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

Hi, thx everyone, I been tossing and turning. Still dark here, 4.50am. I keep coming up with more questions so must get up and write them down before I forget

It's a lot to get your head around.. Understandable you are tossing and turning.

Been thinking about you both all day

Supposed to be working but not in the mood xxxxx

Topping up the PAWS UP FLYNN thoughts all the way from Bonnie Scotland :p

I'm here too, and sending tons of positive energy your way.

Love and hugs, Lori

me too, Trish, I am keeping tabs from my I Phone

me too! I'm keeping tabs from work. I'll check in again during my lunch break.xxxx

I have thankfully finished work, it was rubbish but I am officially done for this day.

Nipping out to get some food to cook but I will be back again in a bit. Hope you can feel all this love and postive energy for you and Flynn.

Paws up wee man

Mel
Xxxxxx

Feel the love :):):)

I'm here too Trish, checking in on my lunch. Hugs to you and the Little Man. :)

Tina and Jasper xo

HI, well we up! Beautiful sunny day here in Auckland. Flynn is mopey, just walking about and not trotting or anything.

I have to have him there by 10am, which is 2 hrs away. My friends have just left for work so I am going to take him in, with my new list of questions from night time thinking too much :)

So surgery is at least 6 hrs away so you all do not have to wait up for that!! But will get confirmed time when I drop him in. The vet hospital is about 20-30 mins away depending on traffic, at least today I know where I am going and won't be fighting rush hour traffic.

Thanks for all the love, we can feel it for sure xxx

So still an hour or so to go till you can leave

Flynn has probably twigged something is going on!

He is not happy that is for sure, itchy again too. The IMS talked about giving him Prednisone for that yesterday. Will see how he goes afterwards I guess. But two mornings in a row of not getting breakfast is a bit much for my Flynn!!

That sucks. Not long now...

I'm checking in and will be checking in more once I get home. I figure we all have a long night ahead of us, but not nearly as long as it will seem to you Trish.

We are here because we want to be. :) You know how we are. The rule is, no one waits alone. Ever! So, tada!

Poor guy. His schedule is out of wack, he hasn't had breakfast now for two days, what on earth is wrong with him mum! She drives him some where far far away, (6 hours if forever in dog land), then doesn't give him his breakies!!
But does provide new playmates. Crazy mums!

:)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I did laugh when I read all your comments on his cow kissing photo, he was so funny with it. Not scared at all, I put the pic on facebook and Mum said Flynn must have been looking for any crumbs around his mouth or else checking to see how rare he would like his meat :eek::eek:

I am not on my own, well I am for a few hours while my friends are at work but they have told me if I need them to call and they will come home.

Flynn is such a character, I couldn't believe he got so close!

Right, we are ready. I just packed his little bag, 1 mat, 1 blankie, 1 toy... OK Leslie and Tina, that got me going :(. He is following me everywhere... I hope I am doing the right thing and I am not leading him to his death because he would follow me there too :( ... back in an hour or two xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lunch break checkin.... I refused to leave my room for lunch. Must check in on my friends. :p

You are never alone Trish. you have all of us right by you side. Feel the love and healing energy. We are there!:)

On behalf of my boy Flynny, I wish to voice a formal complaint about skipping breakfast two days in a row. That is totally unacceptable! 6 hour car rides and now this! :eek: Okay Flynny, don't worry, Auntie Kathy is going to fix this!;)

We're all here for the duration Trish. You couldn't get rid of us if you tried. (((((HUGS)))))

Right beside you, Trish, all the way. Prayers rising for all, healing energies flying. All fingers, toes, and paws crossed. Candles lit.

Many hugs and belly rubs,
Leslie and the gang

Paws ^^Up^^ Flynn!

I'm here, too. Ohhhhhhh, I understand how that must have felt packing his things to take in. :o

Brave wee soul, and brave mom! As hard as it is, I would be making the same decision if I were you since you are giving your boy his best possible chance.

More healing energy flowing your way.

I knew that feeling, packing Zoe up last February.

Deep breath, shoulders back, head up.


you never walk alone.


PAWS up Flynny

There is nothing worse than having to leave them

Am here with you

Big tight hug for you xxxx

It's the hard part now, dropping him off and waiting. Glad your friends are with you. Of course Flynn is totally aware something's going on, he's a smart boy, we all know that.
We're all here, sending out a lot of positive energy which is catching a current straight to Auckland!!


^^ Flynn^^ paws up!!

He is all settled in, well as settled in as he can be in a cage! The nurses were lovely and told me to set up his bed just how he likes it and all his stuff was allowed including his toy. There is a row of two cages stacked on top of each other, he is on the top. There is a border collie underneath him and three other dogs were there, one carried in after his just completed surgery while we were there. I did not stay too long, just to get him in... he kept poking his head out the bit we had to close so we had to poke his ears in so they did not get jammed :eek: He got my secret little message and a quick goodbye before I lost it. The nurse looked after him yesterday while he was there for his scan and she said he settled really quickly and was a very good boy.

