Keeley caught a baby mouse in Erin's garden. It's always so exciting when he catches something living. Keeley took the mouse into his yard and played with it very gently for about 20 minutes. He would paw at it and nuzzle it with his nose. It was so cute. There were a few times when the mouse got up enough courage to try to make a run for it. But Keeley was quick and would re-catch the mouse and gently carry it back into his yard. It was clear that Keeley had no intention of hurting the mouse; he only wanted to play with it. But when the mouse was finally dead, we threw it away. Keeley received a lot of praise for being such a good mouser.
