Marvin the Mouse

Marvin the mouse lives and he is free! Mr PE came down and a high-speed chase ensued. What a sight it must have been with me one end of the bookcase covering the gap with a Tupperware tub (Littleone’s small toy box) and Mr PE attempting to chase him out the other end. I realise how rude this must have been to poor Jasper who was watching the whole event through the locked cat flap. He brought us our gift, we sent him packing and then had all the fun with it. I thought afterwards that it must have been like he was our dinner guest, who had come bearing a bottle of wine and we had sent him home with no dinner so we could get dunk on his generosity!
We checked Marvin out carefully and he had not a scratch as far as the eye could see (the way he leapt about our living room as we tried to capture him was probably further evidence that he was fine) So after a swift photo session I carried him in the Tupperware quickly over to the park and released him in the bushes with a little piece of vegan cheese to help him on his way.
Ah, there is a tear in my eye as I write this, he was only a part of our lives for a couple of hours, but I admired his courage and cunning trickery and I miss him already. I wonder what he is doing right now!
