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

Hi Addy and Amy... boy Amy you have been through it too, as have you Addy, I remember reading your story.

I guess none of us are here because we have healthy dogs! So I have to expect the ups and downs and learn to go with the flow a bit more instead of into panic mode :eek::eek:

But, we have had a great weekend! Visiting friends, first time we have done that in a long time! They had a toy for Flynn, he proceeded to chew it into tiny pieces and left them all over her newly laid carpet :eek: so I did a cleanup before we left. She is a dog lover too, so did not mind :) I have pottered in the garden tonight, and he has pottered with me, instead of just laying there on the path :)

Today, I took his sutures out, wound healed nicely except for one small spot overgranulated but not too bad. So, when I took him for his walk tonight I let him off leash for the first time. My gawd, he ran like the wind :D:D he loved it! It did my heart good to see him so happy! Right down the end of our walking circuit is a corn field, he never usually goes over there as it is bordered by a kind of deep drain with a small stream in it and he hates getting his feet wet. But he took a running jump and leapt right over it then disappeared into the corn but came right back out when I called him and he sailed over it again.... yikes, clipped him back on his leash for the rest of the walk, don't think he is ready for those kind of gymnastics and did not want him to overdo it on his first run!! :eek::eek: Never seen him do that before so he must be feeling better :)

Someone suggested fish and he used to get that once a week, but I might give him more of it. I cooked him up a pot of trim steak, rice, carrots and beans tonight, he loved it. There is enough for a few meals so I can freeze some.

Hope I get to keep on giving good reports!!

Trish and Flynny xx

Hi Trish,

I have been keeping up with you and Flynn and cannot begin to tell you how worried I was for a bit there. A SWAB?!? :eek::eek: It was SOOO good to read the subsequent posts, tho, to know that he is recouping in spite of incredible set-backs. I hope this trend continues and ya'll have no more upsets.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

run like the wind, Flynn:D:D:D:D:D:D

I am smiling from ear to ear though glad you leashed him back up so he did not over do it.:D:D:D:D


We all have been through a lot, yes that is true, but Trish, I do admire you in your handling of all of your roller coaster rides. You are truly an inspiration. You can let that go to your head if you like;);):D

Happy New Year Trish and Flynn

What a rascal.. He must just be feeling so good he had to do a little sprint to show his mama. ;)

how wonderful to read this trish..happy and healthy new year to flynn and yourself !!! patty and meka xoxox :)

Hi Leslie, Addy, Amy and Patty... thanks for your messages! We love getting them :D:D

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY K9 FRIENDS!!

We were invited out to dinner at friends last night, Flynny too! Had a lovely evening, but was home in bed by 11pm :rolleyes::rolleyes: So missed the clock ticking over midnight, still it was lovely to celebrate the end of 2012 and welcome 2013! Which will hopefully bring good things for all of us :):)

Today, is Flynny's 6th day in a row of feeling good!! That is a record for him... long may it continue :D I am not going to say he has turned the corner this time, because everytime I say that something comes along to bite us in the butt!! :eek::eek: (but I am quietly thinking it!)

We are getting back to normal, he went up the beach with his Grandad yesterday, a morning walk is part of their usual routine while I am at work. Dad turned 80 in August and the walk does both of them good and he has missed it since Flynn has been sick. :D:D There seems to be a little dog walking community that Dad has met over the years, he chats to them all, the dogs that see each other regularly play and Flynn has sussed out which of the dog walkers has treats in their pockets so he pays special attention to them to get a wee snack!

Have a fun night everyone, I wish Ro would reappear, I miss her and hope everything is OK with her and Chey :( Hopefully some of you will make a better effort than me and actually see the New Year in! :D

Trish and Flynn xx

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Trish and Flynn and I hope Flynn and his granddad have many more walks with their friends.:D:D:D:D:D


HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year Trish and Flynn!! Sounds like it's been a wonderful few days and yes, long may they continue. WHOO HOOO

Cheers to a very good 2013.

Again, sorry to disappear, Trish!!!! Wow, Flynn had another swing. Poor lil guy. I am glad to hear he is feeling good again. He sounds like one spoiled and loved pup;). You are right, the worry that goes into these pups is all so consuming. It is hard not to fear the worse case scenario. Poor Flynn has been through the ringer.

Glad you and Flynn had good holidays.

Hugs,

Ro and Chey

Hi Trish, Happy New Year to you and Flynn! So glad to read that he is doing so well and feeling good, and that you enjoyed your holidays. There is no better gift than having your baby feeling well, especially for the holidays. Thanks so much for checking in on me and Jasper, will post an update in a bit after I check in on a few others. Here's to a happy and healthy 2013!!

Love and hugs,

Tina and Jasper
