Description
Duncan was (at the time) the oldest mouse we have ever had at Zen, living to the grand old age of 2 years and 8 months. He was the son of Piper and the grandson of my founding mouse, Circe. In his youth, he was a comfortably tubby boy who spent his time hanging off his cage and watching me, pleading for a cuddle (or treats, more likely). Duncan was my boy, my baby. When he was 18 months old, he was my only remaining mouse. I almost threw the towel in right there, but my love for him and his kind kept me going. And how grateful I am to him for that. Everyone knew and loved him, everyone heard me speak of him. He sired one litter, by Wicket, and at the time of his death had three litters of grandchildren. He will always be loved, mourned, and remembered. I consider him to be the true beginning of Zen Mousery – it was with him that I founded the Zen name, started attending shows, and began to expand the mousery.
