Annie, this one's for you!

Dave was out in the back yard building a fire and thought it would be a great time to burn up the old mattress we had lying around in the barn. When he went to pick up the mattress a little mouse ran out with a baby in her mouth. We saw two little baby mice she left behind. Dave thought to himself, “What would Annie do”? He guessed that she would have tried to save them, so he put on some ski gloves and got a box. His original plan was to “return her to the wild” in a nearby field, but when he lifted the mattress she ran right past him, and I was pretty sure she would not be coming back for her little hairless babies. I thought to myself how disappointed Annie would be that we tampered with nature and now these little baby mice would surly die! So we decided to sprinkle some Ritz crackers around the babies and hope the mama came back in the night. Happy to say that an hour later all babies and mama were gone. I like the think she came back and got them. So what would Annie have done???????
