Rescue!

Luke and I saved 6 baby mice last night! It was the weirdest experience because the mom was in a little nest type hole in the ground and when Luke went under the pool deck to get some supplies for a project we were working on, he spooked her. She ran from her hole but her babies were nursing and were still latched on to her! She dragged them a little and four of them fell off. 

I don't really know anything about mice, but these things were so sad and small, I didn't want to just leave them scattered. So I put the four of them back in their little hole and hoped for the best. A little while later, before we went in for the night, we went back to check on them. They were all gone. Mom must have come back to pick them up :)
