On Bended Knees, Thank You Pinkgirl...
 

God bless you Pinkie! You are a sweetheart beyond description! I emailed these to you for you in order to share with you some of what I *Journalled* as it would be a long time till you ever saw them. AND, I (admittedly) prayed I'd appeal to your generous Spirit. THANK YOU for printing and cutting and scanning and posting and draining your ink supply...!!!!!

You are a true angel. I love you Pink One!

Pink Girl & Andi,
Thanks so much for the pictures. I have started a folder of all the pictures of Tip Toe and shared the drinking ones with my A.A. Buddies. They are so looking forward to meeting her. The same goes for my oncology nurses.
This thread has been a real delight for me.
Love & Hugs,
Marlys

Andi, your grandchildren are adorable. I am soooo jealous!

You gotta luv the pic of Tip in the red convertible. Too Precious for words.

I've been in a bit of a Tykerb Fog for a couple weeks and just tonight got caught up on The Adventures of One Miss TipToe! This is the funniest thing ... and most heartwarming ... that I've seen in months. And above all, now I KNOW there are great benefits of being forced into the Cancer Club. An exclusive guest ... and the chance to be a part of her journey.

I would be so honored to host Ms. Tipster here in Minnesota. I do feel her life could be enriched by a venture into the lifestyle of Lake Wobegon and the Land of Prairie Home Companion. Perhaps a meeting could be arranged with the great Garrison Keillor him-seff! You all DO know about the Norwegian Sense of Humor, right? We are one of the few cultures that still invites jokes about themselves ... the secret being that WE actually laugh the hardest at them.

If perhaps Mizz Tip T. arrives in the winter, she could be invited to a Lutefisk Supper in the Church Basement. Here's a new Norski Mantra we could teach her:

Lutefisk, Lefse -
Copenhagen Snoose -
St. John's Lutheran
Has A Prayer Tip Can Use ! (Use = Yew-ssse ... Prounounced the Norski way to rhyme with 'snoose')

MN Twins baseball is a favorite here. Depending on timing, she could likely meet Harmon Killebrew or a few other baseball friends of mine. I already have a wooden bat her size. And funny enough, it is an advertisement for Bud Lite, I believe. Perhaps that won't affect her the way Coors did.

So, Mizz Pink, the AbbyDawg would be very honored to be added in TipToe's Travels!

AbbyDawg

PS Should I also mention that Minnesota is home to the Mall of America?!?

Tiptoe needs to come to Baton Rouge and eat some good cajun food and watch LSU win the national championship..lol. She'd get along great with my ferret and guinea pigs...sherryg

Bringing this forward just in case some of us may have missed it.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Hi,

Tiptoe the 'Chinese' hamster got so stuffed with Chinese food while staying in Central Texas that it began to think in Chinese and was about to master the language before getting the message that it needs to go to San Antonio. So the Golden hamster is now brushing up its Spanish and preparing its stomach for Mexican food... :)

Brenda, PM me your address and I'll send Tiptoe your way.

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Jackie - I am not taking Tip Toe to San Antonio, I will be in Europe. But we need to get her and Tex to someone who will be there!

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

StephN is going to pick it from Austin. I'm waiting for her address.

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

We are on it! Our Chinese hamster Tiptoe has an address where I shall meet her and get her on a new round of travels.

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

This whole thing is twisted and wonderful. Alas..not hosting any "rodents" here. Too many bad memories trying to eradicate them from an isolated rural setting. I will be happy to view from virtual distance.

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Rich,

Here are two pictures of Tiptoe found in Pinkgirl's posting (#4) The box should arrive in Austin by December 4th.

Jackie sent me some pics that were not uploading for some reason.

Here are Tiptoe and Tex resting at one of Jackie's shrines. They also found a sustainable pumpkin to nap on.

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Where are tiptoe and Tex these days? They haven't been traveling much, or am I out of the loop? They may come to Hershey to taste the chocolate.

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Actually, they usually attend SABCS in December every year, so perhaps the schedule can again be arranged around that?

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Look who showed up unexpectedly at my house.....TipToe must want to check out the TDM-1...so she will be going with me to get some in another week!
She is empty handed, didn't bring a suitcase or anything, so we might be going shopping today!

Re: Tiptoe the Chinese hamster
 

Well, I can totally understand Tip's confusion on what to wear to a TDM1 appt. It's a really special occasion and she's going with a superstar.....soooooooo, exactly what would you wear. But I think she needs something in black and orange to keep the magic going for this month.
