Creatures Small...

"...He loves them all"

This little guy was found by Starbucks' neighbor Wings Etc. last night after my shift. He was so cute and frail, I couldn't let him be tossed out of the red bucket into the bushes and the cold night, so I brought him home, just until he could get his energy up. The way he clung to my warm hands was precious. There was definitely something wrong with him though. I gave him a box with some water and bread crumbs and tissue paper, but by morning, little Despereaux had passed away.

Jayme, you have such a tender heart. What a sweet creature. I'm with you - mice are adorable. Not in my house running across my counters - but truly they are God's little cute creatures. Have you read The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo? It's one of my favorites.
Have a wonderful day! xoxo
