Protector of Creatures pt.2

That is a great tale, but unfortunately I also do not remember the name of the little mousey. Does anyone know if it was domestically born, or was it just some random mouse?

That reminds me of a little hampster Verny had as well, though again Verny has had so many pets that is truly is hard to keep up with the names. Anywho, this little guy managed to escape from his cage (how I don't know--do you?) and make his home in the wall. Over the years, anytime me and Verny have been in her room together we mentioned him, and the feeling about it was bittersweet because it was funny that he lived in the wall for a while, but sad that he wasn't retrieved.

There was a special place in Verny's heart for cats (and dogs, but I noticed that less since I don't like them!), but honestly Verny just loved all sorts of lifeforms, big and small. When she came to visit me in St. Louis in 2006, we took a day trip to the free zoo there, and it is a great zoo if you ever get the chance to visit. We had an absolute blast. Being around Vern in the company of animals was like a personal paradise for her that you just happened to sneak into. Waiting to hear more stories about this....
