I wish I could see less of them actually! We get house mice and deer mice (which carry hanta virus) here. This year has been particularly bad for them. We had major flooding in September so it's possible they are all displaced and looking for easy food and shelter. This little guy was cute as least!
Thanks mcaul6515! I'm a sucker for those big ears and eyes I guess!
Ohhhh, he is so cute! I'm glad you didn't kill him!
I know! I was supposed to kill him, but couldn't! I threw him outside...and he promptly ran back in the building! Ha! ... I blame lack of coffee in my poor judgment skills that morning. ;-)
