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

Hey Trish

That sounds like fun, he can't help himself but get in trouble can he, thank goodness you had his coat on! He is such a boy :D

Yes I did have a bit of a lie in, not sure what to do today. Need some bits for next week but can't be bothered to go shopping. It's overcast here too despite it being summer! We have had a heat wave of sorts the last few weeks though so I prefer it like this!

You both settled down for the night now? Watching anything good on the telly?

Love
Mel

I hate doing the shopping too, dash in and out if possible! Nah nothing too exciting, was up late last night so think it might be a reasonably early night. My latest addiction at night is "candy crush saga" and it is doing my head in :D:D a few of my family and friends are playing and it is all very competitive :D But I got no lives left now :mad: :eek:

It's 10pm at night and he keeps wanting to go check outside, god knows how he can tell that cat is lurking out there. If I let him out, I have to run out in front of him and get to the gate first or he barks his head off dashing out there and I really do not think the neighbours appreciate that at any time of the day but especially on a wintery evening!! Then he does a couple of circuits of the house to check everything and back in by which time he is wet again so I have the towel on the door to dry him haha. I can smell wet dog from here! He always seems to have more energy in the evenings! Roll on summer when it is light later than 6pm!

Hi Trish,
Enjoying myself reading about Flynn and his new toys! I need to to check out your pics, forgot to do that. I can just see him trashing his toys. Nothing will keep our boy from his treats!

I had a puzzle toy for my Angel Dakota years ago. It was hard plastic and in the shape of a cube. Well, she batted it around for a while to get the treats out and then apparently decided that it would be better to treat it as a chew toy. She knawed away at it until she had it broken open and could get at all the treats. Anything similar after that, she treated the same way, just chew it up until she could get it all apart. I finally gave up with the "interactive" toys! :p

Well, I think we might try to get a little bit more of a snooze in before starting the chores. I used to try to do most of my housework on Saturday so that I could just relax on Sunday, but lately I have been too tired to do that. Well, I will have to get that straightened out before the NFL football season starts again, which is soon. I have to keep Sunday open for football! :D

Thanks again for checking on us Trish, I appreciate it so much.

Hugs to you and Flynn. xo

I know all about candy crush :D

I love it when they scamp around all wet, nightmare to get hold of them. Tia used to dash for anywhere as she hated water!

Well I hope you have sweet dreams and a good day at work tomorrow and hopefully I will catch you again soon, going to do that shopping now!

Love
Mel

Hi Trish, I see your light on now. Just had our pit stop and heading back to bed but wanted to pop in real quick. I am making an effort to try and get a bit more sleep. I finally posted an update on my little man. Should have some lab results back later today. Hope your Monday was good. Smooches for Flynn. xo

Almost forgot - what is candy crush?

Monday sucked!!!! But then it is always my least favourite day of the week... :D Onwards towards the weekend now :D Candy crush is one of the facebook games, very frustrating it is too :) BUT I keep playing, I think I am addicted :D:D

awww, hate sucky Mondays. :( Hope the rest of the week is better. I agree, I never like Mondays either.

Love the fireplace picture by the way. Miracle of miracles the two of them there together all peaceful.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Trish,
How are you and what's up with my Flynny boy? I haven't heard from you in ages. There was som sort of glitch and I wasn't able to log on for a few days. It affected both my IPad and PC. It was bizarre. All the other websites came in, but the forum. Thankfully, it seems to have been fixed now.:)

I hope all is well with you, Flynny, devil cat Elle, and little Cooper. Yes, I still think about him losing his jewels.:D xxxxx

Kathy, I had that same glitch but luckily my wireless proiver was able to fit it Sunday night. Weird, huh?


Hey Trish, looks like you will be starting you Friday. TGIF

Trish I'm candy crushing too!! Haha so addictive but you know when I get worried and stressed somehow that game calms me down.
Just hate running out of lives! :D
Love the image of Flynn walking on the beach with his raincoat...humid and sticky here...cool mist on the beach sounds nice!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for the posts my lovelies!! We are ticking along, waiting impatiently for spring to arrive, although there are a ton of lambs in the paddocks and daffodils everywhere so it is on its way... HURRAY!! :D:D

Flynny is OK, lovely days during the week but now it's the weekend and it poured all day long yesterday AND still going today :mad::mad: time for the raincoats and to get out I think! Flynn is just a bit slower than usual, walking a lot instead of trotting about. I have been trying to cut down his tramadol drops, he is down to 7.5mg now twice a day which is a tiny dose for his size. I cannot remember who's thread it was on about getting them into their dog, I just put the drops on his meat, mix it in and he seems to gobble it down no problem. Just make sure you give it when you know he will eat it all so he gets the whole dose. So maybe his arthritic aches and pains are bothering him. He is due his Pentosan injection so much ring the vet now and go pick it up and give it to try keep on top of that. Otherwise all good in the eating, pooping, mouth ulcer departments :D:D

Thanks for checking in on us! xxxxx

Hi Trish,
Belly rubs for my boy's achy little body. It's been a long time since we had a chance to chat. Too much Candy Crushing, I Suppose!:D

Seriously Trish,
Thank you so much for talking me through many sad, sleepless nights. You will always hold a special place in my heart and Flynny is naturally charismatic.:):D xxxxx

Here is Flynn in all his dirty glory on our walk this afternoon, I was trying to get him running but failed miserably :D so here he is grubby and pretty much standing still!

