Rodent Alert

This is Dimple. He is a baby meadow jumping mouse that our cat caught but did not kill. In the process his paw was injured. We took him in to help him heal, but in the process decided to keep him as a pet. He was so tiny, mild mannered and sweet.





After his paw healed though I felt bad because he is a jumping mouse and you can't really jump in a pickle jar. Since his paw was all better we decided to let him go. It was a little sad because he was so sweet, but he literally bounded away like a kangaroo! Seeing him jump away like that helped us all know he was better off in the wild.
