It's ok, they are pets,lol.
It all started with Miss Personality going to work with dad.
Who would have thought something so harmless would have ended up with having some new house guests.
Dad found a mouse at his work.
Miss Personality asked if she could take it home and look after it.
She found this lovely little container at dad's work and went outside and found grass and put a container in it for water and everything.
But sadly, even though Miss Personality did a really good job giving Mr Mouse everything he could possible need. The next day when we woke up he had died.
Miss Personality was a little sad, but was really keen on having a mouse as a pet.
Miss Personality has been wanting a pet of her own for ages.
We discovered a while ago that she was allergic to cats, so we couldn't do that.
We are not in a position to have a dog, as we are renting and moving around a bit.
I had liked the idea of getting a rabbit or a guinea pig, but again we are moving around a bit.
I asked her to do some research on what we needed to look after a mouse. So she went on the internet and typed it in to the wonderful search engine that is google.
She lost interest in it though, as these websites had so much information on them, that Miss Personality got frustrated as she just wanted an answer.
But google also came up with some great links for YouTube.
So we watched a couple of those.
We found out that mice are afraid of heights, who would of known.
Also they don't like to be on their own, which means we needed to buy 2 mice.

So long story short, on the weekend we went to the pet shop and bought some mice.
I was surprised that you had to fill in an adoption paper for mice these days.
But I guess it only makes sense.
Miss Personality got the last 2 female mice from the pet shop.
She named them Elizabeth and Blousey.
Elizabeth she just liked the name and Blousey is off the movie Bugsy Malone, that she has watched, and at Musical Theatre lessons they are learning a routine based on the movie.
They are so captivating to watch, we all can spend hours at night watching them scurry around in their cage.
I tell you it is more entertaining than watching tv :)
Elizabeth is the more adventurous one. From day one, she has been the one, happy to come up and smell your finger through the bars. She is very busy making their nest inside the tiny house.
Blousey is very cautious and is now after a few days, starting to come out more and more.
Every day we get out a empty box, and put Blousey and Elizabeth into the box with various things they can play with. Just so they can get use to Miss Personality and she can get use to them. At first I think Miss Personality was a skittery as they were. Just not use to what it would feel like to have them touch her skin. Now she is a lot better.
The first night we had them, they were allowed to stay in Miss Personality's room.
But she found they were just too noisy at night and kept her awake, as mice a night time animals, so they are more active at night.
So Blousey and Elizabeth now stay out in the lounge area.
