Christmas visitor

This morning we had a visitor - a wood mouse.  We often get mice when the weather gets cold out.  Well, it's cold out there now!  The wood mouse stood no chance against the mighty Jack & Shadow.  If anything - animal or bug, comes into our house, they know about it.



They were chasing the little guy when I got up - Randy had to take it away from Shadow.



Sorry, little mouse - we like Christmas visitors, but not mice in our kitchen.

That is a cute little mouse. JJ wants a pet mouse for Christmas. What do you think? Should Santa bring one? He wants to keep it in his room.

Sue - My cats have to earn their dinner! But they don't mind!

Barb - You have alot of pets already! I really don't think you should get JJ a mouse. But I shouldn't talk, I always have tons of pets and don't seem to say no when the time happens...

Oh, it's so cute. I have always thought mice cute. They are wonderful as long as they stay outside. Once they come inside, all bets are off. I keep waiting for another visitor at our house but so far none have shown up. THANK GOODNESS!

Not in the house! Nor in the chicken house....chickens will peck it flat in a second.

Out in the woods it must go!

I love mice. I bonded with a little mouse we had in our classroom in elementary school. I used to stay late just to play with it and begged my Mom to let me have one at home. She wouldn't go for it.

I hope this little fellow got some extra straw outside to help keep him warm. Those two felines of yours don't look to happy that you took their toy away...

Wow, it let you hold it?!? Amazing. We don't like mice in the house either. Cute, but destructive. Good kitty photo too! :)
