Ps. Deer mice and pet fancy mice are different species, so they can't breed. No babies, just companionship.

I continue as I was. Sometimes I take time to be where the small animals are. I've always found them to be beautiful, magical, & interesting as they attend to their lives. I'm glad they enjoy my company because I've enjoyed theirs. When I notice a need or something they like, I provide what I can.

I wave hello then continue as I was. It doesn't matter that I now know something is judging me. I was already doing my best.

I suppose occasionally I'll ask if the entity needs/ wants something or is aware of another simulation participant that needs/ wants something? Maybe some pasta or a hug?

Ahh! I hope you've never burned yourself.

One of my favorites (/s) is when I put a pump of hand soap on my toothbrush instead of tooth paste.

I haven't left my property in 10 days. That was to go to the doctor. I won't leave again probably for a few more days yet. That excursion will be to get some new pets, drop off returns at UPS, and leave a donation box at Goodwill (and maybe do some thrifting too).

We are also confused how she even escaped. But we will be getting her a new bin tomorrow. 😮‍💨

Bean! I think it's incredible they're three now. Mice in the wild rarely live past two, so happy life celebration to that lil one.
