On a sad note, I came home today I found my brave little mouse dead in his little cage. He’’s been sickly for about a week, but last night still came and got a treat from me before bed. I think the little guy just feel asleep. So I put his limp little body in a small chocolate box in a blanket of clean paper towel and a small cookie bit like he liked. I taped it shut and wrote on the box “you were my good and brave little mouse and I love you, I will see you again in another life”. I’m a little sad to have lost him. To some just a pesky rodent but, honestly, this little mouse was such a character. I will miss him.

I am so sorry for your loss. No matter how small and ordinary, a beloved pet is still a member of the family.

We do get attached to our pets, don’t we? Last week, I lost a parakeet (budgie for those of you in Australia) who had lived to the startlingly old age of 13. Aletta, I too chose a chocolate box for him! There must be something symblic in that! You do have my sympathies.

Trillian was a most fortunate mouse Aletta. Like you I treat all creatures with reverence. They are, after all, like us in so many ways and can teach us so much about how to live.
