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

I wouldn't test either Trish as he's not showing any cushing symtoms, I did wonder about the nodule disappearing but as Sharlene said it can happen.

I'm off for an early night I,ve had the week from hell at work and I'm mentally exhausted hope to catch you over the weekend :p

I don't know why he said that Sharlene, wonder if he thinks if there are no or minimal symptoms would you treat? Maybe if your not going to treat, why test? He never mentioned safety of testing when we spoke either.

I will google that about disappearing lesions.... disappearing is good as far as I am concerned!!

Tracy, love the glammy Gran... you must be Awesome Aunty! I don't really have any plans today. Bit yuck to do much outside, so the gardening can wait this weekend! Just the usual really, need to do some groceries at some stage but that's about it... no lunches or dinner out planned at the moment but that can change but after our dramas this week I am keen to make it a "Flynn" weekend and take him out and about to some of his favourite places... although he is snoozing on the couch right now looking just about exactly like this http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/albu...pictureid=6564 it is safe to say the new throw is now totally in his possession!

Have a good sleep Tracy, recharge the batteries!! Lovely to see you as always! xxx

I do love that pic of Flynn it makes me just want to crawl in beside him for a cuddle doubt he would let me or you for that matter lol

I'm called Crazy Aunt Rachel and her brother have always called me that I wonder why lol I like the idea of a Flynn weekend, I miss those weekend just being with them.

Now I have really going to bed !

Crazy Aunt lol... I like that... shows your personality!! I don't like hearing how stressful your work has been lately, what with new management, floods, bung vodka, job description concerns... hope it settles down next week and well if doesn't it is only a 4-day week! Glad to hear your sister is going with you on your trip too!! xxxx

Yeah I almost quit today came home for lunch and almost didn't go back I had to call my mum to calm me down. I'm looking for a new job as this one is getting me down. I've lost it the last few days and conducted myself in a manner that I am not proud off ...... And I wonder why they call me crazy aunt. Anyway I'll be fine after a good sleep I hope :D

Awwww Tracy, that sucks. Good old Mum being there to talk it through. Try to hang in till something else comes in, unless you have won Lotto and not told us about it!! You got this job fairly easily once you started looking, so hopefully a better one comes up real soon!

Nighty night Tracy! Sleep well and get some rest. Mason needs some aunty to throw up on again soon I bet! :)

Probably right Trish, just why test if nothing to treat. I just found the wording interesting.

The only difference I see is that Molly does have high cortisol, but tests negative repeatedly on the LDDS and has no symptoms. Making it hard to rationalize treating, especially if her nodule is benign too. Always something to stay on top of with these characters of ours. LOL

Okay, bath is calling my name!

Oh gosh I missed your last post there Tracy.
They say it is better to find a new job while you are employed at the old one, so I hope you can find something that is a better fit for you.
Good job mom!!

Get some rest, don't let this stuff get you down.

Sharlene and molly muffin

Nice, light some candles and go heavy on the bubble bath!!

Do you mean this bit?

I am not a believer in a hands-off approach to

Cushing's but I am cautious about subjecting a dog to too many tests in the early phases of such a syndrome.

I did have some bubbles, it's a whirlpool jacquizzi tub so you have to be careful, or bubbles will be up to the ceiling! I like Eucalyptus in there too, to clear sinus's and feel good. Skipped the candles, but poured a glass of...wait for it... Kim Crawford, Pansy! Rose, Hawke's Bay, from Huapai, New Zealand. It says it was the gold medal winner, so picked up a couple bottles to try. Nice. Liked it.

yes that was the phrasing I meant.

I have had that wine too, tasty drop! Nice to relax in a hot bath!! Puts me too sleep!!

I think the IMS just meant that he would not recommend too much testing in asymptomatic dogs, which we often say here.

