Five Small Mice

The day after I brought Jerry home last week, Debbie came by with a blue gift bag. It was a "Welcome" gift for the cat.

Debbie sat on the floor with Jerry and together they opened the bag, which contained toys and treats galore!

Since that day, it has become clear that Jerry's favorite items from the gift bag are five small mice. The mice have white heads and pink ears (or maybe they are eyes; it's hard to tell). The body of each mouse is of a different color. The five colors are: blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink.

I did not even have to look at the mice to remember the colors. And why is this? Because I have retrieved these mice from under the stove about twelve billion times each!

We have now safely blocked the opening through which these little rascals disappear.

Current mice head count: 1,2,3,4,and... 5! All accounted for!

(Postscript: Matt, Emily, and Eli came over for a nice visit after church today. Eli and Jerry got along great! Eli laughed at the kitty's antics, and Jerry was very gentle with Eli. So sweet!)
