Well, I missed all the welcome kitten news, sorry about that but I have a good excuse.
Glad to hear our wonder boy is on the mend, Trish, and is adjusting to his new roomies! How precious the three must be and I laughed so hard to read Flynny waiting for the kitten to come out from under the bed,
Lucky you have meowternity leave,:)
Off to see the pictures. I've been Mia, we put an offer in on a condo down the street:eek::rolleyes:

So much for popping in more often, my 3 weeks off have flown by and back to work on Monday. Has been a fun time, the kittens are on free range through the house now, gosh they are a handful but loads of entertainment especially for Flynn. Flynny has accepted them and while he keeps an eye on them he is not stalking them with his death eye stare anymore. One of the kittens, Beaudy is a real livewire, I am in the midst of bathroom renovations and I was showing my sister the progress and he dived straight through a hole in the floor and disappeared under the house :eek::eek: panic stations but we got him out thank goodness. That boy is Trouble! Once they are bigger they will be allowed outside when I am home, but they too small so they are just having supervised time outside for now, but they breaking their necks to get out into the sunshine:)
Flynn has had his staples out of his wound and it is healing really well with no sign of recurrence, so pleased about that. Good to know he can have the sedation and local anaesthetic with minimal affect to him if we have any other small things that need addressing. The kittens have given him some excitement back in his life to and he has been real perky since their arrival and getting that big lump removed. So pleased to see it in him :)
So all good here xxxx

So good to hear about Flynn recovering well from the surgery and being all perky with the kitties. What a time you will have with those two little ones in the house!
I remember when Tipsy got stuck at the top of the curtains and he'd meow and meow till someone came to get him down. Funny little guy he was and knocked everything of tables, and any where else he could get to. Loved him bunches!

Holy Cow, page 9!! Man I am bad and been away to0 long. So time for an update :)
First Flynny boy.... he is still doing what a Flynn dog does best, enjoying his days, going for walks, hanging out with his Nan and Grandad when I go to work, eating and snoozing :D Slowing up of course, but so would I if I was his age... he was meant to go get another blardy lipoma off yesterday, just with the local and sedation. It is affecting his walking. BUT my car decided to blow its transmission this week and I need all available funds to get it out the shop so his procedure is on hold for a month. He is happy about that :D He likes the kittens, especially Beaudy the little blue love bug. Beaudy just won't take any notice of Flynny when he says push off you little furry shite, he just goes in for the big snuggle up and walks under Flynns legs. Flynn has surprisingly been super good with them, I have just added a funny picture of him telling them off when they rolling around the bed wrestling. :) Also another couple of the kittens in there.
They have actually given Flynny a new lease on life, they are 6 months old already and have fitted in our little household like they been here forever, love them!
Loving the new house too, moving was good been doing reno's and the bathroom is finished now. The outside is perfect for Flynn and perfect for kittens. So I am a happy camper and hope you are all doing well too xxxxxxxxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Cars can be such a painful necessity. Ugh about the transmission.
Good to hear Flynny is enjoying the kittens. He is our energizer bunny dog.:D:D They must keep him busy which is a good thing. Koko loved the neighbors cat, who is still running to the window looking for Koko every night.
I hope your dad is doing well and mum too. Lucky Flynny still gets to spend the day with them, I love that.
Bathroom Reno sounds fun. I love before and after pictures. Our condo changed so just from removing wallpaper, new paint and carpet. Now if we can only find new appliances!
Take care, Trish. So glad you popped in with an update.
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hi Trish,
A wonderful report, except for that dreaded transmission! Dang cars anyway!!!
So glad to hear that you and your little zoo are humming along. :p That Flynny boy is beyond amazing and such an inspiration to us all. We all could learn a lesson or two from our energizer doggy.
I hope your Mom and Dad are doing well also.
Let's get serious for a moment........ OMG Page 9, Get in together girl!!!!! Lol
XXXOOOO

Who would have though you and Flynn would Ever be on page 9!!! shocking I say!
He really is a super trooper Flynn-man. I'm sure the kitties are real delight. They must keep you giggling and saying..Awwwwww Cute or up to something no good and hilarious, that is the only two stages our furbabies have. :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I have sad news. Flynn my darling superdog passed away peacefully in my arms this morning.
His kidneys are what got him in the end, he started going downhill two weeks ago today. Just slowly, refusing food here, drinking a ton there, wanting out to pee at night last night several times, couple wet beds which he was horrified at, then wobbly walking, diarrhea and twitching. We did bloods a couple of weeks ago which showed BUN and Cr on the rise. We all hoped he would perk back up, jiggled his meds and diet but over the long weekend he just kept declining. I just could not let him suffer and he is such a brave boy he would have gone on a bit longer I am sure but it was not the "dog life" he loved and I could tell he was ready. I had some of my best friends staying for the long weekend and we loved on him and he was spoilt rotten.
So after a way bad blood test this morning, there was no denying it anymore. Mike came up to the house and we did it here and he gently went to sleep with my silent tears and love going with him. He had a little walk at the beach yesterday and for one brief period last night he wanted some food so I gave him chicken, ham and beef :) all things he has not been allowed on his restricted diet... he loved it.
Thank you for all the love and support, especially you Tracy and Sharlene I could not have got through today without you both... you have been with me every step of the way and are my guardian angels. I love you both. We have decided Woody and Flynn are off on a jaunt all ready into mischief and happy as larks and that is how I will remember him xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
The little super dog is gone but not forgotton. It was a pleasure to have known him. I am so sorry Trish but you were strong for him until the very end.
I was just repaying the favour you were my guardian angel when Woody was sick and left so it was my turn to be strong for you. I'm so glad that Woody and Flynn brought us together and now they are on a jaunt now don't want to scare you but that could be double trouble right there.
Flynn don't worry we will look after your mum at this sad time, now not to many parties with Woody x
