Eric and I are known for "adopting" homeless animals at the farm. It would be more accurate to say the animals adopt us. Our newest addition we found after returning from San Francisco. We noticed a little mouse outside the window above our swampcooler. He decided to make a home in between the window and the planter. He is a very cute mouse, especially when he cleans himself. Eric named him Rupert. I thought it would be a great idea to give him a slice of cheese left over from making quiche. The ants enjoyed it at least as much, if not more than he did. So Rupert will have to fend for himself from now on. He ventures outside his new home every night and every morning we find ourselves looking to see if he has returned safely. Thus far Rupert had evaded the hawk and owl that live in the trees above our house. The best kind of pet is the kind that is self sufficient, which Rupert has proven to be.

sorry, try again....
Wow, another one! Has Peyton had the opportunity to meet Rupert?
No, not yet. Rupert needs to be careful because Peyton likes to prowl outside at night. She has not spotted him threw the window either. Peyton likes to keep the inside of our house mice-free, so his chances of survival are best outside at this point.
