Time of my Life

My whole life I've had cats eliminating the need to ever set mouse traps. Well, now I've only got a couple barkless dogs who would probably be more scared of a mouse than the mouse of them. A couple weeks ago I witnessed a mouse climb out from under the kitchen cabinets, run over to the dog bowl and steal a piece of food. After having my wife freak me out about the hantavirus I decided it was time to set traps.

This morning I awoke to find a little gray mouse with his little mouse head stuck in the trap. I was happy to see that the traps worked but then upon closer inspection I found that the other two traps had been cleaned of all food but had not trapped a mouse. Oh well. The little mouse was so cute I don't know if I could have dealt with the death of more than one of them at a time.
