Especially when we have to deal with them after we've trapped them? I hope your tale is done! I love how you wrote this as a three act play. <br />One of our craziest mice stories occurred in CO when we visited Snow Mountain Ranch one year in the fall of the year. I think all the mice were looking for nice, warm spots out of the cold. I couldn't even bring myself to put my feet on the floor in the evenings. We would watch them (yes, plural) scurrying around while we sat with our feet tucked up in our chairs. All the food had to go in the refrigerator. Just remembering it (30 years ago because Sara was a baby) makes me feel anxious all over again!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-44746275420007819602017-10-31T22:35:09.253-06:002017-10-31T22:35:09.253-06:00What a tale!

We have had our occasional bouts with mice but your little creatures were great main characters.

Your story reminded me of one time we put a wastebasket over a mouse in the house. Then we didn't know what was next! Finally slid a piece of cardboard under very carefully, & like you, threw it out into the park. Yikes, I'm hopeful it's over, & very careful about the door lately!

One time I caught a mouse in the house. My cat had stunned it or maybe it was poisoned. I scooped it up in a dust pan and screamed all the way outside and threw it to the wind. I was not nearly as calm as you.

I depend on cats and small "have a heart" traps--which my husband insists are totally useless and just send the rodent out on a field trip before it returns to squat again.
