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

Funny how we are now All Black fans here. :) I never even watched rugby before and had to have trish and tracy give me pointers on what they where doing and why.
Exhilarating stuff!

Wooot well I think all your support pushed them over the line.... it was so exciting and winning for some of our guys who are retiring was the icing on the cake :D:D:D

We halfway through evil November and so far *fingers crossed* nothing too much to report on Flynn... he has been pretty spritely in fact!! Every day after work I pick him up from Mum and Dads and bring him home... he goes does his circuit of the yard, finds his tennis ball then sits there with it between his paws and BARKS till I come play with him :D:D Neighbours must hate him :eek::cool: but he not here all day so they can't complain too much. The other night he went outside at about 9, heard a racket like someone being murdered, raced outside and he had picked a fight with a hedgehog... well it was not much of a fight, hedgie was rolled into a tight ball and Flynn was going to town biting it... did not care the quills were shredding his mouth... dragged him off and took him inside and cleaned him up... no major damage.. txt Mike and gave him antibiotic and she seems to have no lasting damage there... just was limping a little bit more on that front leg. By crikey theres life in the old dog yet!! He forgets he is a geriatric and should be going at a slower pace these days!!

Still liking his walks... bit shorter these days.

We are increasing the family :D:rolleyes::p I have my name down for two kittens... I know, don't worry he won't eat them... he likes his house cats! They are like Elle, Siamese but one is a grey oriental boy. They were born on the 1st November (day we won the world cup) so one will be getting some sort of rugby name :D they have to stay with their Mum for three months to get a good start in life so they won't be coming home till end of January. Can't wait... it has been too long without a cat! I have always had cats, moggies. My Simba and Nala died when Flynny first got sick, they were 17. I didn't get kittens there as I was on a busy road... but this new place is much more quiet and perfect for cats. Now to convince Flynny.....

Anyway, that's our news!! All good here xxxxxx

Kittens!:D:D. WOW, and TWO, :D:D:D:D

Oh how Flynny will love that. I cannot wait for pixes.

Lol the picture I had of our boy taking on a hedgehog. Kissing cows, fighting hedgehogs, our Flynn is very special. Are you sure about his age, he is a young whipper snapper, I think.

I'm pretty sure the dreaded November curse was banished last year.
As long as he doesn't decide to take on other critters we should be good. Quills in his mouth, omg, that boy!

Such a great report!!! :D:D

Love that Flynny Boy!!!:p

Video the kittens's arrival and post it for all of us to enjoy!! I hope Flynny doesn't think he has to chase the kittens out of the house/yard!!! :eek:lol

Awww, kittens are the best, but boy do they ever get into trouble. LOL
My Tipsy would get stuck at the top of curtains and couldn't get down, jump on tables and knock stuff over and break it. He was a total terror. Man I loved that little guy!

I'm sure you are going to be having many adventures coming your way with 2 of them!

Merry Christmas everyone... just popping in to say Hi... Flynn boy has had a fine day, opening his presents... he got one nice tasty dog biscuit, a new collar, tennis balls and a cuddly toy. Hot weather here so he hates that and likes sitting in the cool, but otherwise he has had a fantastic day playing out on the lawn with the kids. So I wish you and yours have the same... I put a photo of him opening his pressie in the album!
Love
Trish and Flynn xxxxx

Love the photo of Flynn! (as always) Wishing you and Flynn and the Family a very merry holiday season. :)

Hi and HAPPY NEW YEAR! OMG its half way through January and the easter eggs are out boohoo, just when i am going on a diet.

Anyway, time for Flynn news.... he is pretty good. Main problem is limp front leg that has been there for couple of years on and off. He also has this fluid full lump in that same area. We have had it drained a couple of times, over 100mL but it recurs over a few days. When it is flat you can feel a little lump at the base. Our vet thinks it is a blocked sweat gland. It has been there coming up 18months, so he doesn't think it is anything too nasty. Just annoying for the poor boy. I don't want a GA for him to remove, Mike thinks he can get it with a little local and sedation as it is quite superficial once the fluid is drained from the cyst. Still pondering that one.

He is drinking more, but boy has it been hot on occasion plus he has fish biscuits in his diet at moment and they always make him drink more. Don't want to think about kidney problem worsening, otherwise he is still fairly perky, can walk for 20 mins around the neighbourhood before i see him getting limpy. So all in all, pretty good for a nearly 15 year old superpup! Love him

One week today, the kittens arrive! I went and visited the breeder a couple of weeks ago, omg they are so beautiful, I will pop a pic in the album. I have named one Lozza, a wee seal point girl, that is after my niece who does great things with animal charities and the little blue oriental is Beaudy... after an All Black! They were born the day we won the World Cup so had to have a rugby name in there somewhere! I keep showing Flynny their pics, he not too interested :eek:
Love to all xxx

I cannot wait to see how the kittens and Flynny get on. I just have almost a movie of what I think it will be in going through my head.
Something like, eh she brought these things in the house.
Crap, are they ever going to leave! I know they are in here somewhere, I hear them, I smell them. They are tiny Elle's!!!! omg, kill me. Mom what have you done!!!!

Kittens and Flynny, life doesn't get much better than that, Trish.

I love that one is named after "our team":D:D:D

Kudos to our super pup, energizer puppy, boy Flynn! Pretty good update for our cow kissing Romeo!

Gosh, Trish, the time is flying by. How are your mom and dad? How are the new digs? Are you all settled in?

It has been so cold here, I have to carry Koko out, put him down, he quickly does his business and then I pick him up and run home. Soon it will be light when I leave work, so I hold on to that thought;)

Don't forget the kitten videos, we will all be waiting. Do they make teeny weeny All Black t shirts?
