That we are and the weather is actually going to be nice all weekend!!

Trish- the pool guy is an older hippie motorcycle guy with a long gray pony tail, He is very nice and we have had him open and close our pool and do repairs for 14 years.

Funny when you asked that because Kate would play Hotel Knollwood; sitting at the desk in the living room and I would be the guest. She always gave me the room over looking the pool as it came with a "pool guy". I have no idea in her mind what that meant but I would always laugh so hard. I think she thought her Papa was the "pool guy":rolleyes:

Have a good work week!!!

Well at least you got the nice room with the pool view Addy!! Yep our gardens are all going to be looking beautiful with all this hard work going on!!!

Well here we are Tuesday morning, and do I have a report yet... NO!! :mad: My patience is wearing thin... and there wasn't a lot to start with. Mike emailed last night to say he did not have it either. Maybe today, my check email button on my phone is wearing out!!

OMG I am such a bad dog mother, Mum had cooked a lovely dinner tonight but it was early so I took mine home on a plate wrapped in paper. Chicken satay sticks. I stopped at the store on the way home and when I got back to the car Flynn had climbed into the front seat, removed all the paper and was crunching away as fast as he could. 9cm of the stick was missing!!! :eek::eek::eek: including the pointy end.:eek::eek: I searched everywhere in the car hoping I would find that piece of stick. They were quite thick satay sticks too..., so I rang Mike in a panic but he had left for the day but he said feed him more dinner and bring him straight down so they could make him vomit. He rang the staff on duty as luckily it was late night for them and gave them instructions.

But trouble is it was pointy end and that could cause trauma and they might have to operate!! He said sometimes difficult to see skinny bits of wood like that on xray so he said best option is for him to puke it out if he can. So the poor Flynn got given IV medicine (apo-morphine) and thank god he puked it up. Two pieces of the wooden stick, pointy sharp end included, with the chicken still skewered on it! We measured it against a whole chicken stick from the other one that he had not got time to eat! He must have gnawed right through the stick and swallowed each piece whole in his haste to finally get some chicken to eat. He home and looking a bit sorry for himself, but hopefully no damage done as there was no blood in the vomit.

I feel so bad for doing that, I did not think he could get to it all wrapped up like that. I am still shaking and feel ill myself! I said lucky he is not a cat because I am pretty sure he has used up more than 9 lives... x

Oh Trish! How frightening for you. Please do not blame yourself, I think we have all overlooked things at one time or another and did not foresee what might happen. We are only human, we are not perfect like our dogs are ;)

I am so happy Flynn is okay and the pieces of stick came out of him. Be kind to yourself. Take some deep breaths and know your quick actions kept Flynn safe. (((HUGS))) to you and to Flynn!

Thanks Vicki

He is feeling much better, hungry and has eaten his dinner. It was that sharp pointy end of the stick that had us worried. Plus Mike saying he might have to operate put the willies up me!! God I have never been so happy to see him puke and that come out of him.... :eek:

Oh Trish!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Thank goodness everything came out alright (literally! :o ;) :))!

I know, I should have taken a photo of it to show you all :eek::p the vet on call and the nurses were all surprised he had chewed right through the stick a couple of time then swallowed it whole - surely he could have just nibbled the chicken off the edge of it :rolleyes: But probably better that he chewed it up a bit and did not swallow the whole 9cm in one piece or that would have had trouble exiting his stomach! I left the sticks there for Mike to have a look at when he goes in tomorrow. I txt him to let him know what happened and he said that Flynn never ceases to amaze him and he hopes his Flynn (the new grandchild) is not such a challenge! :o Night.. bedtime for us! xx

Omg Trish that must have been terrifying. That Flynn he is unstoppable when it comes to getting his meat. Remember the sausages. Lol.
I'm real glad that the sticks including the pointy ends came back up and no blood that would have been horrible.
Hope the rest of your week is less eventful.
