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

Flynny monster creeping out is adorable! :o:D He looks great! It's wonderful to hear from you!:p

It was so weird how are our seasons are reversed. It's hard to get used to. :confused: We are in the middle of summer here.

Hugs to you and butt scratches for our little dark creature. :D;) xxxx

That is so funny!! That Flynn is a hoot without even trying. LOL

hugs

On it's the monster from the black lagoon only this one is rather cute. I did laugh out loud at Flynn he's looking great :D

AWWW, Flynny looked so cute!!!!

He looks GREAT even sleepwalking!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

Trish, he really looks good. I'm thrilled to see him:):):):):)

Haha he does look like a creature from the deep :D If you look closely you can see the lipoma on his front right shoulder that I think is causing the limping and is one that has to come off. We will look at doing that when I am on leave in a about 4 weeks. Have a few little trips but will be home a lot so want to do it then when I am about to look after him. He is laying on the floor sunbathing right now, he does not know it yet but he is in for a shower soon! Week has gone well here, hope yours has too!! xx

Is this the sneak shower attack by momma Trish? Watch out Flynn, she's coming for you!!!!

Haha Sharlene, shower time was a little more bearable for Flynn today when a couple of mates dropped in, he had a lovely time! It helped my friend Di owns her own hair salon so she did the honours of drying him off, he even got a blow wave!

Flynn adores Madi, he tolerated her running him around the house on his leash and she played with him for ages with his puzzle game too! Here she is helping to dry him off :)

It looks like our main man has the ladies wrapped around those cute little paws of his. Di sure knows how to do a proper butt scratch. That's quite a skill!lol So glad to hear that all is well in Flynny land.:D:D:D

Di's hubby was playing soccer in the fields over our back fence, so her and Madi came and hung out with me. We went up town, had lunch, did a bit of shopping, Flynny got evicted from the mall :eek:, found a cut price makeup show that was in town for the weekend, walked around the soccer pitch with Flynn, Madi had hot chips in the car and dropped them, Flynny was like wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and was ahhh "In like Flynn" hopped down and gobbled them up and had lots of loving from that wee girl, fun day! He's knackered now and snoozing on the couch until his dinner time :D

Sounds like a perfect Flynn day. Eviction and chips! Running and playing. Bet he needed a nap after that !

Flynn's looking great! :):D

Thanks girls! He does look good :) He is a bit stiff today though. We went out to dinner last night and he was invited, he played with Cooper for about 4 hours and his poor old bones must be feeling it today as he walking real slow!! But otherwise another good week!! On holiday countdown now, 13 days left to work before 5 1/2 weeks off.. BRING IT ON!! :) xxx

5 1/2 weeks off????? Did I read that right??? OMG, I'm afraid my green eyed monster is creeping up;);):D:p Down boy, down!!!:p:p:p:p

I think I have to move to New Zealand!!!!

I'm glad you both had a good time at dinner. I love D&D (Dinner and Dogs) I dont know why I'm so nuts for doggy dining but I swear, Trish, that Dog Room Service is something we are doing really soon and we are going to order an extra serving just for Zoe.:D:D:D:D:D:D
Can you picture it? Dog takes nose, presses button, room service comes to the door with treats. Zoe would have been doing it all night.

Have a good weekend!!!

Well it is not all annual leave, I have three work trips in that time so get paid leave for that with travel days so decided to take the 16 days in between all the trips as leave to get a decent break!

I know, that doggy room service is amazing, please take photos of how it arrives, I am thinking nice doggy shaped china with little dog appropriate condiments on the side!!

My green eyed monster ^5's your monster Addy.

I would love that amount of vacation all at the same time. Probably wouldn't want to come back to work though.

Oh yea Zoe would rock that doggie room service. Flynn would be mr chill while loving it. Then he'd roll in the big doggie blanket which you know they must have.

Awww Flynn keeping up with the youngsters. There is always the morning after price to pay.

Hugs
Sharlene and Molly muffin

I could totally see that one, Flynn all curled up in his blanket, being served room service LOL:D:D:D:D They give them their own bed so Flynn needs to bring his blankie.


Well, work trips are not really working so I would count that as time off too;) What a wonderful much needed break for you. Is Mom and Dad caring for our little boy? I love it that he goes to Nana and Papa's house and is spoiled rotten when you go away.

Hope you Saturday is perfect and the flowers are still coming up.

Yes they will be looking after him, just a few short trips, the longest is about 5 days. Plus my brother will be coming up to keep an eye on Mum and Dad as well and he is well used to pet medication regimes after looking after his cat with lymphoma on chemo for a couple of years. So he will be in good hands!

I think Koko should have a wee bell he can ding when he wants room service, so he doesn't have to get out of his comfy bed!! LOL I think it is so funny! I was reading about a dog gym yesterday, for those pets whose owners cannot exercise them :eek: it is quite a business for pets!

What to do on a rainy cold Sunday afternoon, Flynn has been bored while I have been cooking! So he got my attention and suggested I better play with him... noisy dog!

