I never thought I would say this

We now have a MOUSE for a pet. Yes, that's right. A mouse.

Thanksgiving morning DD walked into my bedroom with DH carrying a 3.5 gallon bucket. She said, "Mommy, I have a pet now!" They brought the thing in my bedroom.

DH said he was in the driveway when he saw the mouse walking around. He bent down and the thing climbed right into his hand. It's a little white thing. It must have been someone's pet or lunch for a snake because it seems very domesticated.

Nice huh?

  • Oh, no way in hell.  IF (big IF!) we ever had a rodent for a pet, you better believe I would want to know for SURE where it came from. 
  • Exactly! I want to know where it came from!

    I was pissed that he told DD that she could keep it in her room. I said, "She's 3. She doesn't know a thing about responsiblity yet." If that thing gets out in my house I will FLIP.

    It now has it's own cage and sleeps in our guest bathroom. Thankfully DD said the mouse keeps her up when she tries to sleep. I told DH next time we need to discuss these things. 

  • It could be worse, he could have found the snake.
