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

I'm so sorry for your loss...sending prayers and hugs.

he sure was our special forum wonderdog!

I'm so sorry for your loss, your Flynn sure was loved. Take care.

So sorry for the loss of your sweet Flynn. You both are very special to this forum. Thoughts and prayers. Brianna

Thank you everyone. It sure has been a hard day and night :( I love your memories of him as the spunky little fighter he was. He has had such a great life, full of fun and family. He was rarely ever left alone after staying with my Mum and Dad while I was at work or away, he had two homes so my parents are devastated with his sudden exit... :(

That is was so fast in the end was a shock to us all, Flynny had loads of friends family who loved him. He was one special dog, and in a way I am glad it was fast like that. He did not suffer, he did not deserve to suffer. His life was full on and he went out with a bang too.

I am so lucky I have no regrets, he has had excellent vet care all the way through. Our Mike deserves a medal for putting up with me all these years, cos it would be fair to say I am pretty high maintenance where Flynn was concerned. But his caring nature and tears in his eyes and kissing of Flynny while I was holding him at the end will last long in my memory. He said of all the times Flynn has been in to see him, this was the first time he ever saw his eyes dulling and when I said you gotta fix him, you always do he was straight up with me. Said we could keep him going a bit longer but with his kidney issues we would always be battling against it, but left the final decision to me. I chose to let the Flynnman go off to explore the next chapter with our love going with him. If I had to make all the decisions about his care again, I would do exactly the same.

Love my little man to bits, the house feels so empty this first new day. Even with two little kitten rockets tearing about. Jeepers, yesterday Beaudy the wee blue disappeared, did not see him after 9am... it was getting dark last night so was super worried two pets gone in one day :eek::( I had wanted some alone time yesterday and had asked my friends not to come over... but when I said to them he missing... they were like blardy hell, on our way. So 3 of them turned up, up and down the street, calling at houses to look in their sheds, no sign of him. I was getting pretty desparate by then, then one of them found him trapped in my car!! He must have jumped in when Flynny came home from the vets, he never done that before. So relieved, they both snuggled up to me all night.

Anyway I am prattling, but thanks again for your messages it means a lot to me xxxxxxx

I am so sorry for your loss.

I don't know sometimes how we go on when we lose something/someone who is so close to us, every single minute of our lives for years. It leaves the hugest hole possible that is now filled with silence and it's not a peaceful silence, it is the most horrible non sound in the entire world. I hate that silence.

You did everything and I do mean everything possible for Flynn and he had every chance a dog could have but when the body goes, it just goes. I know you don't second guess any of your decisions because I have seen how you researched every decision exhaustively before they were made. You are an A researcher.

We do have some fabulous researchers on this forum!

Really think you might be going to miss some of those cute vets too. ;)

It is how fast it happened that scares me. We where just talking about him having another lipoma removed and then suddenly bham, the lipoma was the least of the worries.
It certainly makes one realize how precious every minute of the day we spend with our furry friends really is. Their lives are so short compared to ours that it will never feel fair to lose them when we aren't ready for it and how can any of us ever be ready for it anyway.

Okay, now I am prattling. :p

Well Trish, I'm finally able to come back with some thoughts in mind and some words I want to write. I was just so shocked and sad before, I could not even think.

First off, you and Flynn have been such a joy to our family here. You have been such a help and support, and Flynn has been an inspiration to us all. I was talking about this with Sharlene earlier, and I said that the first two words that pop into my head when I think of your life together with Flynn are entertaining and inspirational. They may seem like goofy words to pick, but I have always so loved reading about all your friends and family and travels and adventures with Flynn (and yes, I remember Dr. McDreamy!). I couldn't wait to find out what you'd been up to next. And Flynn -- our inspiration -- such an enormous spirit packed into the body of a little dog! Like you, I am so relieved that he did not linger and that the path forward was clear. But there is now such a huge hole left behind for his family here at K9C, as well.

I can only imagine how hard this is for your mum and dad, too. The bonds they shared with Flynn were so strong and dear. My heart goes out to them, too.

Thank goodness you have the kittens. And Trish, thank goodness for sharing Flynn with us throughout all these years. There will never be another quite like our brave, cheeky, lovely boy.

Sending my thoughts and hugs across the miles,
Marianne

Oh Trish,

I apologize for not posting sooner, I was trying to find the right words to say to you, and they still escape me. I am so terribly sorry for your loss, Flynn sure was a special boy and I know how much you love and will miss him, and we do too.

I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, and know that we are here for you always.

With Heartfelt Sympathy, Lori

Trish, hi.

I'm sorry for your loss of Flynn. Kidney disease is terrible. I lost one of my childhood dogs and my first cat to it. Kidney failure is tough to fight and definitely hard on our critters.

It's nice that you were able to give Flynn a last walk on the beach and to spoil him with treats. This will become a special memory.

I'm fairly new here and so haven't read about Flynn since the start. From everyone's post though I can tell what a champion he was. He'll be missed. Hugs!
