Intruder Caught!

If you remember a few blogs back I mentioned setting a mouse trap and waiting for the mice to take the bait... well we finally got one. Hes just a wee little guy, probably still learning the ropes of home intrusion. But he could not resist the yummy smell of peanut butter luring him into a mysterious box. A strange box with a swinging boor filled with peanut butter, I wouldn't pass it up either. Doesn't everyone want to roll in peanut butter? He seriously must have just wallowed in the peanut butter because it was all over the box and him! There was hardly any left! And I had lathered it on! Since this box is suppoed to be a humane way of getting rid of mice, I had to let him go back into the wild so that he can go intrude someone else's house (hopefully not ours!) I had a little fun titlting the box a watching him try to climb up before I let him go though. Now it would be nice to say that this was the end of the story, but it was not. As I was playing with the mouse in the box, I felt a small fury thing brush over my foot. And as I looked down I just caught a glimpse of ANOTHER mouse running past!!! Can you believe it!! I can't believe another mouse had the guts to run over my foot!!! I had to go wash my feet before I could go to bed. Yuck! I told you there was an army of mice in the walls and I am not joking!! We will see if the box can catch multiple mice. I am going to have to start getting violent if this box thing doesnt keep them from coming back!
