Poor Little Mouse!

A couple days ago I was in our basement putting things away when I noticed something jumping around in our window well. I went over to see what it was, and found a cute little mouse, stuck down there! I know mice are pests and I probably shouldn't have felt sorry for the poor little guy but he, or she I guess, was so cute! I brought Lilly down to look at it and we both sat and watched it sniff around. Lilly loved it. Now comes the sad part of the story! I was getting ready to go to my parents house for the day so as I came back upstairs I told myself I would go rescue the mouse on my way out of the house. Did it happen? NO! I totally forgot about the poor little mouse until that evening as I was eating dinner with my family. I felt so bad! I told my family about it and they all wanted to join me on the rescue mission to save the mouse. Unfortunately when we finally got back to my house the mouse was already dead! I just keep telling myself that it was already sick and would have died anyway instead of facing the reality that it probably froze to death. So sad. So I give a heart felt apology to the poor little mouse that was stuck in my window well. I am sorry I forgot to save you! I know you are in a better place, where it is warm and there is a never ending supply of food!

This is not the actual mouse, but I felt I needed a picture to represent the deceased. And yes, he was burried next to our house!
