She was going to be fed to a snake but the snake wasn't hungry so she lived in its cage for three days with no food and finally they had to take her out and feed her because a snake won't eat a mouse that's already dead. Enter: me. They said, "Here, hold this mouse that we are going to feed to our snake when it finally gets hungry." And I said, "No way, this tiny thing is mine, all mine. I will call her Susie." And I took her home in a chinese take-out box and put her in a tupperware with holes poked in the lid and now I hold her and let her crawl all over me every day and we are going to be best friends.

nicki reborn!!! I'm picturing Susie in that pose in the magazine with the picture of the rodent you fell in in love with at Christmas - with her little paws up by her face. Adorable.
ReplyDeletethe perfect little bundle of quivering excitement to coo over. like the french pastries on 'tartelette' -- from your blog list. how do you ever fall sleep at night, gwen? quivering? have you ever held a rodent so long that it stopped shaking and fell asleep? do they do that?
ReplyDeleteyou have a pet! a rodent-pet!!!
ReplyDeleteA rescue-mouse! Liam still has a lizard, but it's hibernating now (because it gets sooooooooo cold in Phoenix). Please tell Susie, hello.
