ANNOUNCING THE ARRIVAL OF
MS. T. TOE
THE package arrived today! What a relief. Tiptoe climbed out the moment I opened the box. SHE IS PRECIOUS. Much tinier than I'd imagined... She startled me at first. I squealed. Then, so did she!
I have given her some water and the nuts Pinkie sent in the teeniest round plastic container. She had trouble gnawing it open I think.
The Pink One is wise. She sent along sunscreen and dental floss!! You know, hamster incisors grow continually, so the latter will probably come in handy.
All is in tact, including Tippy's whiskers (one was flattened a bit, but I whisked it up). She came complete w/tiny blue stud earrings in her pierced ears. Perfect for her. She flashes her prehensile tail around and she has every right to be proud. I know how rare such a thing is to most hamsters. Her eyes are penetrating and her temperament very demure. The pink hair extensions Pinkie gave her protrude just a bit from behind her right ear. She says Pink Girl and Bob were really nice and asked me to send them hugs. Tiptoe is unique indeed. I find her very chatty.
Much more to follow. I promise.
