Hi Lyn, haven't heard from you for quite a while. Still at work? Hope you and Lola are well. Oli 's fine after we went out for a two hour 'walk' this afternoon.

Oh yes, I've met people in their 80s and even 90s in relatively good health; but not here. This region is NEITHER Europe NOR the USA for that matter. As you put it: it depends on their life style. Sorry to hear about your aunt's death. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Thank you Gillian, she had a good innings as we say.
Lola is fine we had a visit to the vet on Monday because I was concerned that her good leg was giving her trouble but the vet thought it was just the imbalance with her shorter leg. (Posted in Health thread) I was going to go back to request an xray to be sure but she seems back to her usual self now,
Glad to hear Oli and you are OK

Most here know my granny passed when she was 103. At her 100th birthday party, when her time to speak came, she looked round the room and looked concerned enough that a few us grew uneasy. Finally someone asked her what was wrong and she replied, “nothing really. I was looking to see which of my friends had made it to the party. Then I realized none had. I've out lived 2 groups of friends!" When her traveling companion passed away she was affected the most because without her, there were no longer memories shared by another.

What were the birds doing with power tools?
It's probably good someone took them all away.
A Snowy owl with a circular saw doesn't bear thinking about.

I think the local woodpecker was having trouble with his beak

Could have been a chainsaw mouseacre!

I have been trying to weigh Lola on my bathroom scales recently but he won't stay on them long enough for me to get a reading. I will have to try putting him in or something. I think he is about 6-7 lbs now.

I just realised I called him 'her' again, I really should change his name. Maybe to Iolo (pronounced Yolo) - a Welsh name.

I put Joe in a washing up bowl on the scales to weigh him. He's 3.4kg now

So it's a 'he?' Time to change ITS name, if so. Yolo is a nice name for a tort.

Or a ratchett power screwdriver.

Spud sits very nice and still when I weigh him
Such a good boy (or girl)

I know people say torts can't hear but he definitely stops in his tracks when I call his name and looks around, so Iolo is as close as I can get to Lola, Mind you he would probably answer (or not) to anything!

 

[Abdulla6169]

Good night everyone!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Tidgy knows her name for sure, but it maybe vibration as much as sound or even tone of voice.
If she's being naughty and I say "Tid-gy!" in a loud deep voice, she will stop and wander innocently off, if I say " Good girl, Tidgy, in a higher pitch, she will look up at me and sometimes stretch out. I have about six commands that I use, which I'm sure she has learned, though no one much will believe it, I suppose.

Night-night matey.

My dog doesn't respond to monty much but when I call spud, monty comes running to me.

Maybe even a pelt sander?

Hmmm, confused pet syndrome, I fear.
