A is for Apple

This is why I said we may need to lock up the apples! We have a sneaky little blonde mouse who is determined to get herself an apple, even though the skins get stuck. She took a nibble out of every apple in the bowl! After she had regurgitated a throatfull of pieces earlier, Justin found her with a mouthful of apple skins a second time, this time carefully chewing and swallowing the juice but not the skins. She turned on the charm, smiled and put the skins from her mouth into his hand.

There's virtually no keeping them from her; it's adorable how she gets so excited about apples and will do whatever it takes to get one.  She can reach up onto the table from the floor, and climb on chairs and reach things from there. We have given her little bits of peeled apple and sometimes she accepts that and does a good job chewing, other times even that is too much for her esophagus either because it is too tight or because she gets impatient and doesn't chew enough, and of course we juice a lot and make smoothies, but the bottom line for her is it isn't good enough. She wants an APPLE, you know? A whole apple. She just craves that satisfaction of chomping into a great big apple.
