Thank you all. Some fears are good for health, Cerehzog. :)

I don't know why but I have a completely irrational fear of mice in the house....they're so adorable...it's nuts.

I hate to have mice in the house, but I'm glad that one got away. Nice photos!

They are really cute. My dog kills them whenever he smells them around. This one got lucky. I examine the dying mice sometimes and have seen the long incisors. They are really sharp and can cut almost anything.

I love rodents! They're intelligent and inquisitive. Careful not to be bitten though: they can carry diseases.

Thanks Daniele. I had never been so close to a mouse. It was stuck between the doors. But it soon realized that I was harmless, so it jumped on my hand, landed on the ground and ran away.