Had a good rest of the day, got busy and did quite a bit. Walk with the boy up the beach, pooped and it was totally mucous covered, but formed. So his gut is still up the wop but at least it is formed. Did the shopping, now another lovely night in! Lazy weekend, but I like it! x

Stupid dog, a fly was annoying so I sprayed it. It flew off straight past Flynn on the couch and he snapped it out the air and swallowed it :eek:

OMG Trish!! :eek: :eek: Never a dull moment with that boy.

Maybe you need to invest in a fly swatter! ;) :p

I have one, its name is Flynn :D

I am presuming the flyspray that was still likely wet on the fly is not going to poison him :eek::eek::D

Lol! :D

One time when Jasper's liver enzymes got sky high, I remembered that the very day his blood was drawn I had sprayed a HUGE cicada killer wasp outside. Usually they are too quick and outrun the spray, but I nailed this one. Well shortly after I got rid of it (with a shovel, tossed over the back fence, lol), I let Jasper out and he went right over to where I had sprayed it and was sniffing all around. :eek:

I asked my vet if somehow that could have caused the elevations in his labwork, and she said he would have had to actually ingest a very large quantity for it to cause problems. So I think Flynn should be ok. :)

Well, I better try to get a few hours of sleep, in my actual bed, Lol! So happy about my long weekend, I really need it. And you will have one next weekend, how nice! :)

Excellent, thank you Dr Tina :D:D Imagine if I had to take him back twice in a week for another apomorphine injection for this time fly killed twice (once by spray, twice by getting snapped out the air and swallowed!). That fly had bad karma! :p

Now go sleep!! Then spend a lovely day with your babies!!! I am going to go soon to I think, been watching the rugby, my team the Hurricanes just won!! YAY!! Night Tina, lovely to chat xx

Lol, your vet might start thinking about Munchausen by proxy. :D :p :rolleyes: :)

Ok, off I go. Have a good night. Hopefully will catch you some time tomorrow. Nighty night. :) xo

Lol Flynn. He is hilarious and of all things to get the fly that was sprayed.

Nice day here. I was just up cheering on my neighbours that are having a yard sale today. Actually have two neighbours yard selling this weekend and probably next too. I was laughing because my girlfriend abandoned the yard sale and left it to the guys. (Husband and son). So I had gone up to cheer them realized they had some antique furniture so came home and got the lemon oil and went back and gave it a good rub down. When I left they had people looking at it so figured my work there was done. Hahaha

Full morning already but I did want to check I. On daisy before I head up to buy flowers for the front yard.

Hugs all

I know, that's what worries me!! I try not to hassle him too much, but something always comes up that needs discussion!!

Flynn has been asked out for a play date this afternoon lol... not me, but I will have to take him :D:D

hahahah, well just tell Flynn you're going to tag along and supervise, since his actions lately have been on the mischievous side and he is likely to get himself in trouble.

Sounds like a perfect way to spend a Sunday, doggie play date.

hugs
sharlene and molly muffin

Yes :D.. the txt came in addressed to him from Cooper asking him to come over and play :) Cute! You sound like you have had a busy day Sharlene, nice here too, it has high of 20 in the forecast so not too bad for late autumn! Most of the leaves are down and happily with that wind yesterday they have all blown away to god knows where, but they are not in my yard so that is one job that doesn't need doing :D:D

Oh Flynn you do make me laugh :D I can imagine Mikes face if you had to take him back in for that lol

Aw a play date for Flynn as Sharlene said you will need to go supervise him they way he,s been going this week, git to love him :D

I will supervise lol... for some reason he tries to hump Cooper, he is small. Flynn does not even get close, but his owner frowns :p then he pee'ed on his head. I am surprised he has been invited back!!!

A play date sounds so fun, Flynn will love that. Jasper used to enjoy things like that before he got sick, now not so much. I think sometimes it stresses him out now. And then I have to worry if I have given him enough Dex to compensate for it. Another thing that this illness has taken from him. Kind of sad. :(

Yes, I worry about what my vet thinks sometimes too. It is literally one thing after another for us!! :rolleyes:

Hi Tracy, how are you doing? :)

Hi Tina I'm doing good how are you, did I not read earlier you were going to bed ha ha I'm on a three day weekend as well, it's great.

