IN MEMORY OF MY MICE

Republished in Memory of these Dear Dear Friends  all of Whom passed away some time ago but will never be forgotten. They all were dearly loved.

SyeSye and ThaiThai, my Siamese Lady Mice

This is one of my favourite pictures, even though it's not in sharp focus. It's like ThaiThai is asking SyeSye "What can you see over there?"

SyeSye who, like all mice, has poor eyesight, gazes out across the room into an unending vastness of space - another universe.

"It's a big big world out there Thai Thai",  she says, eyes wide with wonder.

Both sniff the air, twitch their whiskers and squint as they study and ponder the possibilities.

To me they are like two white butterflies nestled on my shoulder. Their large ears are like wings and I imagine them flying across the room like tiny bird creatures.

The two ladies are close friends and share home with two no tail lady mice named Toffee and Minty. All love and care for each other and unlike male mice don't fight with one another.

As well as their Siamese cat-like appearance, Siamese mice are unique because of their tails. They hold them high in the air when moving around.

Mice are great friends and very entertaining. They are highly intelligent and love to play. They know their names and often come when you call. They are also cheap and easy to keep and don't need much space.

Personally I prefer female mice because they are gentler and don't fight each other like male mice. Also male mice wee is very stinky.  Female mice really are little ladies.
