Yesterday, while downstairs in the Family Room watching TV, I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye. A tiny dark coloured mouse scurried across the floor in front of me and hid under my chair. MY Jane was upstairs and Minñie was nowhere in sight – just when you need her.
It probably fell into the window well and then used Minnie’s window steps to get inside the house. We purposely leave that window open so Minñie can come and go as she pleases. We once had a baby rabbit come in the same way. Here’s a pic of Minñie and me checking it out under the buffet.
Jane caught it and we let it go in the back yard.
I decided to go to the hardware store to get a mouse trap. I contemplated getting the typical spring loaded trap that you bait with cheese, but, instead, opted for a live trap. I figured if I got the usual one, Minñie might get involved.
I baited it with peanut butter and now we wait.
