This blog entry is meant to be helpful for people who keep mice as pets. This info is from my experience keeping mice and tips that I have found along the way. Also, I am including info on how to feed your mice an organic diet. Each mouse is different, so it is difficult to generalize, but I hope you will find something that will benefit you and your mouse/mice. If in doubt, please consult a small animal vet, as I am not an expert. First of all, the most common question seems to be, "How many mice should I get?" The general consensus is to get multiple (female) mice, which is usually beneficial. However, I have found this to be problematic at tim... » Read More

They were married or ended up married in all of their movies...their screen couple image often transferred to real life so much so that people thought they really were married. When they traveled to San Francisco to film "After the Thin Man", the management at the hotel had reserved a suite for the two of them, assuming they really were married.

Some people have asked me how I came up with the name StarlightSarah for my Artfire user name.The name was taken from my real first name, Sarah. Starlight was taken from my love of looking at the night sky full of stars. Even as a young child, I loved looking at the stars. I lived in the country at that time, so the night sky was very clear without light pollution. I saw shooting stars, falling stars, and would try to pick out the Little Dipper and Big Dipper. After I moved away from the country, I still continued my star-gazing in the city. My mother and I often would sit out on our patio on summer evenings and look up at the stars while we talke... » Read More
