Here are a couple of photos taken in December 2010 when we were snowbound. I came into the kitchen early one morning and there on the decking outside was this little mouse, eating the bread we had put out for the birds:
There were actually three mice climbing all over and round the back of the loaf nibbling it. I wasn’t the only one interested. Lucy came to the patio door and wanted to go out for a closer look.

Yep, Lucy is very, very interested in what’s happening outside of her door.

You can see the concentration in Lucy’s posture- even from the back!

OK, cute little mouse – outside that is. Lucy looks very intent and I bet she was following the drama outside very, very closely. LOL

Mice outside is so much better than inside!

Margaret – What great ‘photos! And it looks as though Lucy is at least as interested in that mouse as the mouse is in the bread.

Outside is even a concern for me, that might mean they are cold and need to come in. Great photo.

Lucy sure is concentrating on that little mouse! The mouse doesn’t even know how lucky it is to have that glass door to protect it.

Oh, lovely little mouse!
Unfortunately we have had several nasty mice in our cottage lately. Huge ones (field voles) who are so close to rat size they are not the least charming. I think they might even scare your cat.
