A new pet

Well, not really. We spent half of this weekend dealing with our ornamental grass. I don't care what you hear from anyone, ornamental grass is a lot of work. So Sunday was chopping day. After the Pampas grass came down, we sat down to rest for a minute. I happened to look over to see a tiny tiny tiny little gray bit of fluff. Baby mouse. It scuttled under a plant and a minute later along came mom. Poor mom scurried back and forth from her old home under our Pampas grass to the new home under the dog's favorite bathroom bush. Each trip back another baby followed her. Eventually they were settled, and now the dog has to be taken out front to take care of business. It's bad enough I've robbed them of one home without polluting their new one.
