Don't feel too bad, they do have quite short lives.
I used to show mice when I was a teenager, did quite well too ;-) so
I know a little about them.
I was a member of the National Mouse Club!

Since we're still off topic and talking about mice, I thought I'd
introduce you to my new two. I don't think I'll put them in with
Madison, at least not for a while. She's still very itchy and we
will need another trip to the vet. I sprayed her with a tiny spray
of antiseptic so I hope she will be comfortable until I can get her
in again.
Here are my new two:

One is related to a hairless but is called a "fuzzy". The other is
semi-longhaired and called a "splotched". I never knew mice could be
so exotic. These two are just under a year old and retired breeding
females. They are VERY active. I don't think either of them have
been on a running wheel before but the fuzzy figured it out fairly
fast. The splotched one hasn't gotten past giving up when it starts
to move when she tries to climb on it.

They are lovely. They may not live more than a couple of years though so
don't expect it.
I love mice. How could anyone not?

I'd like to second Tweed's sentiment here. I'd have to say the only real
downside to mice and many other 'pocket pets' is their short lives. We
don't love them any less for it, though.
