Yes, more pets. Not that we don't have enough but Michael and Ben wanted pets of their OWN.
I heard them discussing getting kittens but I was able to put the stop on that! Michael got stuck on the Mice right away and I was able to talk Ben out of Gerbils (they chew everything and I already have a pet like that). So, after making them wait 2 months (after our big summer trip) we spent 2 weeks getting the mouse house and other supplies. I took them over to Denver Dumb Friends Leauge (animal shelter) to look at their supply of unwanted mice and there were quite a few females to pick from. Ben found his right away--it had to have spots (thankfully it was very friendly), Michael had to go through about 4 before he found a very nice white and grey one. He couldn't decide between the white/grey and a red one and I felt bad for the red one since they were cage buddies---we took both. Yes, I have a mouse now too!
