When I was little my sister rescued a black and white rat from certain doom. Because Tiffany loved that rat, we all loved that rat. She was so smart and so very friendly. We would let her crawl all over us, in and out our shirt collars and all over our laps. She shared many a meals too, she'd just stick her head out our shirt and we'd feed her whatever we were eating. That was probably what sparked a long line of little mice pets. My Mom used to help us earn money, and even though we were encouraged to save it, we could spend it however. Since mice are a WHOLE lot cheaper than rats, I think we ended up buying them as pets. More affordable.
Anyway, Jeff and I always stop at the pet store when we go to the mall. I love all the little rodents and always check out the mice. I couldn't help but want to bring these little guys home. Them and their little Mama.
I know a lot of people have a hard time with mice, but I can't help but think they're so cute. Our little mice were such great pets. My brother even had one who would come when he whistled. She was probably our most favorite pet mouse, but had a very tragic fate with a door jam.
And speaking of door jams AND pets.. Chunky Brown is still at our house. And he needs to go out.
Y'all could be onto something.. he just might make me a dog person! How do you resist a little dog making squeeky noises when he naps on your lap? You just can't! Those little noises would make the coldest heart smile .... maybe that's the answer to world peace??

oh cute chunky brown! looks like you have a lot of pets now! oh guess what, im not babysitting on the weekends anymore so I have more free time! We should do something soon!
I miss those little guys, Daisy, Kirby, Watermelon, Peter 1 and 2. I know how you feel about Chunky Brown, Maynor and I just got adopted by a sweet little cat.
I think they are cute too...J had a pet rat years ago, and she was so sweet. She would come when you called her and loved to hang out in sweatshirt pockets. I think they actually make really great pets, and they are WAY nicer then evil (but cute) little hamsters. Every hampster I ever own as a kid bit me at some point, so I guess I'm bitter to the fuzzy little critters. Never had any mice...
Pretty soon you can open your own petting zoo! HAHA I think chunky Brown is adorable and would adopt him of I could. But I think you will be good for eachother- just keep him! Jeff will be so happy and the squirrels will learn to live with him.
