Last night was one of the coldest this year - well anything with a minus before the figures makes it cold in my books!!!! I noticed that Pippin was sitting in the hallway which was very cold - I thought he was being silly, especially when the lounge is nice and warm. Then a few hours later, he was in my lounge lying next to the fire. He kept looking under my bed so I imagined there was a mouse under there.

Now for ages I've been saying that Pippin doesn't want to hurt mice, he just wants to play with them - well imagine how I felt when I looked down a while later and saw this......

Pippin isn't really bothered by the mouse

The little mouse was on its way towards the radiator and Pippin didn't seem all that bothered. Then a few minutes later, Pippin decided to join his friend and they both lay there near the radiator and kept warm...

He was very patient with his new friend

It was so sweet seeing how he was behaving around the mouse. Whenever he got up and walked out of the room, he touched noses with his friend and when he came back in, he did the same thing!

When I woke up this morning the little mouse was sitting under the radiator, but didn't look very well. Unfortunately he died this afternoon. Probably shock, because there was no cuts, blood etc on his body. Pippin kept lying next to him, but I had to put the little thing outside in the end. Aww bless him.
