Sunny 9 for 2006 January 30 (entry 0)

(4) Mon Jan 30 2006 19:15 Explain to me this: Yesterday, while in the garage about to leave for church, the mousetrap went off. We have had a few mice so we have been catching them with the traps. It has been awhile since we last caught one, but sure enough upon inspection there was a mouse caught in the trap. It was a pretty clean snap. Right across the belly. It totally sicks me out to look at it let alone deal with it, so Aaron always disposes of the mice. We were about to leave so we decided to just take off and Aaron would deal with it after church.

When we arrived home, the mouse and the trap were nowhere to be seen. Aaron searched high and low and sure enough, the mouse must have dragged himself and the attached trap out of the garage, or a rescue mission was organized by the mouse's little friends. We still can't find it. I have no idea where a dead mouse could have gone in 3 hours. I am just waiting for the smell to come, which I hope it doesn't.

That is seriously disturbing and WEIRD! Never heard of such a story! Must be some strong mouse!

When we lived in the country we were INFESTED by mice the first Spring. It was horrible (we caught more than 20 in a week). They are sneaky little things and I would not doubt if a rescue mission was planned. We got some outdoor cats, though, and that helped a lot. I don't suppose Lily wants a kitty for a pet?

We thought about that...Aaron is very allergic though.
