I had a couple of rat pets as well! They were adorable, but ornery.
I nominated your blog! Yes, Peaches was very ornery 🙂
Dang! How did I miss that? Thank you!
AJ, Thanks for sharing and thinking of me. I’ve never tried pickle juice. Sounds interesting. Are there any benefits to drinking pickle juice? Happy new year! All the best in 2015!
I don’t think there are any benefits lol. I’ve liked pickle juice since I was a kiddo :). You’re welcome! Happy New Year!
A fellow pickle juice drinker! Hurray 🙂
Yay! I’m not the only one :). Thank you so much for the nomination!
Congrats to your award and many thanks for nominating me :o) My grampy is a fan of pickle juice too, he can’t wait till the jar is empty and he can get the juice :o)
Thank you and you’re welcome!
Congrats on the award, how exciting! The two of you look real cute in the picture. As for the sweaters, well… 😀
Thank you! Haha! We made the ugly sweaters. Hooray for glue guns :).
It’s crazy how much fun one can have with those! My wife is, like, the fastest glue gun this side of the ocean. 😀
Lol. It was our first hubby/wifey craft night :).
Thanks for nominating my blog. I am speechless. I don’t eat pickles, and admire you for drinking the juice. Happy 2015, AJ! Hugs!
You’re welcome! Happy writing!
