 Hi, Jim,

 Pet mice can be very nice under the right
 circumstances. A family friend gave me
 and my 2 brothers 3 mice from a litter
 they'd had from their pet mice, and
 these had been handled gently by humans
 almost since birth, so they were not scared
 or trying to escape, and would stand still
 and be gently stroked, or would walk into my
 hand to be moved to a new container when I
 had to clean their housing (yes, they do
 stink!) Just as important, the donor family
 trained us kids on handling and care so we
 were able to be kind and gentle to the pets
 they were entrusting us with. We played a
 while with our mice every day, so they stayed
 comfortable with handling. It was a good
 experience, though I wouldn't seek it out
 again. They are cute to watch, but don't
 have much personality.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

      Title: People Puppy Chow
 Categories: Snack, Chips, Chocolate, Peanut butt, Cereals
      Yield: 1 Servings

    1/4 lb Butter
      1 c  Peanut butter
     12 oz Bag chocolate chips
      1 ea Box krispix cereal
      1 lb Powdered sugar

  Melt these butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips together.  Pour
  them over box of krispix.

  1 box of Krispix (or some other similar cereal).  (note -- recipe
  does not say what size box?)

  Mix thoroughly.  Put the chocolate-covered cereal into a large
  coverable container (a big Tupperware bowl -- I mean =big= -- works
  fine).

  Add 1 pound of powdered sugar

  Put the lid on, and shake furiously.

  The result looks ugly as all-get-out, but tastes like a little bit of
  Heaven on earth.

  Bethica's Notes: I never fail to get requests for the recipe when I
  bring these to a potluck.
