~Tiptoe's Rhode Island Adventure

[Believe51]

Well Ladies, as you know I left work twice yesterday to retrive Tippy. We stayed up late talking about life, our hobbies, our dreams. Tiptoe heard many secrets from me and I need to reassure StillHere that she is a good secret keeper, feel safe trusting her Karen with all your deepest secrets, she will not squeal. Our eyes are baggy today from our late night party. She was content with the pine nuts I fed her and is excited to know her next meal should be with Chester.

I read the journal thoroughly and smiled, laughed and said a special tribute to our dear friend Pink for allowing us to visit and share. PinkGirl, I too am excited, what a wonderful proposal for us to take part in. You may hear your ears ringing tonight as Tip is a bit home sick, I told her we could talk about her adopted family when she woke up from her nap tonight. Sorry to mess up her schedule, like I said, she is homesick and a little spoiled from Andi!!! Go figure!! Tehehe! Ed is in love with her, he let me take Randy, his squirrel with me today. They were sharing acorns last night together after I came out of the shower. Tip was hiding under some leaves and did not want to come out. Randy offered her some acorns and pinenuts and she was fine.

I have a special treat for TT on Monday, she is having her own company. I know she is chatty but for some reason she was a tad bit shy at first. I also know she used to have few friends, well that was then. She is quite popular in Rhode Island. All my friends have met her, of course that was at the time she was timid so I did not want to shoot any pictures then. I did not want her to feel uncomfortable. She does carry a spectacular positive energy vibe, I picked up on that before she even came completely out of the box.

I really need to go to the hospital while Ed watches Tippy, as I mentioned I fell with all my weight on my shin three days ago. Thought I would be over it by now but it is worse. They could tell me that I splintered a bone and I promise you all.....Tiptoe will never know. She is sensitive and I worry she will be too concerned with my minor health issue. By the way, Tip is the greatest caregiver I know. It amazes me that Pink is so generous to share her with us all when we know how very much she misses her.

I have a busy weekend and will try to update as much as possible, do not worry if you do not hear from us for a day or two. Love you all..>>Believe51, Ed and Tiptoe

Thanks for keeping us posted Believe. I like to know where
she is -- a bit of separation anxiety on my part.

I too am emotionally invested... Marie!

Is Tip aware of the hullabaloo about the Dalai Lama being presented with the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal at the White House? China's really mad. As you know, TT cherishes her picture of him w/her. Pinkie forwarded it on this site for me to copy and paste in her journal, having forgotten it. Wish I could post her pink pen and have you copy it and include in her *luggage*. So sorry about that...

Some religions teach that Life is all about getting in to Heaven. Some that Life is about preparing for Eternal Life. Some that Life is about following Laws to the letter, striving to be godlike.

The Dalai says Life is about finding happiness. That is what we were meant to learn to attain, using our human abilities to be: Compassionate, caring and giving of ourselves and our special talents. Aspiring to genuinely seek to understand the words and actions of others. From living with an open heart, grateful for our many blessings and awed by Life's beauty -- we are on the path to Happiness.

Chronic fretting affects your well-being and your health. So we must learn to live in The Now and not get caught up in the What Ifs. Tippy and I discussed this at great length when she was here. I miss her.
PEACE... Andi
