THE NOT SO MUCH MICKEY MOUSE CLUB

        I think you might be hard pressed to find
people who didn't like Mickey Mouse. But I
never realized, until today, the "appreciation"
of rodents goes well beyond the gang wearing
Mousketeer ears!
         You may find some of them today since
November 12th is "Fancy Rat and Mouse Day!"
Yep!
          There's an organization, the Fancy Rat
and Mouse Association, founded in 1983 as
an International non-profit club that welcomes
anyone with an interest in rats or mice as
members! I have no idea how many members
it has.
         According to its web page the club wants
to promote the positive qualities of rats and mice
as "companion Animals" as well as educate
people on their proper care. They even hold
shows much the same as you're see for dogs,
cats, and rabbits.
        We've had a couple mice visit our
place from time to time over the years. We've
fed each of them but, perhaps, not in a fashion
the club might recommend. Our snacks have
been offered on top of old fashion mouse
traps or, lately, in better mousetraps somebody
invented much to our delight.
          I think my Mouse Club membership
will be limited to the one Disney offers. But
if you're a member of the other one good
luck in this year's Obedience competition!
          Hope you don't "Rat" on me and
that all your NEWS is good!
