After Carlson talks to Slim, Lennie becomes interested in the idea of owning a puppy like Slim's. He admires Slim's relationship with his dog and wishes to have a similar companionship with a puppy of his own.
George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse because he was concerned that Lennie would accidentally kill it with his strength, and he also didn't want Lennie to get sick from handling the mouse and die.
George wants to talk to Slim about Lennie's incident with Curley's wife because Slim is respected and a good listener. George hopes that Slim will understand the situation and offer advice on how to handle the repercussions, as he sees Slim as a wise and compassionate figure on the ranch.
George is not physically handicapped in "Of Mice and Men," but he does face challenges as a caregiver to Lennie, who has a mental disability that affects his ability to understand and navigate the world. George's responsibilities and care for Lennie impact his own freedom and opportunities in life.
The main two main reasons why George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse are that he kills the mouse without knowing/realizing his own strength when the mice bite him, and Lennie bothers George by bringing that same mouse but Lennie doesn't know that bothers him. Lennie acts like a child mental.
George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse because Lennie often pets animals too roughly, unintentionally causing harm. Additionally, George believed that having a mouse would contribute to Lennie's habit of getting into trouble and causing problems.
In "Of Mice and Men," George tells Slim that he and Lennie had to leave Weed because Lennie touched a young woman's dress and she accused him of assault. George explains that they had to flee the town to avoid any trouble or consequences.
George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse because he is unable to take care of it properly due to his disability and also because he believes that having a pet mouse makes them different from the other ranch workers, which could lead to trouble.
