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

Goodness no wonder you remember it.

Yes it does seem fishy and very coincidental with new people coming in. Why did they sell? Were they losing money? I bet he won't be cracking so many jokes this week :eek:

Tina, I am waiting patiently for my Jasper update *hint hint* :D:p

It was a family owned business and the owners are 83 yrs old now, so he sold the one I work in along with the 2 others that he owns one is a distillery and one is like the one I work in which is called a bottling plant. His son is still part owner or has shares in it, he is the finance director, all 3 sold for 247 million pounds so its big business as its exported all over the world. No I don,t think he,ll be laughing when the total bill comes in :eek:

I know Trish, I am such a slacker with getting it posted. I have started it in my notes app so I can get it all straight there and won't risk losing my post!

I think I have been stalling a bit getting it typed out because my vet said some discouraging things about his last labwork. It was just a bit of a reality check which I guess I didn't feel like hearing. I have been working on regrouping and trying to focus on the positive again. :o

I will try to get it posted later tonight. ;)

OK good, well we both well know about discouraging labs, but we have to keep on believing they will bounce around. As they do, I am also dreading the next round of bloods. I so hope the LFTs are improved. I will be looking out for the update though Tina as I like to keep close tabs on what is happening with the little man :)

Tracy, well that sound legit, doubt the old owners would sabotage if they still have shares in it. So you just got to work this week and then your off?

Yeah I finish next Friday woo hoo, Mac goes home that week as well, so will give me a chance to get the house back in order and some free time to spend in the garden weather permitting, or just chill in the house :)

Yes, I know, I like to keep close tabs on Flynn too. I appreciate that you keep track of us. :)

Wow Tracy, that is big business! What brands do you export? I will look to see we have them here, Lol.

Hey you two lucky girls who have a week or more off at Easter, that sounds divine! I am grateful that I get a 3 day weekend, it wasn't always like that, it used to be just a regular weekend. Pfft! :rolleyes:

Tina
They export to France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Ukraine, Oman, some places in America no sure where, Italy, Holland, and lots of other places that I can,t remember off hand. The have there own brand its called Glens Vodka which goes export also Prince Consort Brandy and Gin which goes export. They also export the Malt Whisky all over the world called Loch Lomond, Glen Scotia which has a picture of a highland cow on the bottle, it goes to Tailand, Singapore which is a big customer, so its big business, but its poorly ran, the management aren,t good, but hopefully the new owners can shake it up a bit.:)

I used to only get a 3 day weekend at Easter in my last job

Wheeeeee holidays!! Love them!! Be nice for you to relax, I wonder if Mac will want to go back home, he might want to stay. That was cute what you wrote on Woody's thread about Mac getting into the same spot under the bed. Bet that freaked you out, kinda cute though.

Tina, a long weekend is good too, you got the hot cross buns and choco eggs stocked up?!?

It did freak me out, as he has never went under the bed in the weeks he,s been here. I,m sure he,ll want to go home but I will see him most days anyway. He is a great wee dog. I had an email yesterday from Marie his owner seeing if he was all right and she said that Jim her husband has found a stray dog in the complex and has been feeding it everyday and night, he wants to bring it home :eek: but I,m sure she,ll talk him out of that one.

Well time for lights out for me as its nearly 1 am and Mac is snoring, good to catch up as always. Hoping that Flynn and your dad keeps well this week.

Tina will watch out for Jaspers update, hope you and Jasper have a good week :)

I will have to look for those brands the next time I am at the liquor store and see if we have any of them. I know we don't have that chocovino that some here have raved about. I googled it and there wasn't anyplace within 200 miles that has it! :rolleyes: I guess I live in the sticks!

Lol Trish, I will be having some chocolate eggs for sure.

Tracy, I read about Mac sleeping in Woody's spot too, that was sweet.

It will seem quiet though I bet! Nice you see him so often to get your doggy fix! Nighty nite, it is nearly 12 here and I have been hopping up and doing vacuuming etc but better get myself going as have to head out and do a few chores!! Will see you later, have a good week Tracy!! That Mel must be out having fun, I hope so anyway :D

Tina, will be on here again later tonight... OMG sunshine just came in the window! Hurray!! I just checked my weather app and you are 16 celcius, I am 17 LOL... so our temps pretty much the same. I am so used to seeing you in the middle of the night I was a little surprised to see it is only coming up 7pm lol, you staying in tonight?

Nite Tracy, have a good day tomorrow. :)

Dinner time here for Jasper and Shelby. They are both looking at me like I need to get moving. I better go for a bit to let them out and get everybody fed. I haven't gotten much done today due to being so tired, so better get a few things done around here also.

