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

Hey Trish and Mel, game face on for work, come back here after, let it out, stinks really, but no other way.

Anger normal,

Slow slimmer rage sometimes.

Wish we were all Peter Pan.

I remember when I was desperately trying to find a cool mat locally for Buddy because he was miserable. About a week after her flew my local outlet store had dozens of them. I was FURIOUS!!! :mad::mad: I bought one anyway. Rosie won't touch it, so I use myself when it gets hot. Put it under a sheet. It does work..

Anger - normal stage of grief;)

Hope you got on ok today

I am about to leave would rather not but have to pay bills. Will come back later xxxx

Oh drats I missed you, just got in. Today was not too bad for first part. Was working in a clinic I only visit once a month so they didn't know and I didn't tell them. So all was fine till I got back to my main workplace about 2ish, then there were hugs and a few tears. One of the other girls had her elderly cat put down last week so she was a mess when she saw me. So sad. They had left me cards too, was lovely they cared. My boss rang me to see how I was, I took the 4 days off after Flynny died. She said that's not to be annual leave or sick leave, she gave me Special leave which is at managers discretion, so nice to have Flynny recognised as special because he sure as heck was! So all in all wasn't too traumatic. Called in to Mum and Dads for tea to keep some our routines going, they doing ok. Hope your day is not to hideous xx

How wonderful your boss gave you Special leave. :)

Oh Trish I haven't been on the forum in ages and just saw you lost Flynn on the 6th. I lost Amanda the 7th. Similar situation, sudden but steady decline and she told me she was ready. She had developed fluid in her belly and. We were removing it every 10 days. Found medication to improve the right sided heart failure but it over loaded left side so fluid was building up in her lungs too. We could not balance the heart failure. Amanda always loved her Vetmedin chewable and she suddenly refused it. Kept spitting it out no matter what I did. We were at the vet for X-rays and to tap, her belly and she started licking and kissing me like crazy. X-rays were bad. I talked to her and we went outside and she was very wobbly and I knew she was telling me to let her go. She settled on my chest, her favorite spot and gave me some more kisses and then tucked her little face into my shoulder. In two seconds she was gone, peacefully slipped away. I think Amanda like Flynn, hung on for us, waiting until we could let them go away to fly away free and healthy again. It's very lonely and I miss her every moment as I know you do Flynn. I am so sorry for your loss. You did so much for him, gave him such a happy life for a very long time. What a beautiful love story! I will hold you close in my heart Trish! our kids are at peace and they were so so loved! Hugs always, Claire

Hi all ... oh Claire doesn't it just suck. Amanda was such a gorgeous girl and a fighter too, I am glad it was fast for you all... i really think it is better that way with no suffering for them. People always said I would realise when the time came and I sure did and it sounds similar for you. Your dogs have all been lucky to have your as their Mama but I agree, the house is very silent right now.

I thought I was doing good today, then I got home and checked the letterbox. Only one letter today, Flynn's dog registration paperwork for the new year... telling me all the places I could walk him on or off leash around town :(:(:( god that was bad timing to receive on his one week anniversary today... stink! But life trundles on eh and we just have to deal with these nasty reminders when they pop up ... x

I hope today goes better, no surprises that are upsetting.

Mel, too, I hope you have an easier day.

It all just stinks, of course, trying to put the brave face on when you really just want to mourn.

Just wanted to send hugs and bump Flynn's thread up to the top.
Like seeing it there in honor of him.

Hi Trish,

Came to check in on you, so glad to see that your return to work went ok. How nice of your manager to allow that special leave and you were able to have a few days off. I only have a moment before heading to work, but wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and Flynn. Sending love and big hugs. xo

Work is so busy after my week off which is good thing for me to keep busy, no more nasty surprises but expecting his final bill any day. Would keep paying vet bills for life if it meant he was here happy and healthy but he wasn't so he's in the best place ever now playing, eating everything he loved, bacon and chicken for breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks! Xx