Still no definite time for surgery, she estimating early to mid afternoon depending on how long the surgeries before Flynn take, surgeon was operating and I could not speak to him but I did see Mike IMS and he answered my remaining questions. I said I need to know actual time so they will call.

Just forced myself to have some toast, as feeling bit yuck.

Thanks for all your messages, you all continue to astound me with your love and support. Marianne, that means a lot saying you would do the same thing so thank you x

Let the waiting begin xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Least he got to keep his toy, something familiar as well as his blanket

You won't be by yourself waiting we will try and keep you occupied

Your mum and dad doing ok today?

Yes, it is so hard to leave them in those cages, but at least Flynny got to keep his Blankey and toy. Small comforts from home always help us feel better.

I am glad you managed to eat a little toast Trish. As I recall, you were mama Trish, when I wasn't eating.

I will be checking in throughout the day and night until I hear how it all went. Hey, I gave up my lunch break, so this is nothing.;) We of course will all be with you during that time, but I'd love to be able sit there and wait with you in person.

PAWS UP FLYNNY BOY! We all love you and your mom! Xxxx

Good thing I brought my cell phone charger. Did they say how long the actual surgery would be?
I get to go home in 40 minutes so at least I can type easier from there. I keep sneaking in to type.

I'll probably sign off as usual but will be peeking in to check on Flynn and will keep you both in my thoughts whether online or not.

I rang them Mel after I dropped him in, they sound ok just worried for their little Flynnikin. I am keeping them posted as I hear things.

Haha yes Kathy, I was the food police... so good thing I am taking my own advice :) Least your only 3 hrs ahead of me, well and a day behind so time difference not too bad for you but Mel it is getting up to midnight where you are, probably be hearing when you wake up so you won't be missing much :)

Addy, the nurse said a few hours :eek::eek: I hope not, she quickly said but that includes clipping him, anaesthetic, recovery etc etc... I clean forgot to ask the surgeon that yesterday. So that's not much help.

Aww, big hugs Trish, I know how incredibly hard it is to leave him. Checking in from work real quick, I will probably be here for a while yet but will check again as soon as I get home. Milk with carnation instant breakfast or something similar works really well to keep your stomach settled when you can't eat. :) Yes, that is so reassuring to read that Marianne would do the same thing. Lots of love and positive energy heading South. Gentle hugs Flynny boy. xo

Thanks Leslie, your a darling xx

Okay guys, who brought the chocolate? :D

Eaten it all last night Kathy.... bummer. Probably a good thing.

Hi Tina, hope your coping alright today on little sleep you must be dead on your feet... see you when you get home later. x

So I wonder if he is 3 or 4 in the surgery schedule. Hoping he is fast asleep right now while he waits

I wake up quite a few times still, throwback to needing to take Tia out so no matter what the time is here, I will be refreshing the page when I wake to check for the latest xxxx

I just finished my last bit, caburys popping candy one is tasty

Oh me, me, me, me <waving WILDLY!!!!!!>

I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, west coast crew -- you've got the time advantage on us easterners. So just keep poking us (and feeding us more chocolate, OK???) :cool: :)

Will do Marianne. I will use my pointer stick from work to poke all of you sleepyheads. It certainly doesn't help me all that much at work. ;)
I just went on and emergency chocolate run since most of you were out and that just wouldn't do. We now have white, dark and milk chocolate. Take your pick ladies! :D

He is last, whatever number he is in the queue. I guess I should thank my lucky stars the surgeon was able to squeeze him in at such short notice.

Mel, I Love that popping candy Cadbury chocolate... is that the one with jubes in it too?? Kind of in funny shapes??

What sort have you got Marianne?

Hmm I remember when I was in California eating butterfingers, I liked those plus a white box of chocolates... hmmmm think it might have been called See's Chocolate? Pretty darn tasty there were too :)

Yes, got to love See's Candy. I like the nuts and chews the best! :D

Yes, best to get it out sooner rather than later

Yep, it hasn't been out here long and is rather tasty. I am also partial to dark chocolate :D

Oh See's Candy is the best!! (I'll bet you got some of that for us, Kathy!). You can only get it here in Atlanta at Christmas (special holiday pushcarts in the mall). But you lucky California Girls can get in anytime!

Truth be told, I just have leftover Halloween candy :o. But it's still pretty tasty: Baby Ruth bars, Milky Ways, and Snickers. Mel, Cadbury's is really good, too, though. Do they still do those caramel-filled Rolos, or did they maybe sell those off to somebody else here in the States...? Yum, caramel and chocolate -- now that is a perfect marriage. :)
