Meows from Mudpie!
What a crazy week it's been at our house...again. Sometime on Sunday night a half dead tree in our back yard finally bit the dust and fell over. When Mommy noticed it on Monday she contacted a handy man neighbor about taking the rest of it down and hauling it away.
It's ended up being a whole week project as he also cleaned out our gutters and did a whole bunch of other odds and ends around our yard that Mommy hasn't had the time or energy to take care of.
Needless to say, Mommy was a basket case. She wasn't about to just let them die, so she made some phone calls and found a local wildlife rehabilitator who specializes in baby mice. The lady already had some formula for them because she's currently taking care of another litter. She told Mommy there were probably more than the two babies in our yard, but Mommy couldn't find any others, so she quickly drove them to the rehabilitator who thinks they'll be just fine as she could even see a milk line showing they had eaten very recently.
Don't they look yummy adorable? When Mommy picked them up they wrapped their little bodies around her finger, and in the car she could hear them squeaking. She kept talking to them, telling them they were going to be alright, just like she reassures me when we're going to the vet.
I'm sure my grandpa and our neighbor both thought Mommy was nuts for doing so much for baby mice, but they both know she loves animals more than anything in the world so they wisely kept their mouths shut.

Mudpie, all Wildlife deserves a chance to live. Even baby mice. Around here they're cutting down trees over and over every day and I fear for the baby birds that are still in the nest that are dying left and right. And that also includes baby mice and baby squirrels. I'm just amazed that there's somebody that's willing to take care of baby mice. When they get bigger will be curious to find out whether your mommy can go get them and bring them back to her yard.
I'm glad your mommy found those babies and rushed them to the rehabilitator. I hope they will be okay. ps. I only like fake mousies. ~Murphy
Mudpie, you certainly have an animal loving Mommy and that speaks volumes.
I'm afraid if I followed my heart, I would have had an entire zoo but that is impossible.
Did rescue a baby squirrel once, from a neighbor cat and he was the cutest pet I've ever had!

Aww, that was so nice of your mom to save those little precious babies!
poor liddle babiez...
Mudpie, I know you probably would have enjoyed making a meal out of these cuties, but the care and compassion your mommy showed them is proof of what an amazing human she is. Be sure to give her extra cuddles for being so awesome!
Your Mama has a beautiful heart Mudpie, as I'm sure you already know.
We are happy that nice neighbor helped your Mommy, and she is very kind to care so much for the baby mice. Our Mom is just glad they were outside your house and not sneaking around inside:)

Your mom is the kindest person I know. They look so helpless. I am glad she was able to find someone to care for them.XO
That was a nice rescue by your Mom and we're so happy she saved those little ones.
Awww, Mudpie, we're so glad your Mom took care of the baby nice and was able to get them to the rehabilitator! Good going!
I'm glad you got the work done, but even more glad your Mom took such good care of those babies!
