What is a tippy? (pronunciation: ti - pee)
or should I say, tippies? Tippies (plural) to me and my family are how we describe our dog, Artie'
s,
feet/paw. As a herding breed she is light on her
feet as she 'tippies' in, out and about. Watching the family, guarding points of entry/exit, and to her stop on the couch.
This is a term of endearment. In this case, it
may be applied to an adorable person who is light on their
feet (applied subjectively). This should not be confused with '
tip'-toe' as tippying (tippied in the past tense) is NOT to avert attention or hide ones presence, but to scutter about with intent and ones own adorable purpose.
Tippy - a singular
paw
Tippies - multiple paws
Tippied - scuttered into the room
Tippying - scuttering about
A rhyme: As she tippied in and tippied out. I
turned to her and asked;
Artie? Why are you tippying about?
