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

Hey,, you have got me all inspired so have been in and out doing some yard work!!

Yep, its the haka! It is a bit frightening, other teams have different ways of dealing with it. Other Pacific Island teams have their own one, so it is quite spectacular when they do it at the same time. The game was pretty shite, lots of mistakes for the first match of the season but we just won, so we will take that!! Hopefully by the time they get to you they will be there sparkling best!

Sorry about California Chrome Addy, I googled to read the history of the races. Shame he did not win, there was some talk about the one that did win today had not been in the other races so maybe was fresher and how that is not really fair on the ones like California Chrome who do the hard yards racing in them all.

yup, I say that every time. Does not seem fair to put these fresh horses in at the last race. I honestly don't think we will ever see another Triple Crown winner until something changes. Seems unfair to those that have run the other two and then here comes a whole dang crop of horses all fresh and ready.

I wonder if I can watch the games on my laptop?

Dont go working too hard in the yard, I'm getting all stiff from our work out.:rolleyes: I must be getting old.

Hmmm not sure, that link you had for NRL League is not right, that is the Australian rugby league which is different game to the one they play in heaven!! :D the haka is the Maori challenge, during the Maori wars in the 1800s that is what they used to do before battle.

Yep, that is so not fair. Should have to enter your intentions and race them all fair and square.

Have no idea about this Stanley Cup Tina is watching, no clue on the rules, just seem to have to skate and bash the opposition :eek::eek: NY is winning though so go them!!! :D

Ok, so "our" team is not in that league. Got it.:):):):):) I thought I watched a House Hunters International in New Zealand- a couple looking for a home - stopped at a cultural center and they learned a welcome dance. If I were the team watching the All Blacks perform the haka, I would be worried. They did look like warriors.

Not sure either about the Stanley Cup but go NY:D:D:D:D:D I will have to go google it.

Gotta run Trish, looks like a storm is coming and I need to get Koko out.

Yep, I have sat here long enough to eat my sandwich for lunch! Back to it, cya later... hope the storm only brings a gentle sprinkle to your garden and misses all the weeds! x

I love the haka!! It's really cool to see that. I'd love to see that in person some time. Their faces get so ferocious looking and the other team glares back at them. You can just feel the adrenal pumping up, even through the tv. It's awesome!

California Chrome is still an amazing horse, I think. This is his first loss as a 3 year old and that's not bad. 12 starts? They said he had a cracked hoof at the the end, which he must have gotten right out of the gate. :( Poor thing.
I read about the training of how they use to train the horses right from the beginning for the triple crown, so would would train them to start like every few weeks. Now like California Chrome, he'd typically have 7 weeks between starts. As long as the Belmont is and all the hoopla with the other two before it, you just know they must be tired. It's hard to go that distance if you aren't feeling fresh (for a horse). :)

We didn't get to the back yard today after all. Instead hubs laid new sod on the side of the house, built it up so rain water would run away from the house instead of towards it, and then put down new sod. It looks really good. Back yard is still waiting though. :)

Movie was fun. Nice to have someone come and take your order and deliver, drinks, food, whatever you want.

Hi all

We have had a good Flynny week here :D:D he is doing so well right now it is fantastic to see. IBD good, itchiness gone, still a bit of an occasional limp when he gets up but we can live with that. :) He is due his Pentosan injection and forgot to get it with his other meds I picked up last week. It is only monthly and I give it at home to save money. I am trying to source his meds at a bit of a cheaper price especially the Samilyn which is $155 per month! :eek: He is most definitely worth every penny I spend on him!

I have had a couple of days away in Tauranga which is 3.5hrs drive north, got home last night. Work meeting plus a catchup with my niece. Gorgeous couple of days away. Flynn stayed with his Nan and Grandad and had a lovely time, when I walked in he barked at me then went back to ripping up his toy squirrel and they were bits of it flung around the lounge. :D so he did not seem too miss me at all :D :rolleyes:

Hope your all having a good weekend, up early here and it is frosty outside but clear sky so should be just perfect for a walk later when it warms up! xx

Staying with your mom and dad was probably like a vacation for Flynny. There was no was following him around checking poop all the time! Lol :D:D:eek: I'm thrilled that you both are doing so well.

Love the Flynn man and hope that he continues to baffle the docs forever! xxxxx

Hi Kathy, yes it was a little holiday for the boy lol... sounds like he was suitably spoiled, he even had the fire lit for him to lie in front of. Mum reckons he returns to his wolf heritage by staring into the flames :rolleyes::confused::)?!? :D He is a lucky lad having two homes to call his own! Is certainly nice to have him in pretty good health!!

Hi Trish,
I'm so pleased to read how well Flynn is doing! It just does my heart good to hear this. It sounds like he really enjoys his time at your Mum and Dads. That is so nice that they are close by and can watch him. I sure miss having family in town for that reason, especially since Jasper has gotten sick. It sure would be nice if my Mom was here, for many reasons.

How did your work meeting go? Sounds like you had a nice time visiting with your niece.

Wow, that Samilyn is pricey! I hope you can find it cheaper someplace. Can you look online for that? I know the Denamarin that I get is pricey as well but not near that expensive, and I think we can purchase it online here in the states. I checked a little while back and it wasn't really any cheaper to order it online than it was to buy it at my vet so I just go ahead and get it at the vet's office.

Thanks for posting on our thread and checking on us Trish, I'll be posting an update over there in a second. I still am not used to using this voice feature on the iPad, it's okay but I'd much rather be typing. :rolleyes: xo
