Wow, I cant believe it has been 18 months and he is digging to Spain no less.
Good job Flynny and Trish.

Flynn is our wonder dog. (I'm sure he has a cape lurking under all those blankets somewhere!)
18 months! Congratulations that is really awesome news. It's not easy going through one surgery and having a great outcome and Flynn has been through 3 now! I consider that pretty inspirational.
Now that is the way to have a mid week hump day!!

Yay 18 months post surgery and still looking and feeling great he is a special boy that Flynn.
Any report yet or have I missed it. But to be honest you don't need a report to tell you Flynn is great :D
Hope you had a good sleep :)

Awww, 18 months, that is really something. Flynn is our Miracle Boy. And you are an amazing Mum Trish, I know your care has been key to all of his amazing recoveries. Congratulations!
Hey, that Shoreline Motel looks pretty nice. I know, such a small world! And the funny thing is, I wouldn't have known any of this if one of the nurses wouldn't have commented on the crunchie and showed it to me and said she was eating candy from New Zealand. The nurse whose husband is from there was right there so we started talking. We became quite friendly after that! Oh gosh Trish, I could only hope to be able to visit your beautiful country one day!!
Happy weekend to you! I have to go in early to work so better try to get another hour of sleep. And then weekend for me too! I'm still waiting to hear the details of Flynn's report. :)
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Awwww thanks girls, he is my little hero and I am so proud of how he has done right back to his first liver resection 2 1/2 yrs ago!! He is a tough little guy :):D Your right Barbara, the two surgeons we have had have definitely saved his life because he surely would not be here without having his three operations!
He was into see Mike on Wednesday, his last trip for BP before we went to Auckland was cut short as they had emergencies arrive while he was there and they did not get all the sets of BP done. So Mike wanted him back for half a day. He did 2 sets of 7, drops the highest and lowest to get the mean BP. First lot were 130 and 2nd lot 116!! YAY we were delighted. He has a lovely nurse who take such good care of him, she said she loves doing the BP.... keeps him in a nice quiet room and lays down with him petting him and gets him as calm as possible before they do it. She also gave him a nail clip at the end!
He is doing so well these past couple of weeks, dunno what it is.. maybe the new venison ziwipeak. He is trembling and twitching way less, eyes are clear, poops are quite possibly the best they have been in the last couple of years, full of energy. The only downside is that darn itching. It is less I think, but he has taken to scratching his back like a bear on the metal hinge under Dad's Lazyboy chair, he can only do that while Dad has his legs up!! So they are watching him like a hawk to stop it. I also think the improvement might be due to all the chemicals from his flea treatments getting out of his system. He has not had his comfortis for nearly 6 weeks since I got his new natural drops. So maybe that is helping him feel better?!?! Whatever it is, we will take it! :D:)
Mike has been in touch with the IMS about the still missing report... and emailed me today...
Reply received 9pm last night. Things have been crazy and he is behind in reports hopes to have it done Monday. It is detailed and complex so taking time over it. Did comment that “There was nothing of real concern”.
So I guess we just sit tight and wait and hope for no nasty surprises in the report when we do finally get it!!
I was meant to go out tonight for dinner with friends, got home with Flynn and he just *knew* I was about to go out and leave him and he looked so sad and pathetic sitting by the car and he would not come inside!! I dunno how he picks up I am going out, I did not do anything different, in the end I stayed home... what a wuss the dog ruling my life!! But I was tired anyway so it did not need much to convince me to stay home tonight!! We have had a lovely night in too!!
Hope your Friday's go well, time for weekend rest for us!!! xxxxx

Oh Trish, I'm so very glad to read how well Flynn is doing! From across all these miles, he has totally captured my heart, as well. I wouldn't have been able to leave him either, the little scamp/sweetheart! :) :o