Aw cooper is cute, really Flynn peeing on his head that boy cracks me up, I'm also surprised he,s been invited back, I'm still laughing at that ha ha

Flynn wasn't humping, he was Twerking! See it looks like a hump and is easily mistaken as such, but nope, it's just Flynn showing off his moves.

Okay, I can't explain away the peeing on the head, that's just wrong. Flynn!!! No wonder you need mom to supervise you! Goodness.

Love that picture. He is such a leader and teacher, showing Cooper the ropes.

have fun
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

LMAO at the twerking, I am going to tell Cooper's owner Flynn has been watching too much Miley!!

The peeing on the head is not actually his fault, Cooper is short and won't leave Flynn alone, he tails him about the garden relentlessly when they play. Flynn goes to pee, silly Cooper just happens to be there sniffing about!

Our vets love us Tina, I am sure of it!! :D:D

The lab down the street peed on Koko's head the first time they met and Koko has hated him ever since:rolleyes: I always let Koko pee on his mailbox post:D:D:p That way Koko thinks he is getting even.

We should have ordered Chinese, now I am hungry for it. We had salad and french bread. That way I figured I could squeeze in an ice cream:p

Oh gosh, Cooper is soooo cute. That is the name of my vet's son!

Twerking is mentioned again, Lol!!! Peeing on his head?! I don't know what to say about that. It looks like maybe the little guy needs to learn when to get out of the way, LMAO :D

Yes, Tracy, you are correct. I was so tired after work yesterday, I fell asleep on the couch until about 2 am, then was up for a few hours, then to bed for a couple more hours of shut eye. Not an ideal sleep pattern!!

Love the three day weekend. How nice that Sharlene had one last weekend, we have ours now, and Trish gets hers next weekend. :)

Warning girls, I just posted an essay of an update on Jasper. I don't know how to not be long winded I guess! :o

That lab probably goes outside and sniffs that Koko pee and pee's right on top of it... like a never ending pee competition! Let him do a poop <:p>

What are you two like ha ha. When Mac was a puppy he used to pee on people's legs especially if he could smell they had a dog most embarrassing as you would be standing talking to someone and he would cock his leg :eek:

lol, Tracy, I can imagine how you felt about that one; at least he wasnt twerking the leg too:D

My worst twerking moment was my old dog Bruno. The day my dad past away the minister came to the house and all the family were there including Bruno. I was in the kitchen when my mum shouted on me I rushed through to find Bruno twerking on the ministers arm :eek: bless the minister just kept on talking and trying to shake Bruno off it was funny but I was so embarrassed

Haha, ohh our conversation is in the gutter today! :D

I am multi-tasking... here, laundry, biscuit making again to take to our play date... for us, not the dogs! I did some yesterday but gave them to Dad as he has a sweet tooth and likes homemade ones.

Where my homemade biscuits, pop them in the post for me Trish.

Ok ladies sleep time for me again good to chat xx

I know, ever since I got my new mixer and it sits on the counter staring at me in all its beautiful redness I keep getting the desire to bake!! I would send you some, the old standby peanut brownies!! Night Tracy, hope you are all caught up on your sleep tomorrow and get to enjoy some of your long weekend in daylight hours!! Rest up!! x

Oh Tracy, that was hilarious with Bruno. I laughed and laughed at that. The visual in my head was priceless!!!
hmm, baked biccis can come in handy if cooper gets his head peed on again!
Gutter talk, nothing better on a long weekend. :)

hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

oMG I don't know how I missed that post Tracy, that is the BEST twerking story ever... your Mum would have been mortified lol I bet your father was looking down laughing :D:D:D

What time is Flynn's play date? Is he all ready to go? :)
