We have a mouse.
Apparently, it's not just any mouse, but, a very social mouse.
He's just wandering through the kitchen from the fridge to the stove to the closet in no particular hurry, and, we're all in here (the kitchen).
Isn't he supposed to be scurrying in fear or something?
I think he has a little bath towel thrown over his shoulder, and, is going to walk across the kitchen and ask, "Are ya'll done in the bathroom?"
We've set traps, but, the worst part is that Hanta Claus has come to our town, and, HE. IS. IN. MY. COFFEE. MUGS.
Did you hear that? He is in the container where I store my coffee mugs. I have NO clean vehicles from which I can consume my coffee.
Hmm...do you suppose the Ferriers had something to do with this? My house is, after all, "down the road" from theirs.

Want to borrow my cats?
Oh lord...I'd die.
That is the ONLY reason I have the damn cats.
Give that mouse all the cheese he wants and he'll eat hisself to death. Or, you could just move out.....
Ha ha! Is he little, gray and cute? Then you've got ours!
Coincidentally, though, the girls and I all heard an odd scratching in the playroom wall today, so I'm not sure we're totally rid of our mouse problem. Gah.
We lived to tell! We did! We put him in our shed for the winter and I still leave him bread every five days or so. NO CHILDREN WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS STUPID ALTRUISM!
The coffee is the deal breaker. Now Jerry's gotta go!
I've learned that there is NO WHERE the little buggers won't (or can't) go. I don't really recommend the sticky pad traps, because usually you will find a pad about 15 feet from where you left it with hair stuck all over it - and no mouse. This is one area where I am not very humane. Good luck with your mouse-riddance!
**Shudder**
Hmmm...I know a good pest control guy...good luck with Mickey!
YIKES! definitely my biggest fear! hope its gone by now. It's almost as if they have become so used to us human beings, they really are becoming social! I mean the last time a squirrel or a racoon has ran for their lives at the sight of a person..... well I can't remember the last time! We have a feisty squirrel in our neighborhood... literally opens garbage pails and will sit on top of our car in the driveway and enjoy his meals like it's nobodys business!
I didn't mind our mice so much at first, and then I discovered how much they enjoy chewing on wires.
It's amazing how many firetrucks they send when you tell 911 you smell smoke.
