Was out camping, and a black field mouse (Color morph rarity) was under our camping platform. We fed his cheetos and such, which he sat and ate slowly. He then washed his whiskers and begged for more. We gave him some potato roll hot dog bun bits and some more cheetos which he stashed is his little hole where he sat and watched us go about our business.

We had a parakeet that was too smart, he got his cage door open and became cat lunch. After that we has slide hooks (leash hooks) to hold the doors shut. The next parakeet had some mad infatuation with my cat at the time and would literally scream her name whenever he saw her.
She died, and so did he not too long afterwards.

What is that little thing called..? Not a mouse, not a Mole..but a very little mouse-like thing? We had one in the house up in the Mountains. It was the cutest little thing.. Used to come out looking for food.. I swear it wasn't more than an inch long. I think it died when we went home and closed for the winter.. Poor thing..

I used to know it's name, but it's lost now..

My Parakeet, Chipper, used to pull the bobby-pins out of my hair when I was making pin-curls.. He loved to ride in little cars and trucks around the house.. He used to wait on the top of our back door, while chucky the Cocker sat by it.. and wait for my Dad to come home from work every night..

He was a funny bird and talked up a storm. Only one we ever had that was so smart. It's hit or miss with Parakeets I think.. ;)

Oh.. and my Canary died of a broken heart I think. She kept laying eggs, and of course they never hatched.. Did you know that birds like Canarys lay eggs even without a mate? I never did.. Poor thing, I think laying all those infertile eggs wore her out.. ;)