Trish I will be back on later if you will be around. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon!

Yes, staying in. I am wiped out from the week. And I was gone so much with work, I just want to stay home with my babes!

I will definitely be on later, I am a total night owl. Not that I mean I like being up every night at 3 am, :eek:. Yep, 60 degrees F here. Nice day finally, but windy. We had about an inch of snow Thurs night into Friday morning, crazy!

I love bacon, lettuce and tomato sammies:):):) I will be right over:D:D:D:D:D


Divine Easter break for you and Flynn -10 days off, I thought you said. I hope the weather cooperates for you. We hope maybe we will see Spring in June:rolleyes::rolleyes: Yesterday it was a tad warmer here and the sun was out, but Koko still nees his lightweight jacket.

Hope your Monday is good!!!

Hay you found us on pg 3 oh we must keep up lol. How has your week been? Hope the parents are behaving. How's our little wonder dog been this week.

I will probably miss you and Mels sat morning chat as I'm out early tomorrow but hope to catch up soon.

hmm, yes about time for Trish to be popping in to say hello as it is the weekend there now. I think. :) Hope she is out having fun and doing exciting things too.

Let us know when you get a chance how things are going Trish!
hugs

Just popping in to say hello! :D:D:D Trixie had a little sniffing meet and greet with a Flynn look alike today in the park. Hoping all is well with Flynny and you too. :)

Barbara

Hi girls
Thanks for popping in, we are ticking along here. No parent drama's this week :D Flynn is OK, a few things worrying me but there is always something. I cannot get into the IMS for scan the week I want as they are the only emergency 24hr place open over the long weekend so have to keep their schedule free so are not taking non-urgents and boy I have tried! Just feeling a bit down about it all really, but we will keep on going as that's what we do! I do not notice anything specific with Flynn, I guess those liver numbers and UPC are at the back of my mind. He is drinking a little more and hungry too, maybe my imagination so I am going to measure. He is not drinking anything like a cush pup though so renal cause is lurking at the back of my mind but I am trying hard to push it back down. Anyway enough from sad sack me, it is the weekend!! xx

It is hard not to worry, I know so I am sending big hugs and assuring you things will turn out just fine for you and Flynn.
He is our boy wonder:):):):):)

You have had so much on your plate with Flynn and Mum and Dad, you need some R&R. I sure wish I could be in the audience for kareoke (probably did not spell that right):o:o:o

I have been sick thanks to my boss. Can I fire him?

It was 66 degrees yesterday and the sun was out, Koko and I sat ourside after work. It felt so good. Amazing what some sun and warm weather will do for a person:cool::cool::cool:

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Hey Trish. Great to hear that the parents are doing okay and not giving you any worries for now.

Now Flynn-man, hopefully it is nothing, but you aren't going to feel really better about it until you get another scan done, so hopefully you can get that scheduled for your next break and get another UPC and renal testing done. You just need to see that things are doing alright, either better or maintaining and not getting worse. So, once Flynn has had a couple weeks of no upsets, why not get some tests rerun? I bet local Mike will be up for that. :)

In the mean time, I hope that it is a lovely weekend in your part of the world and that you can enjoy it with some friends, karaoke sounds like a fine way to start it off too. Did you sing? loudly? Doesn't have to be well, just loud. rofl! :)

Have fun!
hugs

Evening :p glad that parents are behaving, and bit before time !

Off course you are thinking about his scan and numbers all the time even when trying not too I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Pants that you can't get in for the scan as I know you won't settle till he has it. For the time being you will just have to mean on us, after all I've leaned on you over the months :D

Hope you had a good night out and didn't sing too loudly :eek:

Mean on you??? hehehe I will try not to be too mean!! But my cranky side has definitely been making an appearance latey!!

I didn't sing at all, not enough wine... I was driving so could not indulge too much, two glass limit! But I did have a glass of a very nice pinot gris and a crème brulee :)

Oh and you can cancel the bit about parents behaving, I did Dad's dressing last night and it is flaring again in one spot. I gave it a squeeze and out popped a 2cm piece of suture material which had not dissolved, maybe that is responsible for making it flare. I just rang the hospital to get the ortho surgeons mobile number as he said to call if I am worried but they will not give it to me according to policy... oh well, I will just have to drive over there later and get it out the staff directory thing myself and get in touch with him and try get Dad in to see him next day or so. Hope he does not need more surgery.

Oops I meant lean stupid iPhone. Oh cranky side I like that you've had a lot on so it's allowed.

