Well, today I was home for the 3rd day in a row -- fever and feeling absolutely horrible. When Wyatt came home early this morning from his dad's he took a short nap and then went outside to play basketball. After a few minutes he came in yelling, "Mommy, mommy! I have something to show you!" Usually when my kiddo says this I knonw that I need to be concerned that maybe he has captured one of the big spiders or one of the cats got out. But not today.... today he showed me ....Macks.....
Macks was under his Little Tikes basketball hoop and the mother had run away. Macks is now safely sleeping at the foot of Y's bed ...we don't know how long he will live or what will come over the next few days. But he has been fed kittn formula, and seems to love it. He "roots" just like a baby and when you look closely you can see hit little tongue sipping his meal. We would have kept Macks outside for his mama to come back, but by the time I met him, it was 79 degrees and far too hot in the area he was in. Time will tell as to how long this little critter will live.
Macks.........the newborn mouse at 8:30 pm --10 hours after rescue
Macks' new home....receiving blanket of Y's and some special mouse bedding
Tucked away for the night-- well until Miss Dede feeds him at 10:30p
Anyone want mouse duty while we are away???
