Here's to hoping Tex and Tiptoe enjoy one another's company and fall in love. I have read that they can live together at the various chaperones'/Guardians' homes without anyone thinking badly of them, in accordance with Buddhist belief. What a relief!

I also noted this -- the *Tipitake* is the Buddhist holy book! So Tipi (Tiptoe) is were named indeed. It is also of importance to mention that though boys are considered more useful in Asian culture, our little Chinese girl -- and her ovaries -- have come to save many lives! All us Herceptin Honeys can attest to that! So, you never know...

I think it will be fine for Tipsy to consider an American mate, who hails from Texas. He may adopt her ways of patience, kindness and gentleness. And those of us who are Tykerb Tigers should have a mascot as well. For the two to meet fills me with excitement! They are a perfect match, but of course each has the freedom of CHOICE, in accordance with Eastern and Western cultures. And so, the tale of Tiptoe and Tex begins... Daffy is a quite delightful way to BE I think, BTW...
