7. Pets of the week

   Serenity / Shih Tzu / 7

   Serenity is owned by our friend, Judy Park. Serenity is a quiet and wonderful pet but did not look the part when we visited the Park home one evening. She just happened to be lying beside their home security sign when I took this photo. Updated 1:42 PM 10/04/08
