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

Sharlene, not quite sure about the ins and outs of mistletoe, will ask her today if we catch up. I have had a patient with a nasty renal tumour go on it, seems to me like it cost a shed load of money and did not change the outcome at all, unfortunately.

You guys are so funny. I always end up with a huge smile on my face reading the chat.
You know what we need is everyone to have a big skype conference call or however that works. Can't you just hear everyone nattering away at the same time. ROFL! Cracking myself up.

Daughters absolutely have that right it is given to us by right of birth! LOL My mom use to call me, even when I was across the country and say "Sharlene you need to talk to your father, he is doing blah blah blah" (usually add an "again" to that). hahaha gosh I miss that kind of thing.

If he sweeps the leaves, won't Flynn be obligated to go jump in them?

I bet you are right Mel and he is tired of the restrictions.

kathy, you okay?

Sharlene

Kathy come back...

I would be so scared. They have so many fault lines in those parts but I couldn't see myself being ok with them!

So strange how they still haven't found the plane or any of the wreckage yet, must be horrendous for their poor families, I hope every day they will get some news and still nothing.

Sharlene (as a mod :D) can you make us a chat room attached to the forum?? Be real nice to have to chat at times, seems we do not all get on very often at the same time but is fun and nice to have some light relief once in a while!!

Kathy probably didn't feel the quake down in her area, my sister is north of it, while Kathy is south of LA and my sis didn't feel it. My niece sure did though as she is in LA and she called her mom this morning saying she was having a case of the nerves.

Oh I hate things that are expensive and don't do the trick. Still there must be some reason that it is even recommended. Interesting.

Oh that does sound perfect! Whales and dolphins in the bay. We use to go to a place up in northern Quebec, on the fjord and the whales would come in there. Was wonderful place. Haven't been there in years but I love to go whale watching, such majestic creatures.

Sharlene

They are a part of life really, I used to be like Kathy and not even notice the little shakes but since Christchurch I have a new healthy respect for them and find they bother me way more... I remember when I was young and there was quite a big one and my brother got up on his bed like he was riding a horse and shouted "ride em cowboy!" at the top of his lungs

That is very weird about the plane. I agree Mel. I have followed a few of the aviation forums, but they are all guessing too.
The families I'm sure are just devastated. :(

Sharlene

Trish that sounds perfect and it is just what we all need, do you think he would mind if we all gate grashed his family holiday :)

Yes Sharlene that would be funny, I will say one thing I can come on here feeling miserable and come back off laughing so its a good place to be :D

A chat room would be nice, do they still have them these days?

A few engineers that I used to work with came from SA and they always described it as a beautiful place. I would love to go to sleep with that sound.

Aren,t they saying they found debris of the plane near Perth in Australia and are sending ships out to confirm it. It is a really weird one.

They have said lots of different objects could be it a and have been spotted but nothing has been confirmed. They keep moving the search location.

Yes they have, a NZ Orion has found quite a few bits and then a Chinese plane has found some with the Malaysian colours on them. so it certainly sounds like they are getting closer. Not confirmed yet in the article I read earlier. Ships are on their way to hopefully find them and pick them up, lots of red herrings in this case though so I hope those poor families get some definite news and closure, must be horrific all this waiting and false leads

So really they have no clue, its so sad for the relatives and the people on board. :(

I don't think they can actually say anything is confirmed from the plane till it's picked up and a part number (every part on a plane has a number) shows that it is actually from that plane. There is a lot of debrie in the oceans, and the last two typhons in the Indian ocean added to all the stuff floating around from what I've read. :( Makes it difficult.

I do hope they find something confirmed soon though, so all the conspiracy theories and wild ideas can be laid to rest and the families at least have some sort of closure of where their loved ones are. :(

Sharlene

Ha ha I,ve just looked over at Mac and he is lying with his butt and back legs up the back of the sofa and his head hanging off, looks so uncomfy but he is snoring :eek:

Bless him, they make me laugh the way they contort in to these positions and some how seem so comfy and peaceful.

Your not getting too attached are you Tracy? Might not want to give him back?? Is it ok with him there, are you thinking any more seriously about getting a pup? Any potential candidates we can check out?

An Admin would have to do that Trish. I've never seen the option anywhere on here to add a chat.

There are outside chat areas, but might be more of a pain. hmm..here is a thought. There is one place that is easy and all you need is the url. It seems to be temporarily disabled at the moment though.
It's actually for work collaboration on a document but also has a chat window and you can leave notes for anyone who comes in later to read, etc

sharlene

Oh well, just a thought!! Maybe something for the wish list if they every reconfigure anything :D

No not getting too attached well I don,t think I am :confused: He is a lovely little dog but he,s not mine so although I can play and let him snuggle on my lap I don,t love him like he,s mine if you know what I mean.

