Hey Trish and Flynn, stopping by to say thinking of you and hope you are happy and dry.
I have been under the weather again but thinking of you both.
Zoe's friend had her spleen removed because of a tumor. She recovered so quickly and so well but now they say she has cancer and needs chemo. I feel sad.
But I could not help think of how Flynn always bounced back after his surgeries and I was just amazed at how well Bella has done.
We are thinking Spring and you are thinking about old man winter.
Luv ya

Hi all
Thanks for the well wishes, Cyclone Pam did mainly miss us thank goodness. Went down the East Coast where I am but far enough out to sea not to do any real damage. Rainy, windy couple of days and the sea's are still massive. Very impressive when I drove past today, so beach walks with Flynny are definitely out!! He remains good, but real limpy the weekend, so no big walks. Better now, maybe it was the air pressure going low with the cyclone. But he is a happy little fellow!! We sure are in autumn, I have been nearly tempted to put the heating on last couple of nights, but noooooo not ready for it yet lol I am sure it will warm back up for the weekend!
Sorry have not been about much, busy here too. Looking at houses, one I quite like but of course they want more than I want to pay so will see where that goes. I went to the open home on Sunday, took Flynn for a little walk as it is not far from here. I had him out in the back garden and the estate agent was telling me how nicely the deck was designed as it was "floating"... hmmm well Flynn took one look, went down on his haunches and crawled fast as and disappeared underneath :eek::eek:. Lucky he still had his leash on which I grabbed and pulled him back out, so told her the fancy deck might not be such a good thing with a little dog!
Addy, sorry to hear about you being under the weather again, gosh it has been one thing after another healthwise for you. Hope your on top of it in time to enjoy Spring, I hope your spring bulbs will be popping their heads up soon with a bit of colour for you!! Koko will be well and truly ready for romping on some nice soft grass :) Aww sucks about Bella needing the chemo, mind you with pets I always think of my brothers cat Timmy that was on chemo for his lymphoma and lasted 2 1/2 years, they give much smaller doses and from what I have heard can tolerate it quite well so I hope it works for her.
Well that's about it from me, sorry have not been around all your threads but know I am thinking of you all and sending big hugs to all the pups!! xxxxxx

Howdy Trish!
I'm just checking in and looking to find how you and Flynny are getting along.
What's this about house hunting? Did anything turn positive re: the little house you liked a lot?
How is Flynny doing? Is there anything he has to contend with now? Bailey is doing very well. Bob tells me she is four and I've been telling anyone who asked that she was 3. Where does the time go?
We go back north in two weeks. Ryan's wedding is 4 weeks later. Should be a very busy May. :eek:
Hugs,
Susan

No news is good news :) We are doing pretty well, not too happy about the colder weather and darker earlier nights. Flynny keeps trucking along, he must be turning 14 next month or two, not sure when as he was a rescue pup at approx. 6-9 months of age in December 2001 :) Anyway his life is a birthday party every day so he sure isn't missing out :D:D Sorry not been about much, but thinking of all you with much love xxxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hi Trish!
Happy to see this good update on Flynn. He will be 14 soon, that is just amazing! Yes, know what you mean, sometimes no news is good news! I haven't been able to be around here much, which I am not too happy about. Thanks for the Easter message on our thread, hope you had a good one with your family. How are your Mum and Dad doing?
Need to post on Jasper again one of these days, fortunately not much news for him either. :) But I am pretty sure I never got his kidney values posted from his last labwork. I am so bad. Lots going on at my work and none of it good. Just trying to hang in.
I think about you guys all the time and hope everyone is doing well. Smooches and belly rubs for Flynn. :D
Hugs from me, Jasper and Shelby xo

Hey Trish! Looooooooooong time no talk, it's been 14 months since I last logged in apparently but been thinking about you every now and then wondering how the Flynnmeister has been going. So glad to hear things are chugging on well and that he is still up to his tricks (haven't been back through the thread, just saw the bit about deck diving)
It's coming up 18 months now that I lost Fraser, but Ozzie is still going strong, 15.5yrs and healthy as a horse thankfully, arthritis and cataracts to be expected but otherwise well.
Im sure there have probably been ups and downs for you since I last checked in but I'm glad to see things are good for the moment anyway. Take care, still think of you and do make sure you pick a date for Flynns birthday party!
Naomi.
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Naomi!!!! Well what a nice blast from the past to read your news!! Will pop over to your thread to read the latest as see a post there from you :D
We are still doing pretty good, decided earlier in the year to seriously cut down on his vet visits, bloods etc, he has not had a blood test since December and what do ya know, he is doing fine and a lot less stress for him and me! Haven't been to his IMS since January, he will go in the next month or two for a scan to check his liver and stomach lumps, but we hope to hear the same news... no change! Physically, perhaps a little slower but his limping is not too bad, he is back on monthly cartrophen and that seems to be holding him in these colder months. Plus half a previcox does wonders and we believe for him, it is worth the risk when we balance up quality of life issues.
He is still loving his walks, he can go for an hour on my continued get fit programme, have managed to lose 12kg so far! (me not him :D) So if he can walk that far it's telling me he is still the super dog he always has been!
But boy has the weather turned, but there are ways for a doggie to keep warm eh :) http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/albu...pictureid=7703 :D
I will try visit a bit more often, I always manage to hear if an adrenal pup pops in :) xx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Trish, you're here!! How lovely to see you!!! :) :) :)
Absolutely great to hear that Flynn is doing well and I totally support you spacing out the pokes and prods. He has been such a brave boy and totally deserved a vacation from vet visits and worry (you both have!).
Love the new picture of the snuggle- bunny. He is just too fetching for his own good. ;)
So good to see you, and please give the boy a scritch from his Auntie Marianne. :p
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
He is a cutie isn't he. Amazing how the years fly by.
Now it is winter in New Zealand and summer finally coming our way. (if we can get past tonights, brrrr weather)
Elle still terrorizing flynnman?
