Yes, they've taken up residence in one of our window wells and Alex is quite smitten with them. He loves to pound on the window and watch them scurry around as they attempt to get out.
Sadly, they're demise is very imminent which I don't really mind. We're up to nine that have gotten trapped in our window wells and perished. These are the first live ones we've actually seen.
I'm guessing they're called field mice or voles. They certainly don't look like your typical house mouse. We've caught several more over the past couple of weeks.
A link to how I started this blog and why the funny blog name.
"It is not … enough for us to be convinced of the gospel; we must act and think so that we are converted by it. In contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know something, the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something. … Charity is something one becomes.” --Dallin H. Oaks, “The Challenge to Become,” Ensign, Nov. 2000, 32–34.
We become what we want to be by CONSISTENTLY being what we want to be each day. --Richard G. Scott, "The Transforming Power of Faith and Character," Ensign, Nov. 2010.

THOSE have got to be the cutest little rodents I've ever seen. What are they???
