One place we lived when I was growing up occasionally had mice and my mother freaked out, but my Dad would take them out and let them go. As for my mouse, when I was sent to summer camp, my grandmother (Dad's mother) would mouse-sit for me. He got a blueberry every morning. And my Dad was the only one in my family who also liked my rat.
