Okay, I didn't think mice were so cute when they were pooping all over my house and chewing wires inside the walls. But that lil guy is cute.

i also have those horrific filthy little beasts stampeding through my humble abode (fortunately, i caught two this morning on a sticky trap), but these pest mice are actually introduced from Europe, and are not our native species.

ahhh so cute!!!!!!!!!
