(Photo from The Daily Mail)This is probably old news for most of you but I couldn’t resist to post the beautiful photo of the little sweet Dreamy. My daughter has been sleeping with this under her pillow for a couple of days now!
Dreamy was a snoozing baby dormouse nestled in the heart of a rose to hibernate for seven months.
But his blissful slumber was rudely interrupted by a dog. Fortunately he was rescued by the owner and taken to the Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre in Somerset.
And staff there have made sure they fatten Dreamy up on hazelnuts and seeds before giving him a comfy coconut shell to doze off the rest of winter.
The most precious thing of the week!

That photo is ADORABLE!
Oh, this image is just so adorable!!!
Goodness, a dormouse must be such a tiny thing to be able to curl up on a rose!
Awww, so cute. My daughter loved that photo too.
Sweet. I will show this to my girls tomorrow.

So sweet. Tell your daughter that Lily is still in the market for a summertime dog sitter. Any takers?
I saw this last week it's a delightful photo.
Take care

I love mice - we have a friendly one in our garage.
lovely photo, beautiful story.
That reminded me of Anne Geddes' baby photos - here's an example: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/dayart/20071129/450Geddes_flower.jpg
