How COOL! My 'store mouse' just crawled up in my lap!
I have a mouse here at my store who is a 'friendly'; I feed him, etc., and he's quite unafraid of me, but he's never let me touch him---until now. I put a raisin on my knee and sat very still, and he ran up the outside of my pant leg and sat on my knee while he ate it. he even let me stroke him a few times!

Woo hoo! :bounce:

4. He's a wild mouse.
A little brown guy. I own a news shop, and he came in out of the cold. We don't have Hanta virus here. :)
