The mouse has been retired. Fifteen (?) years ago, I bought two or three little mouse toys for Harvey. After he died and we got Tonka, he could play with them. Then Creamsicle. Now Goo and Abbey. Though he had multiple mice, I only knew the location of one of them. I tied a string onto its tail so I can play Mouse with the cats. Either Goo or Abbey has been very hard on it. The poor mousie’s tail is completely frayed. It’s still on, though, and the string still holds.
Tonka’s urn is a wooden box with a frame on the front, into which we put his photo. Along with his ashes, we were given a cast of his paw print. Today I unscrewed the base and put Mousie and the paw print in the box with his ashes. Mrs. L.A. had to look inside and poke his bag of ashes before I put the base back on.
