The little mouse that could...

LaVaughn and I were down by the chicken coop a little while ago feeding everyone, when out of nowhere, Toby attacks a stack of tin sitting next to the fence. I was oblivious to the entire thing -- mainly because I was admiring the ducks -- but LaVaughn was on top of it.

What Toby found was a tiny little mouse, less than a week old. LaVaughn picked it up and held it while we began to move the scrap tin around in hopes of finding more, or maybe his mom. It was to no avail, so we put the little guy back and waited. It was probably 3 hours that we waiting and there was still no adult mouse to bee seen. So I grabbed the little guy up and brought him home.

We tried to feed him some booster milk that we have here, but he wasn't taking it. Plus, it's far too grainy for a mouse of his size. That when we decided to go get some soy baby formula from town. We needed to grocery shop anyways, so it worked out.

As of right now, he's eaten very little, but he has pooped and peed, which is good! We're going to try feeding him every few hours and hope that he take to the syringe and gets the hang of things. I read that can take over 24 hours before they start eating. But think, they're being feed by some foreign object AND the stuff they're eating probably tastes like crap compared to what they're used to. Only time will tell.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. It's time to go check on the little mousy and see if he'll eat...

Love & Peace

Adorable nursing kittens:

Is it not the cutest thing to see kittens nursing?

The beautiful, beautiful ducks:

And lastly, our baby deer mouse:

Sewing and chick update!

Our little chick is doing great so far! He/She is getting a lot bigger and is eating really well now. I can't wait to see what this little one will look like when he/she is fully grown. Going to be a looker for sure! Maybe in a couple weeks we can try and hatch so more out. If all goes well with this little guy, of course.

Aside from the adorable little chick, we also had to do a bit of sewing today. Nothing much, just a basic 5 piece set and a Bucket for Erika. Both of which are pictured below.

Until next time...

Here are the pics:

Look at the coloring on this beautiful little chick!

Definitely a model chicken.

And the Glider Bucket for Erika.

And lastly, a video of the baby chick:

Who is that adorable little girl?

LaVaughn and I had to go grocery shopping today where we ran into our cousin, Luke, and his girlfriend, Alexis. I don't believe I've mentioned this before, but they have a daughter named, Aliza. And oh WOW - she is the cutest little girl ever!! Unfortunately, we didn't get to hold her - considering we were all in the middle of shopping, so we just pinched her and took a couple pictures of her, lol. The next time we're in Fredericktown... it's on!

I suppose that's all for now, just wanted to share. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Song of the day: I'm taking a break on the song of the day for a while. I've used so many of my favorites and don't feel like rummaging through my songs every time I want to post a blog. Sorry. :P

Here she is:

 Here is the cutest little girl ever! 

Just look baby Aliza's big blue eyes!
