Our New Pet

I think that for Ryan, the best part about me working is he has someone to talk to first thing in the morning. He doesn't have to tip-toe around the apartment anymore because I have to leave at the same time as him.
So the other day, I hear the water turn off in the shower, and the next thing I know, Ryan comes running into the room shouting "we have a new pet!" Now, I have just woken up and we are doing pets at school, so I am not really sure if I am awake or dreaming at this point. But sure enough, I follow him into the bathroom, and we have a new pet.

This is Squeaker, or Squeaks, or Squeaky - depending on my mood.

He is really quite tiny, and super cute - as long as I know he is there and he doesn't decide to make a home in my towel or something! We are not really sure how he got in, perhaps he climbed up the drain or something - the gardens in this building are home to a number of little guys, and one lives in the gym too.
Squeaker is a bit of a fraidy cat and hides most of the time. He disappeared for a few days, but then I saw him again just yesterday. We thought he escaped into the office, but saw him in the bathroom again this morning. Who knows how long he will stay, I am sure he will find his way back out soon enough, but in the meantime he can keep us on our toes whenever we step into the bathroom.
