Joe's done pee like you describe before. I'm not unduly concerned about that.
Probably a good idea to get Lola checked out though just to be sure. It's a shame there aren't more UK Leos on TFO for you to compare with

Good morning to you!Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday!
It's a bright, sunny, frosty Sunday here in Kent. Beautiful day.
Son got in from a friend's 21st party at 03:25 this morning. He was pretty quiet actually, but I still heard him.
JoesDad and I are heading for the in-laws. They live near Milton Keynes. Fingers crossed for a peaceful visit...
Morning Linda,Joe's done pee like you describe before. I'm not unduly concerned about that.

Found a vet open today but the herp vet isn't in until tomorrow and they won't do xrays or bloods on a Sunday.
Hope lunch goes well and tin hats aren't needed after all!
Happy Sunday to you too, its another, beautiful crisp autumn day here.Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday!
I love this time of year!
It's a bit more than crisp in Derbyshire. Mum just texted me to say it's snowing in Buxton!
Good luck, Linda! Hope it goes smoothly.
Morning, Lyn! Are you taking him to the herp vet tomorrow? Hope he's just fine.
Been meaning to ask you btw, if you have the time, I'd love to hear the story of why his name is Lola
Yup herp vet tomorrow.Morning, Lyn! Are you taking him to the herp vet tomorrow? Hope he's just fine.

As for Lola's name - he was found in a field in July 2014 by a friend, and after three weeks of trying to find the owner she couldn't keep him. So I took him in to continue the search - no luck so we're stuck with each other!
I took him to a vet for a health check and he has a rear foot missing so wanted to make sure that was Ok, and he told me my tort was a female and about 10 years old hence the name Lola the Leopard.
Anyway the following Spring I thought she was having a prolapse, which scared the hell out of me, but it turned out she was a he, and was just being very proud of showing off his male bits, but the name stuck - and he is still called Lola as in the Kink's song.
If I was going to change his name I would call him Riley - because he really does have the 'life of Riley'
I also think he is probably only about 5 or 6 years old having seen a 7 year old that was twice his size - although I know there's no hard and fast rules about age and size (haven't seen that vet since).

Wow - someone in work on Friday said there was snow forecast for some parts but thought they meant somewhere like the Shetland Isles!
Maybe the forecasts for the UK having the worst winter for many years are accurate - this year
I've just had a lovely invitation to my sister's house for Sunday lunch - yummy!!
So I'd better get myself organised.
I've been up since 7.30 but rather lazily still in my PJs
So have a great Sunday everyone and I'll see you later.
Bonus for today as well - I thought Poldark had finished with him behaving in a less than gentlemanly manner, but no - last one tonight!!! Can't see how he can redeem himself now though..........
(Well maybe he can - if his shirt comes off again I'm so shallow!)

Good afternoon, Lena!Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday!
You have a jolly Sunday, too!
I have a theory.
The Star tortoise Dork was tortoise number 1 in the calendar comp and has got the cover.
Numbers 2 and 3 didn't get a page.
Penelope, the elongated, was number 4 and got January.
So this could mean that as numbers 5, 6 and 7 didn't get a page, Charlie, number 8 will get February and as number 9 is a no page tort, Tidgy, number 10 will get March and using the same reasoning, Kristoff will be May.
Just theorizing.
Good morning, Lyn!
All going well so far. Father in law has asked me to help with his computer which is virtually unheard of. (I have only worked in IT Support since the mid 1980s so what would I know?Good morning, Linda.
Fingers and toes crossed.
wifey has her eyes crossed, too.
)
Enjoy your lunch and the rest of the day, Lyn.I've just had a lovely invitation to my sister's house for Sunday lunch - yummy!!

Building bridges hopefully.All going well so far. Father in law has asked me to help with his computer which is virtually unheard of. (I have only worked in IT Support since the mid 1980s so what would I know?

Hi Adam!
I had the same theory!
I had a couple, actually, the other theory being, photos are ordered according to how much Josh liked them. But then, I'm inclined to reject the second one: He'd be too busy to rank them according to his liking. Right? I'm still waiting for my shipping invoice.
I doubt it's in order of liking, but who knows ? i'm only guessing.Hi Adam!

E-mail Josh again to get your shipping costs.
I generally pester him til he replies.
But doesn't always work, he's a busy chap, i think.
No names and addresses had been forwarded to Yvonne, as of yesterday, so no calendars have been sent yet.
Survived, escaped and on the way home. Could have been worse.
A few nasties fired at Brother in Law, but bullets generally dodged.
Might need a glass of wine when I get home
