Ever notice that some words tickle you just from the sound of them? I enjoy these words: -Moggy -Chook -Foot -Pee -Paws -Wee -Rump -Fizzy -Snick (don’t know if that’s an actual word, I picked it up from a friend who says her dog likes to “snick” his ball along the floor :)) Eh, kinda boring stuff, but it’s a slow day for me right now… ---
