Mouse
Mouse: 18-year-old Mouse (formerly Lynda) was our resident “foster failure.” She initially joined us on loan from AWL Alexandria as a foster. But as of April 29, 2021 she became a permanent party. Huge thanks to AWL Alexandria for letting us keep her! Mouse was absolutely tiny, weighing in at just over 4lbs. So of course she hooked up with ginormous Moose as her BFF. Mouse also had rules when it came to humans: Look, but don’t touch! We were absolutely, positively not allowed to touch the Mouse. So, for the most part (notable exceptions being grooming and veterinary visits) we arrived at an accommodation with this little lady. Mouse underwent quite the ordeal during her dental surgery (provided courtesy of AWL Alexandria). She had 32 extractions and went into cardiac arrest under anesthesia! She had to be revived with CPR. But the Mouse didn’t skip a beat in her rapid recovery. Mouse made the move to Florida and loved the road trip and the new digs. Sadly, this giant of a soul passed away in the spring of 2025. RIP, Mouse; may your memory be a blessing.