I would have a dog tomorrow, but I don,t know sometimes I,m desperate for another and some days I,m not. I think just now it would be like a band aid dog just to plaster over my grief. I keep comparing Mac to Woody and that's so wrong and wonder if I would do that with a new dog I don,t know. I look most days but apart from the little pup nothing has caught my eye. But at least I am more settled having Mac here this time as the last time I could barely look at him (not his fault) it was just to close to losing Woods.

Well that is understandable to feel "off" when it was so recent to Woody's passing. :( That makes sense actually, the nerves were a bit raw.

Molly is huffing and puffing behind me so I have to go give her some attention. :) otherwise she is likely to blow the house down!!!!

Sharlene

I think that you will know when you see the pup which is yours. It's good you feel better about having him around this time as nothing does beat doggie snuggles. He isn't Woody and no pup will ever replace him but your heart will be open for another pal x

Yes, we are all ready in our own time. But at least little Mac has helped you, bless his little cotton socks. I have no idea what I would do in this situation, I thought I would have to get two to keep each company as I don't think I could inflict two new dogs on Mum and Dad. They have their routine with Flynn and he is placid, hate to think how they would manage with two pups. But like you I would get rescue dogs if possible. Or maybe a dog and a kitten. Who knows, until you are in that situation... just have to do what feels right at the time. x

Hehe, you have enough bad weather threatening to blow your house down Sharlene without Miss Molly getting in on the act!! Give her a kiss from Flynnikin!

Flynn is on the new throw :rolleyes: did not even take him till tonight like I predicted! But he thinks, what is mine is his... but what is his is HIS!! lol love him so :D

pffft, turns out as soon as I turned around she ran to the kitchen in front of the drawer where the denta stix are kept and that was what she wanted.
that little miss.
Awww, licks from molly to flynnman

What a little monkey, Boyce does the same all blankets are his, Tia did too. Like you say good job we love them so :D

Oh yea, new throw, that is so Flynn's LOL

I agree, don't rush it Tracy, when it feels right it will be right.

Flynn and Boysie have the right idea, what comes into there house is theirs Simples :D and I,m sure you wouldn,t have it any other way.

Ah Molly wanting a treat such a diva lol

I just put a new pic up of what I found after coming in from doing the washing.. Flynn and the new throw lol

Oh my Trish how cute does he look, I,m sure he gets more handsome as he gets older. He looks so relaxed, looks like you may need to buy yourself a new throw :D

Do you think his tummy looks big, maybe just the way he is lying. I have palpated it and cannot feel liver... :eek:

Just had another look, I don,t think it looks big, he is curled up a bit so can,t get a real look at it. I,m sure his liver is there :eek:

I compared his pictures looks the same to me

Am sure you are on edge cause of the recent results. He seems ok I himself doesn't he?

Yes, he is good. Perhaps a bit bored! Going to give him a shower soon so he can dry off in the sun. He is due his flea treatment (conformis pill) just a bit loathe to give him while liver is acting up, but don't want him to go back to itching from any flea allergy either... ohhhh what to do?! I wonder if other people get so silly about dogs!

My friend just txt and wants a rain check on our play date :( So that's off, my sister just rang and she wants a hand to take a bbq from Mum and Dad's to her house so will do that when I go check them later on.

Surely the water torture is enough for one day. He will not be your friend after that!! How often is he supposed to have it? Could you stretch it out till he is off the pred?

Yeah I,m with Mel on this one Trish, you are in a catch 22 situation, but if you could stretch it out that would be better. As he is still on the pred it would take care of any allergies.

Thanks girls, I will hold off. I have seen him itching a couple of times today. Just don't want to go back to where we were with the scratching. You can see in that pic his tum is still a little red, and the brown edge to his white fur is from licking. I never knew that licking made it go brown, but when I mentioned it to Mike that is indeed what he said.

I think I will be blardy nervous in April going for the scan to see what his liver looks like :eek: if that is OK then I will be a happy camper!

We will all be happy campers, but I have every faith that it will be fine :D

Me too, good scans in April only Flynn!

Well it's 12:30 here now so I better think about bed, got to do the Mother's Day visit tomorrow as well. So nice to catch up with you both. Enjoy the rest of your day Trish.

Hope Mac doesn't wake up even earlier today Tracy.

Catch you both soon
Big hugs to you scratches to the boys

Love
Mel
