Sorry pictures bother you so much. We all have our comfort zone. Mine, at the time, were pictures. Best regards.

No, it was not drowning. The original title says struggling. Please check my response in the tread. Best regards.

What a nice saying.

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

I understand. Unfortunately, I was not dressed to go in the icy water. The mouse was also making headway. The water event took about 5-7 min

Please continue. Compassion is an underrated quality. ;)))

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

Yes, I did once it got closer. Best regards.

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

No, it was not drowning. Kindly see my response above. It was struggling but was making headway. Best regards.

I appreciate your perspective. Coming from my experience of writing foster dog profiles at the first person, it felt natural to do the same.

I agree: Unfortunately, Bored Panda modified the it....maybe to get additional views. My original video (at the bottom of the post) relates it as "struggles"...finding itself in rough water. The mouse was making headway, albeit slowly, throughout her ordeal. It is only when she came ashore that I realized it was in worse condition than I expected. I always thought it would have scurried right away. Since she didn't, I thought to myself: "I've saved 1-2 baby mice from one outdoor cats before, maybe I can try to help this one too"...although I was concerned that it would bite me. Once I showed the pictures to my husband, he thought I should share it with my friends. When they had a great reaction, I though I could share it with my neighbouring FB community. Their reaction was so positive! :)))... So finally, this year, I chose to share this story on a public platform, hoping it might inspired people to be kind to every creature they find on their path, and have a strong will to survive.

Just to clarify: At first, the mouse was too far for me to help. I was able to intervene once it got to shore. :)

You did a good deed for a living creature. You did good!

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

You did the very thing that we all should learn to do. There are very few of us left who think like that. It is always good to find another person who gives kindness and doesn't count the cost.

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

Thanks so much for sharing and helping this little one. Sometimes I think I'm the only one doing this type of thing. But thank you for letting me know I'm not :)

Thank you for doing this for that little mouse! And thank you for documenting and sharing this story. It melted my heart. I was cheering for him through the whole series.

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

Ok, because I was thinking, why aren't you helping it. Why does the poor thing have to struggle so. Good to know. Thanks for your kindness.

I Documented The Struggles Of A Little Mouse In Cold Water

It reminds me of the mouse in the pool of tears from Alice in Wonderland! I'm so glad you saved it, it's adorable ^-^

Oh well done you! Your life is so much richer & blessed. <3

I could never forget something I read when I was very young - Gandhi said it: "Everything that lives is your neighbour". And so I have considered every tiny life ever since.

I would have kept that little cutie pie and named it Gus Gus