He looks great Trish! :D xxxxx

Thanks Kathy, there is now a little pile of munched tennis ball on the floor and he is back to snoozing on the couch!

I would say a job well done! lol :D:D;)

Oh he is ever so demanding that Flynn with his bark bark throw the ball mum lol looks like he had fun :D

Great way to depend a rainy afternoon. That is what we are having here this afternoon.
He does look really good

How's the boy been this week :D

The boy is just dandy!! Barking his head off this morning at the kids playing soccer who accidentally kick the ball into our fence. He thinks we are under attack and races out to give them a piece of his mind!! :) xxx

Flynny is doing his job.:):):):):) All good boys have to protect their home from strange things. Koko was howling like a beagle at the grass cutter the other day. Only problem is the guy had left 10 minutes earlier.:rolleyes::p

Have a super weekend!!!

Oh ack, did you have to mention grass cutting Addy... you just reminded me that is on the agenda this weekend!! Too cold right now though :D always some excuse!! Haha you were typing on Flynns thread while I was on Koko's! Great minds and all :D

You go Flynny! Stop those naughty boys from hitting your fence!!

Glad to hear that all is well in Flynny Land. :D

Oh that is hilarious Koko screaming like a beagle (does Vicki know this????!! I bet she has some stories with Snug and Brandy) and Flynn carrying on at the fence. My what a riot you two are having.

Molly found her energy briefly and was all over the house just flying. Hubby is on the couch watching that show, where you watch people watching tv and one of them has a pug and he was loving it and trying to get molly to sit with him on the couch and watch with him like the pug was doing. Yea right.

Fun never stops!

Haha some noisy dogs on the forum, we will have to herd them all to one end to keep the peace for all the other pups!!

We have a vet visit scheduled this morning, so Mike and I can work out his surgery date for removing the lipomas, probably a couple of weeks away yet. Timely with my break from work coming up so I will be able to keep a close eye on him.

Vet visit went well, Mike was very happy to see Flynny looking so well. He is booked in for his lipoma removal on 27th August, so a bit over two weeks away. Last time he had lipoma surgery a few years back he got the nickname Patchwork Puppy so I think that might be making a comeback! Mike wants him in early to check his BP is all good before proceeding. He has noted down in order of priority all his lipomas, he has about 15 :eek:, some over joints will be the first to go especially the one on his front shoulder that is making him limp on occasion. As long as Flynn is handling the surgery OK he will get as many as he can so hopefully we do not have to do this again. Fingers crossed that all goes well! xx

Well, poor Flynny...facing another surgery. He should have his own suite at the hospital by now, huh? :D Remind them to keep a good hold on instruments, etc. ;)

Squirt had many lipomas but none were interfering with her gait nor seemed to cause pain so we left them and just kept an eye on them...plus she was past surgery age when they grew larger. I hope all goes well for our tough little boy and this is the last surgery he ever has to face.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

We will mark the date on our calendar. I'm sure Dr. Mike will take extra care with our boy.

You can both come for a visit afterward. Doggie dining room service and the All Blacks in Chicago:D:D:D:D:D:D WOW!!!!!! Doesnt get much better than that!!

Ok. August 27th. The day I go back to work! I'll send extra love and good vibes your way. Kaibo and Flynn just can't seem to stay off the operation table. Silly boys. There are easier ways to get cuddles and treats ;)

Our boy is WONDER DOG!!! He will do great! xxxxooooo

Hi - thanks everyone... I guess it will be your 26th in North America! Leslie, we sure have held off on this surgery. I was happy to leave them too, but they are affecting his mobility. Flynn seems to have his mind set on being around quite a bit longer, we thought if his latest scan was bad, or bloods going more off we would not do the surgery and focus on quality of life. But his monitoring tests have been going in the right direction :D:D and now over the last few months a limp when he gets up from resting has progressed to limping at the end of his walks. So that will continue to get worse if we do nothing. Mike said we either do it now while he is in pretty good health or never do it as he would not like to risk it later on if his health was deteriorating. I just wouldn't want anyone to think I am putting him through surgery unnecessarily :eek: :)

Here is a video I did for Sharlene and Tracy a few weeks back when we were discussing lipomas so you can see what he is getting removed!

They are pretty big, but don't seem to hurt him. He loved your new game called ,SHARE MY LUMPS!!!! :D:D I can tell that he adores you and his treats Trish. Maybe not in that order? lol

aww, I love seeing Flynny,lumps, bumps and all:):):):):):)

I think it is a solid plan, Trish, and it makes sense to me. Flynny is a testament to your care and planning and unbelievable medical care your teams provide him with.

I just have to make sure I have the right day;);) My 26th it is!!! Though I know you will be here to let us know you dropped him off bright and early. I hope his BP cooperates. Better it is done now than not being able to so later.

Those are some pretty big lumps alright. Probably the biggest I've seen, but then I haven't seen all that many either. But yea, my thought was, get those bad boys off if you can. :) Flynn loves his walks on the beach too much to have anything affecting that. So all fingers, toes, paws will be crossing and you know, major good wishes.
