Busy Lee Family: A new pet?

A new pet?

Um... RJ and a neighbor found a baby mouse... ha! The neighbor brought over all the fixings for the baby including a little cage and bedding. OH - and a printed out list of directions on how to take care of a baby wild mouse. (Her parents wouldn't let her keep it, go figure...)

I am sorry I didn't get pictures of RJ holding it... he had no fear, touching it, petting it, trying to feed it. This mouse was little... her (RJ decided it was a girl) eyes weren't even open yet!! Well, needless to say, the baby mouse refused to eat. Now remember... I was warming up milk and attempted to get the mouse to eat from an eye dropper... (Oh boy, what I do for my kiddos)

Hence, when a baby mouse doesn't eat... well, she passes away... No more new pets for us for awhile! (She lasted in a cage with us 'taking care of her' for less than 24 hours...um...)
