The Ships Mouse
Mommy had many other mouths to feed and
under normal circumstances tiny Mouse, only 2
3/4 ounces, wouldn't have stood a chance.
Lark watched, every time, in close proximity with
wary diligence as I fed her still sightless tiny son.
I cried a bucket of tears over this little mite as his
survival was heavily in question every day for the
first month and then some.
I know it comes outta here! Grrr....
Pick me up Mom!
My little Mouse prospered, grew
confident, oozed personality and was
spoiled rotten.
Its OK Mommy I'm just feedin this baby, its
gonna be OK...dont Eat me... I love this
baby..we want this baby to grow up....
VERY protective Mommy...

He was pitiful, he didn't have all his hair,
his ears were Huge like his feet....
This little honey born 8 of 8 and very small (2 3/4 oz) was
bottle fed from the start. Still small, but tough, at 3 wks old
we had high hopes for his survival.
At the time of this Posting our sweet Mouse is 9 wks old. He is still a tiny thing, comparatively, but he Will grow up and he will grow old. He is precious.