I think his slowness was due to boredom of staying inside in the rain, once we were up the beach he perked up and has been good since :D:D He rolled in something, I could not see what as he was too far away! Picked up his Pentosan injection and gave it this afternoon so hopefully by giving that regularly each month we can get his aches and pains under control and get him off the Tramadol.

Trish,
Shame on you for for embarrassing that angel Flynny boy! He was doing what tough guys do. Rolling in the muck!! LOL:D I'm glad that he's not hurting.;):) LOL

Great to see that video. What a sweetie. It could have been me that said I was having difficulty getting meds into Keesh. He won't take anything from my hand anymore and he's so bad that he won't take even treats from me in the kitchen as he figures that's the roome where the bad stuff comes from. They are too funny sometimes.

Flynn looks great and I fell in love as soon as I saw his face.

Side note about Candy Crush. I couldn't get past level 4 and wouldn't pay to play the game. I deleted my accounts - LOL

Hey Trish

Sorry I missed you this weekend.

Just checked out his video. Love him looking at you when you are talking to him. He knows exactly what you are saying!

Hope you have a great Monday and hopefully we will catch up soon

Big hugs
Love
Mel

Hi guys! Awwww sorry I missed you all. I was watching the movie Django, pretty good, bit (actually a LOT!) bloodthirsty though!

He did not need a shower, it was just a bit of dirt that brushed off when he was dry thank goodness. He was wet though, lucky I took his raincoat to keep him partially dry and clean!

I think I have been lucky with him and meds, I just wrap the pills in a piece of his venison and he swallows it whole I think! Then mix the Metamucil in bit of water add that to the meat, pop his tramadol drops on top mix it in... I put it in about a half serve of his meat it is a bit soupy with the water but he gobbles/drinks his venison soup mix then I give him the rest of the meat and some biscuits. Seems to work for him.

He did not like Django with all the gunshots and took himself to bed about an hour ago, I can hear him in there having a doggy dream... little yip yip yips!! I love it when I hear that and always wonder what he is dreaming about!

Hey Trish

We are online together woo hoo!

Love he took himself to bed, Boyce does that too, I always wonder what the doggie dreams are about. Tia would wag her tail so I always assumed food :D

Gawd, I am not on the ball tonight.. thought everyone gone to bed so was on facebook! YAY so nice to see you Mel, how was your week?

I agree, it is either chasing things, or a nice big fat red juicy steak!

Week was hellish but that seems to be the norm these days!

How about yours?

Same, weekend has been lovely though! You getting up to anything fun? Sunday night already .... went to darn fast!

Everyone is away at the minute but it's been nice to have a bit of time to myself. Especially as work takes so much in the week

Going to mooch to the shops soon to see what to cook for dinner, was supposed to be hot so was gonna barbie but the weather might have other ideas. Great British summer and all that

I know what you mean about going too quick!

Did you get up to anything exciting over the weekend?

Just the usual shopping and cleaning! Been out visiting and catching up with friends this arvo, walking the boy. Nothing exciting, but I like it like that after a busy week too!! We have a family reunion coming up in couple of weeks, my uncles 80th, so that will be fun. My cousin in London is even home for it, he keeps asking me to come visit. I might just do that one day. Not sure what part he is in now, he used to live in Wimbledon and I stayed there a while during my OE. Late 80's and have not made it back since!

The reunion should be great fun, getting everyone together and catching up with their lives. It never ceases to amaze me how quick the time does go and how much actually changes!

We are going away again in a few weeks back to the beach we went to in may. I can't wait to get away from work again!

London is a great place for sights and architecture and shopping but for me I will always see it as work. I think it's better at night than by day as all the bridges lit up makes it look better. Very expensive these days too!

I loved London!! So enjoyed my year there, shouldn't have met that Australian bloke who dragged me off to India then to Sydney... might have stayed a bit longer :D:D

Are you taking the kids to the beach?

Men! :D

Yes we will be taking the kids for a few days. They love it there so I feel guilty when we go without them. They cost me a small fortune mind!

