Memories of Eric and Flynn

This is our new blog. You can find our old blog at http://ericandflynns.blogspot.com We will be keeping it up permanently.

Location: Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom

We are ginger and white brothers and enjoy sharing our adventures together walking in the fields. Sadly Eric left for the Rainbow Bridge on 19.03.2013. I joined my brother on 1st May 2017 so now we are together again for all time.

Field Games and an Update.

Dad chain harrows the fields when the horses go in a different one in the Spring, and that leaves some small clumps of dried grass and earth lying around. When me and my mum went for a walk, she picked up a small clump and threw it for me to catch.

I'm ready to catch it again.

Got it! Are you going to take it from me?

I'm a good catcher!

I'm ready for the next one.

Got it and I'm going to bunny kick it.

It's a fun game....

but now I need a rest.

Update.
I am doing well and as you can see, I am putting some weight back on. I still have a bony back and bum but my sides and belly are filling out better. I am continuing on a very low dose of Prednisalone and take one pill twice a day.
I will have a T4 blood test probably in about a month to see if the steroids have suppressed my thyroid function at all. It does happen sometimes and we are hoping my thyroid numbers may have gone down a bit. My heart and kidney values will be checked too.
I am feeling good and enjoying my walks and playing again and hope to continue to do so.

Flynn that looks like TONS of fun! I can tell you've added some weight and you sure look like you're feeling a lot better. That makes me so happy. Seems like your Mom and Vet have got the right combination to keep you feeling better. Let's hope so my friend.
