Tiptoe and I were shaking our booties, and giggling, to the Hamster Dance. I played it on the computer from the website Shiela gave us.
www.webhamster.com, if you want to give a listen. Let me tell you, Tip has some moves... We watched the Presidential Debate last night and Dancing With The Stars. We read CURE magazine and listened to Paul snore...
Today, Tippy and I frolicked in the garden around my house. She liked the groundcover along the front walkway and burrowed among the dwarf chenille (they look like hot pink fuzzy inchworms with ivy-like leaves). She played in the palm fronds, noting their great variety. The sky is its' usual magnificent blue and it is bright and sunny here, very tropical. (Tipsy said it reminded her of the desert her ancestors came from in northern China.)
In the backyard, she nibbled on the Birds Of Paradise. I've noticed the squirrels chomp on something from them too. So I kept a sharp eye out to make sure no one messed w/Tipsy. She's so very small, I worry. But, she is very brave! A Warrior Woman, just like us...
Then I took her in my bedroom to see my prize bromeliad. It's flaming orange, and I call her Tangy. I love that plant! I get very attached to my plants. Four have traveled from NY to Fla (shhhh... don't tell, against interstate law I think). Tangy greets me every morning. I've taken pictures and am counting on Paul to make them materialize from the camera to the computer.
BTW, Pinkie has set a very high standard for all of us. I think she is a master artsy/craftsy person. She could go in to the scrapbooking business! The details of her passport from The People's Republic of China and the amazing journal the Pink One has amassed is a treat. Wait till it's your turn to view her work! Much love and time has gone in to this grand project we are all going to take part in. I can feel Pinkie's energy throughout my house. Tiptoe came nestled in shredded brown paper and hot pink tissue paper. It was a cozy retreat that she told me she really appreciated. Her whiskers need constant brushing, as they flatten, but she is a great companion and has made me sparkle and shine since I first laid eyes on her.
More to come...
