Lullaby for a Mouse (Music by Storm Large)

Zeus, our beloved Duirmouse, May 12, 2009 - June 20, 2010. Abandoned by his mouse mommy at one day old, he crawled out from under our washing machine and lived, despite the odds. I fed him every two hours and took to carrying him in my pocket or in my sports bra, which became his home. Our adventure mouse not only survived but thrived, taking a hot air balloon ride over the Rio Grande, riding in three cross country road trips, hiking through the Sangre De Cristo mountains and ultimately walking me down the aisle at my wedding in May 2010. He was extraordinary in every way. Still is. This is his lullaby. ::::Goodnight, my love. Goodnight::::

UPDATE 6/2011: Zeus the Mouse is getting his own book and a new film! For details, visit http://www.duirwaigh.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id...

I'm so sorry that Zeus has left you, but I can see its only in the physical plane.

His Spirit is alive within you both, its obvious, and that is the best memorial he can have - to live in your hearts.

Peace,

Como foi dito no video, o Amor sempre permanece!

Um dos videos mais fofos e emocionantes que eu já vi.Pelo menos, ainda existem alguns seres humanos que merecem viver neste planeta!

Pena que sejam tão poucos!

I can't stop crying. He's adorable, and you're so loving for giving him such a great home. My heart goes out to you. I wish all animal owners loved their pets as much as you love him. RIP, Zeus.

A year ago, I rescued a little mouse who was in my kitchen, my mom was about to run and kill him but I begged... He lived as a king too, in his cage with his wheel, eating the same food that my hamsters ate, 6 months later he abandoned me. Farewell Mr.Jingles... bounce in mouse heaven <3
