Lixy, what a fantastic story. Loved it. I can understand how you feel about little animals. Our cat stud was just a roaming baby kitten when our son brought it home from where he works, because he was afraid that it might get run over in the parking lot. Now, we deeply love that cat (my son named him "Stud") and he's a true sweetie.

Probably wouldn't keep a baby mouse though ... at least not without a cage. A basket in the basement may go a bit further than I'd likely go. Never-the-less, I love a tender heart that cares that much. ((( HUGS ))) to ya' Lixy.

Oh, yeah, say hi to "Mini Mouse."
