As the days in our empty nest turn, our pets continue to rule our humble abode. Rightfully so, our lives would be empty without them. And I'd be without photos for Odd Ball Challenges. Dessy (Determined, Eccentric, Suspicious, Silly, Yearning) Tizzie (Teasing, Introverted, Zzzzcatcher, Zzzstander, Impeccable, Elegant) Copper (Cuddly, Optimistic, Prepared, Particular, Enthusiastic, Ready) It's pretty… Continue reading Odd Ball Sunday – Our pets rock and rule
