Friend and Foe

I’m an outdoorsy type. Whilst not opposed to the creature comforts of indoor living (I am as easily seduced by a comfy armchair as the next mouse), I do however need to venture out-of-doors every once in a while and get my paws dirty.

As beautiful as this spot is, my preliminary findings reveal the insect to mammal ratio is at least 3000:1, which is not ideal for exploring, in my opinion. Unlike other mice I get a little jittery around bugs, especially the carnivorous ones and here there appears to be no other sort.
