I found 3 tiny mice at the cottage last weds. Before leaving for the night, I knit them a blanket of coarse wool and placed it over them as they snuggled together in a shoe box with breathing holes I'd pierced on the top with a scissors. I was hoping to find them thriving the next day. Sadly, they did not survive. I was devastated. One was found dead in the box. Another was inside the cottage on the floor - dead. It was so sad as the day before they looked like this: (insert link to photo here).
Larry dug a hole and we buried the two mice beside the bleeding heart plant. I still haven't quite recovered. :(