Right I am just gonna nip to the shops, hopefully I will catch you in a bit or later in the week, shouldn't be too long need something for breakfast as its 12:15 and I haven't had a thing :eek:

Big hug to you and bum scratches to the wee man
Love
Mel

Yes bedtime for me, nearly 11.30 here so least I am going before midnight!! Have fun shopping, BBQ sounds yum so hope your weather sorts itself out! Go out for brunch, I love doing that on Sunday but didn't today, too rainy here too! Nice to catch up with you Mel, hope your week is not too yuck!! See you soon :D:D xxx

Okay, I am eavesdropping and so intrigued about the bloke dragging you off to India:D:D:D:D I have made up quite a story in my head about it.:):):):):)

I came over here to answer your question about the probiotics. :) My personal opinion is to keep them on it but then remember you may have to change it up after a while and switch to a new one. I have Koko on a probiotic as well and he does not have poo issues.
I think with a few mucus stools here and there, I would keep up the probiotics for our Flynn.

Sorry your weekend is over, I still have Sunday, though the clock is ticking away.

I watched House Hunters International last night and it was about a couple shopping for a flat in London. They ended up renting in a suburb though, quite the fancy digs too compared to the flat in London, but then they missed the city vibes.:):)

Hey Mel- have a great week!!!!:D:D:D

Love the Flynn video. :) Boy he sure did have fun getting into something it looks like. I was thinking, oh, bath time for you little man. hehehee

I'm with Addy, the bloke story sounds very intriguing! Bet Addy has got a good one going in her head! hahaha

Ugh, work, I don't even want to think about how busy it is right now. I am hoping that we can get away somewhere just for a little bit in Sept maybe once this month is over with.

A family reunion sounds like fun!! It's always so interesting to see what people have been up to and what they look like after long periods of time. Key phrase "I bet you don't remember me..." LOL I always want to follow that one up with, "well, if you would tell me your name I might..." :D

Hope you get over the cold thing, nasty deal that vertigo dizziness.

Have a good week
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi all
Thanks Addy, I am going to get more probiotic! I guess if its not broken don't fix it!! He is so good on this mixture I shall keep it going, I just was thinking it would be good to get him off anything that was not needed. I have got him off the Losec with no deterioration so guess that is something, he is now down to half his Tramadol dose too. :)

When I arrived to pick him up tonight, he was destroying a tennis ball he had found somewhere at Mum and Dad's. I took away all his soft toys and balls there, so he has been very industrious and hunted a lost one out! Smart little dog, so I let him chew it a while. He still has not figured it out his puzzle and just gives it the bash!

Nothing exciting about the Ozzie bloke, overseas romance is all :D

Ok, Trish.....I've always wanted to go to Australia but their bug population makes me rethink things. Then today, I saw this and know New Zealand is also on the iffy list. Geez, what do you folks feed the bugs across the pond!? :p

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wil...s-carrots.html

OMG That critter is definitely on steroids! LOL I can just see Buddy going after that thing, such a mighty hunter. :)

I hope you are having a good day and that devil cat leaves my pal Flynny alone.:D xxxxx

YOWSER! That baby is huge! Little Barrier Island eh. Well, won't put that on my bucket list. I'm still game for the mainland though! :) Flynn will protect us all I'm sure and then roll in it. (see the faith FlynnMan) hahahaha

huggers
Sharlene and the muffin

Ummm....I'm staying in the states where the bugs are small:-)

I don't know about that! I'd still like to visit NZ and check out Flynny's beach, bugs and all!:D;):cool:

Oh MY! Is it possible that huge cricket really exists?? Maybe that picture was tinkered with"photoshop" That thing is super huge!! Yikes!

Barbara :)

Haha that is no cricket, it is a giant weta!! Never fear, I have never seen one like that! Imagine a carrot eating bug :eek: That was in the press here quite a few months back and we were all horrified :D:D I have seen small wetas out in the bush (like your forests).

We don't have any snakes whatsoever... we are very strict checking any ships etc arriving to make sure none sneak into our country! We have no bears, coyotes or anything worse than wild pigs so I would have to say the US would be way higher on the "animals that can kill you scale" than little NZ!! Only one slightly poisonous spider... so I would have to say our creepy crawly population is amongst the least scary in the world!! I would never walk in bare feet outside in Australia, tons of things there to kill you :D:D But I would quite happily run about with no shoes on here.

Now, if only we could get rid of the earthquakes which are our main natural disasters!! So come on down all of you, I promise you will not run into a giant carrot eating weta at my house!! xx

Trish:
That bug is too funny, and I have to agree we probably have more deadly things here in the states!. Hope Flynn is continuing to do well. Blessings
Patti

I'll visit if you promise to keep the Degas away :-)
