Hobsonville Point family reunited with lost pet mouse
Evie and Blossom the mice were living happily with their owner Amanda Politzer and her eight-year-old daughter Ruby at their Hobsonville Point home until the mouse enclosure was "turned upside down" by a cat about three weeks ago, leaving Evie no where to be found.
The family came to the conclusion that if Evie had survived the cat's wrath, they would probably never see her again.
But in a shock turn of events, Evie was found on Thursday by Maddie Rolston, who lives three streets away, or about 150 metres away directly.
"You hear about cats and dogs going and coming back, but you don't hear that with a mouse," Politzer said.

When you have been looking forward to retirement...
You know when you have been looking forward to retirement for years? Dreaming of all that free time, you will have?
Then you retire, take up bowling (among other things), only to find every time you play bowls, your back hurts, your tired- you'd hoped it would be better than this!
What I do as an Acupuncturist, is help scale that pain right back, yip dial it right down. And it will help you feel 10 years younger too! So you can play bowls pain free!
In fact recently in my clinic Ive been treating David, from Massey, hes 76 years old, but young at heart 😉. He's worked physically his entire life, on the railways, as a builder for decades, then a truck driver! He doesn't want his body letting him down now!
Since his first 2 ACC treatments he's back playing bowls with 70% less pain AND more movement - hes not 100% pain free yet!
But hes booked for his third session next week! He's committed. He's feeling great and he's going to make Acupuncture a regular thing! Even after his 12 ACC sessions expire!
If you know any David's, it's my great pleasure to help!
Get them to book in with me.
