons have literally saved his life three times now and I will be forever grateful to them. Anyway enough of those reflections, he is here with me and living his doggy life with gusto and that is enough for me :)
Dad was discharged today, he is home to keep resting up. Hb came up to 86 :rolleyes: so he still feeling pretty funky from that. I drove him home on my lunch break, Mum came out and so did Flynn and Elle right to the gate to escort him back inside, I was worried they were going to trip him up they were smooching around his legs happy to see him!! The Orthopaedic Clinical Nurse Specialist is going to keep an eye on him at home and he has to see his surgeon next week. So fingers crossed the oozing keeps on settling.
So apart from a can of coke exploding in my bag this morning, what a blardy mess :p it has been a good day here!! Hope you all have the same xxxxxx

Crossing fingers for your dad. Stop oozing dad!
Sometimes it's good to reflect, it puts things in perspective which can be a good feeling. Flynn Looks great, has plenty of energy, and over all appears to be doing pretty darn good. So, expect a good report from the specialists.
Yuck! Exploding coke, that sounds very messy. I've had them explode in the freezer before. That's not a good idea either by the way.
hugs,

Hi Trish,
So glad to read that your Dad is home from the hospital. I sure hope that oozing stops and that the antibiotics kick that darned infection. He must be so tired, and you and your Mum too. Hospital stays are so exhausting for everyone.
I was thinking about you and Flynn all afternoon here while I was at work. If I calculated correctly, it should be about 5 hrs post scan now. I sent all the positive vibes I could muster at the time of his appt. All fingers, paws and stubs crossed here for good results.
Sorry I missed out on a great chat session on the weekend with you, Mel and Tracy. Sounds like it was fun. Glad you all got caught up, hope I can join next time. :) I will be checking later for any updates on our boy.
Big hugs, and smooches for Flynn,
Tina and Jasper xo

Hi Trish,
Loved seeing the new photos! I've been trying to post some myself but having some trouble.
Wow...is it 3 months already?? Looking at Flynn in the photos you would never know he had these surgeries. He looks fantastic and no way he looks like a 12 year old dog!! He has such a young look! Glad he is doing so well. :p
Good news about your Dad..I'm sure he is happy to be at home. Hoping the oozing lets up and all is well in no time!!
Barbara :)

Hi everyone!!
Aww Tina, you are a day early chicky!! We are leaving tomorrow morning at 5.30am ish, scan 11am :) So according to my calculations that is 4pm your time! Synchronise watches :D:D:D You are always missed and very welcome when we manage to get on at the same time! He is not allowed to eat after 8pm tonight, which is only bit over half hour away so I will give him extra snacks then. I have cut down his ziwipeak a bit, he likes it and it is agreeing with his tummy. But last week when I went in to pick up some pills at the vets I weighed him and he had put on a bit over a kg since surgery :eek::eek: We have been strictly giving him recommended amounts so have cut it back a little and Mum said he has been yodelling for his lunchtime snack when he thinks it is time!
Thanks for all the well wishes for Dad girls, lovely to see you popping in Barbara! He had a good day. He is delighted to be back in his own bed and catching up on sleep. Not much ooze on the dressing, they have said sometimes they just keep on oozing a little and that might be as good as we can get him without having to resort to surgery.
Will let you know how we go tomorrow xxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Well *%$@! So much for my calculations, LOL! :D Ok, I will do a repeat of all the positive vibes again later today, at the right time this time. I imagine some extra never hurts!! :rolleyes: :p
The little man is going to be hungry. Yodeling for his lunch snack, omg that is so cute. That is so hard when they have to be fasting, and they have that pitiful look in their eyes. It's necessary, though they don't understand.
All the best for the appt and scan Trish, as well as the drive. We continue to have all things crossed here, including the stubs!
