Mouse?
I remember when I was about 7 or 8, my dad caught a little black mouse in the basement of our old house. It was sooooooooo cute! Alas, nowadays, I only see mice at pet stores, and my dad's research lab (which are usually dead by the time I see them; I can't go into where the live ones are without approval). But a long time back, I did get to handle a mouse (for the fun of it, not for any experiments) and it keeps trying to run up my shoulders. Ah, good times, good times. ^w^
I have seen my dad and a few researchers at another lab grabbing mice out of their cages, and man, they can run! I can only imagine how hard it is to catch them in open space. Did you grab it by the nape or the tail? =3
