On Thursday night Shane was walking around his yard kicking up dead patches of grass.
As he kicked away a patch near the driveway he uncovered this.
A nest of baby mice. There were 7 total.
They were so tiny. Their eyes were still fused shut and as we got closer you could hear them squeaking a little. In the moment they looked so cute and so sweet and for a few minutes I felt so sad for them. Their mom was nowhere to be found. Sure they had each other but how could a mom just leave her seven new born babies in a hole in the ground! Isn't she worried about them? I wonder if she is watching us manhandle them right now and is feeling helpless or worse yet- what if she is so far away that she doesn't even have a clue about what is happening to them. Poor things.
Yes, I realize the last couple of posts make me sound like a crazy lunatic....whatevs, we all got our stuff.

Oh see, it's so easy not to like mice until you go and put a picture like that on your blog!
ew....if only they would stay little and cute and in their nest, then we'd have no problem ;-P
ummm... any follow up on these poor little babies. If it is bad then tell me a lie - thanks!