Hospital politics more like hospital Bollxxcks, hopefully this is what has been causing the problem with your dad's hip and now it may start mending properly

Flynny is not home, he is still around at Mum and Dad's where he ended up having a sleepover. It was too late to pick him up but I am sure he had a nice night there!! Sure is strange not having him around though. What you up to today? I have to pop into town and get some birthday pressies, I have two 60th parties to attend this week, one Tuesday night for work colleague and then my sister on Thursday. I cannot believe she is 60, we are going out on Thursday night for dinner, then I have them all coming over here for Easter Feast lunch/Cheryl's birthday on Good Friday. I have to bake a cake and she wants dark chocolate. Pfft, not my specialty so will have to hunt down a recipe or go to the baker :D:D

Flynn on a sleepover getting spoiled rotten I like that :p I,m not keen on dark chocolate cakes, and as I can,t bake I would be heading to the bakers lol. Its Saturday night here so just had a chilled day, did all the housework and laundry and walked Mac a few times while it was dry. Tomorrow I,m going to see the family we have a few family drama,s going on so I need to see if I can fix them out.:(

Oh no, hope your Mom and niece are OK. The rest of your family has sure had its troubles lately too so hope you can help sort the troubles out.

Mum is upset by it all, so I,m keeping an eye on her, and I,ve had a massive argument with my sister and niece so for mums sake I will go and try and sort it out tomorrow hoo hum something I could do without. Families eh !

Yep, can't live with them, can't live without them!! :D Arguments OK as long as you can go back and make up which you are being very adult about and doing! Good on you! So guess your sister won't be cooking you any special dinners in the next little while :eek:

No looks like I,ll need to cook for myself :eek:

Sausage casserole, for Mac!! I like curried sausages too, Dad makes a mean one!!

I made Hunters Chicken tonight for tea its chicken stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon, you can buy it already made but I made it from scratch ooooh get me, it was delish and Mac had a tiny bit of plain chicken :D

Is it next week Mel is away on holiday or the week after I can,t remember what she said:)

OMG that chicken sounds lovely. I think she was away from Easter? Did we see her last weekend? I don't think we did?!?! Man, my memory is dodgy lol Hope her smog problem is better!

I have to go! Need to go pick up Flynny and also give him his BP med, its late! Then up town to get some birthday pressies and do the groceries.. guess I better get cake ingredients :D Lovely to chat, will check in later!! have a good day everyone xxx

Yes, we worry about our babies Trish. It makes no difference that there four-legged and hairy. :) I know that you're on top of things and will be able to deal with whatever comes up. We are all crazy about your boy. Flynny is our boy too!

So glad to hear that your folks are doing better and you're getting a little time off. I am off on spring break for two weeks. I have another week off before I return to work. It's been a really tough year, so I need this break.

Hugs to you and butt scratches for my pal,
xxxxxx

Hi Trish,
I hate when that worried feeling takes hold...it's hard to shake. These tests and all their numbers usually do not help, do they?
We need to get an acth and also check Trixie's triglycerides. So I want to know and I don't want to know, it gets stressful just thinking about going to the vet. I don't want any bad news while things seem good. :rolleyes:
Between parents and pets there is always plenty to worry about.
Last night Trixie had those dreaded tummy gurgles that I hear from time to time. It gets me so worried when I hear that, even though she seems just fine, eating good, normal poops...but why all the noise I wonder? There really is always something to stress over.
I do find Candy Crush is a good pacifier for the nerves isn't it!!?? You and Val are more than
100 levels ahead of me and I'm stuck like glue on 199!
Hope Flynn had a great sleepover at your parents and that he's doing just fine. ;)

Well Flynn is all booked in for his appointment with IMS, a new one that is the senior one in the specialists practice. I was disappointed with our last appointment with the scan muckup so have asked to see the other one. Local Mike had told me right at the beginning he has a great reputation so it will be good to see him. He actually took care of Flynn after his surgery when the other IMS had days off so he does already know us from that. Appointment is Monday 5th May.

Mike wants to wait and do his bloods and UPC a few days before we go up, we were going to do them today to check if the ALP has come back down after the prednisone, but I agree with him to wait as we want fresh test results to take to Auckland.

Flynny is a box of birds the last few days, drinking subsided so I do think that must have been the pred getting out of his system and perhaps the diet of mainly biscuits now, rather than the wetter canned food.

He was a little shite tonight and in my bad books. I finished work early and often when I pick him up from Mum and Dads I stay for dinner, but it was too early so I took what Mum had made home with me... pork sausages. It was in a bowl with the vegetables on the front seat of the car. He sits on the back seat, the usual routine is pull into the drive, I get out and shut the gate and he jumps out behind me. I took a bit longer going down to check the mailbox and when I got back he was licking his lips and my sausage was GONE!! He looked very pleased with himself :D:D:eek::eek:
