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

awwwww, Zoe likes to try to remove the squeaker too. I am sad you cannot find a puzzle toy. I would send you one, I could parcel post it I bet. I have an extra one in a box I would love Flynnie to have:D:D:D:D I can picture him banging it on the floor like Zoe:D:D
Probably, he will solve it without throwing it around.:D:D
He is a good boy, our Flynn.:):):):):)


sometimes it sure does rain and pour though, literally. We finally saw the sun today, at least I think it was the sun, hard to remember wha it looks like:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I hope your mum and dad are okay. How is Flynn's tummy?

HI Addy
Mum and Dad doing OK, I went around yesterday and spent a bit of time with them. Mum has to have a holter monitor at some stage to check her heart rates, we will probably get Dad's CT results this week. I am debating whether to go into work tomorrow, I am not officially due back until Wednesday, but seems a waste to take the extra two days leave when I won't be doing anything. We have a public holiday on Thursday anyway for ANZAC day, it is a holiday I guess like your remembrance day for Australia and New Zealand troops. So it will be a short week anyway. So think I will go in.

Flynny's tummy not too bad, soft poop yesterday. He is doing the lip smacking a bit, bows his head sometimes. I have given him a losec this morning as they seem to help. It is kinda weird, he will be fine for a few weeks then it seems to bother him for a couple of weeks. He has not vomited since before I went away so a good couple of weeks. Eating and drinking fine. I had put him back on GI biscuits before I went away but it has not totally settled yet.

He caught a mouse yesterday, well I think it must have been him. I found a dead one in the rain! He has been hunting about in the bushes a lot lately, as we have been in drought I had heard mice were getting closer to houses looking for water :eek::eek::eek: I need to get a cat!!! But Flynn seems to be up for the job :D:D:D Hopefully this rain will make them move back away from the house back to the fields that are close by. Certainly do not want to put any mouse killing bait about as that lethal for pets.

Hope Zoe's skin problems settle pronto... has she had any antibiotics lately that could set it off? I was wondering about the metronidazole causing it?

She's been on metronidazole for 2.5 years and it never caused yeast before but who knows. ;);) She has been so out of whack the last few months. She gets a probiotic every day.

The iodine did take alot of it off, so I'll do it again tomorrow and give her a bath.

Mouse catcher Flynn, ha I bet he would give a kitty a run for the money catching mice. We get them in the winter, the cold drives them inside. Right now we must have a lot of bunnies even though I dont seem them much because I am forever seeing bunny poo and the dogs think they are cocktail peanuts:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hey Trish,

Glad Mum and Dad are doing ok at least and than Flynn is getting some walks up the beach still. Weather here is cooling down finally, we've even had rain in the last week for the first time in what seems like months! So I'm guessing the beaches over there will start to get a bit wild and woolly before too long.

As for the squeaky toys, you'll have to time him for me :D Fraser gave up his destructive days years ago (thank god) so now has an overflowing laundry basket full of toys, but my sister's dog, a Lhagotto can kill a squeaky in under 5 seconds flat! A new tennis ball might last 2-3 minutes before splitting in two, and a stuffed toy will become snow in about the same amount of time :eek: Needless to say, she has beautifully strong teeth though. little terror! She's two! Some long expensive years of dog toys ahead there! I'd forgotten how easy my boys were until she came along :D

Dear God, thats disgusting.. cocktail peanuts :D:D!! Flynn has never been a poop eater, unless he gets some horse poop, he liked that, he gobbled it, nearly made me throw up. But he sure is a poop roller.... ugh!

HI Naomi

I had never heard of your sister's dog breed before, so I googled them. Is that what they look like, how cute!!! I want one :D

I am going to force myself to get dressed soon and take him for a walk up the beach, the surf is high as I can hear it from here. Has been for the past few days. It is flooding up north, actually I just thought it is where Angela lives, so hope her and Flynn are ok and not getting soggy!

Yep that's them! Super cute. They are Italian Truffle Dogs - noses on them like someone just got a blob of clay and threw it. They are huge, but super cute. They have wool, so no shedding, no known susceptibility to particular diseases or defects either and way to smart for their own good. And as you may guess, not particularly common over here. Though fairly well known in Europe apparently.

Trish, I am just getting caught up on things, and am so sorry to read about your Mom, having to cut your trip short, your lost bag, etc. How stressful!!! :eek: But I am very relieved to read that your Mom is home and that both your parents and Flynn are doing ok for the time being. Gosh, I feel like we are kindred spirits or something, as both my Mom and Grandmother ended up in the hospital in the past couple of weeks! That is why I haven't been on the forum as much lately. My Mom lives out of state so that was pretty stressful, but thankfully my brother lives near her. And I was not away on a conference like you were so didn't have to deal with all of that!!

Ok, I have to mention that Jasper thinks that rabbit poo is a delicacy. :eek: :eek: :eek: So incredibly disgusting. I have the yard barricaded to the hilt, so it keeps the critters out for the most part, but occasionally a little one will squeeze through and of course has to leave some pellets. He can zero in on them at 100 yards, I swear!! I have had to be pretty creative with my barricading to keep the bunnies out. Jasper has ended up with a parasite twice in the past due to this little snack. I worry about it lots more now that he has all these other issues, so will need to inspect all my barricades soon.

Just trying to get caught up on everyone, sheesh, there is a lot to read! I will need to update on Jasper's thread in the morning, gonna head to bed now. Thanks for checking in on my boy.

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Molly thinks rabbit poop is a pretty good thing too and I have to double check the yard before I let her near it if I know the rabbits have been out and about. At least in winter you can see the little buggers and I can get to them before she does, but when they are hidden in the grass, ugh, it's a time of it. The race is between me and her as to who will find them first! A funny sight for the neighbors I'm sure, as her and both go around searching through grass and dirt. :D:D
I am enternally thankful that there isn't any horse poop in my back yard. Molly would either roll in it or eat it I'm sure. :eek:

They do keep us on our toes don't they!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hey there nice to see you too :D

How is everyone at home? Flynny behaving himself?

Big hug

Mel
