A nice surprise!

Just had an interesting conversation with the mother of one of my youngest daughters friends! She came to pick her little girl up (she’d been here after school for tea) and was interested in what all my cages contained. Turns out she’s a vet nurse - I’ve been nattering to the women at the school gates for years but had no idea lol - and so we started chatting about operations on mice and rescuing and all sorts! She loved my sets ups and when I mentioned having males neutered she said how fantastic that was which makes quite a change from the sort of reaction I normally get from people that’s for sure!!

Its really strange because rightly or wrongly I’m always concerned over how parents in particular will react to the pets I have, the general public as a whole aren’t keen on rodents, least of all rats and mice, and I’d hate it to get in the way of any of my daughters friendships. So to get such a positive, interested reaction and find out that I know a vet nurse was a very nice surprise indeed!
