Note
Mice almost almost give birth when it's dark. So when I got into work at 9 this morning, they really shouldn't have been only a couple of pups in. So I went for the coffee I had promised my friend, then came back. 4 pups down, looks like at least 4 more to go. Then Rivka comes running with a look of pain - the CO2 regulator is making a funny noise! Burst diaphragm, took a good hour or so to fix it. Now eating crappy soggy lettuce salad from the hospital and hoping that when I get back to Mrs mouse she is finished, and I can actually start today's work.
Yey Christmas Eve! I guess all this could have happened tomorrow....
