On Sunday the 6th four of the foster girls went off together to their new home, just a week after arriving here! I've since heard ... http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/archives/413/fosters-what-fosters/ Last week I received the sad news that Teak has passed away. :( He had been unwell and the vet suspected kidney failure but he was on antibiotics in case it was an infection. We all had our fingers crossed but unfortunately he took a turn for the worse last ... http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/archives/412/sweet-dreams-teak/ Thought you might like to see the silly vid I made of the foster ladies. Click the image to view it. :D   http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/archives/408/meet-the-girls/ I collected no fewer than seven new mice on Saturday morning, one of which was Pippa's hubby as planned and the other six new foster meeces.

He'd had a tendency towards a bit of a noisy chest at various times through his life so when his breathing became noisy again a couple of weeks back I dutifully started him ... http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/archives/394/and-another/ Sadly in the last week we've had not one but two unexpected deaths here. Firstly Indium passed away and then a couple of days later Ripple, both unexpectedly and both without warning. I don't know which bot is the most upsetting, that both meeces were still only relatively young or that ... http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/archives/390/unexpected-losses/ Things are finally starting to settle down here and although there are still plenty of cardboard boxes kicking about the house is functional now and the meeces have more interesting cage setups. The extension where the mice now live is far from organised but it is so nice to have ... http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/archives/387/a-moving-story-part-two/
