I am writing this without consulting Lolly. I was looking forward to Tippy and her boyfriend visiting me, but it is not necessary and not urgent. I could instead donate the postage I would have spent on those two heavy hampsters....just a thought. Lolly scream out, if you will be upset that we get skipped. Since my digital camera is broken, and I can barely figure out how to post a picture, I was already fretting about the problem of recording their journey on camera.

Lolly, if you do not mind....could you please make the decision. Plz post whether Tippy and Tiger can skip Oregon. Besides it is cold and drearie here right now. We can either donate the postage money or buy ourselves a good bottle of wine.

Whatever happens, someone needs to tell Tippy that she should not just take up with the first Tiger she meets. I hope Tippy played the field for a while. And I hope that Tiger is of good moral fiber (or was he made out of polyester in a foreign county?).
