Taming the Shrews

Look at the pancake turner in baby's hand?  Meat is expensive up here!

Ten baby shrews in nest makes for a great meat substitute, NOT!

It's so cute!

It tickles!

Upon moving the lumber pile, yet again....  IP(family dog)  found a mama mouse or shrew and then the nest, quickly followed by a passel of children and their Daddy.  It's to cold up here for rodents to carry disease, or so we've heard.  We all scrubbed our hands well with soap and hot water just to be safe.
