Mice - God's Most Loathsome Creature
There is a mouse in our house right now. I can't even begin to express how much I HATE mice!!!!!!! I mean, loathe probably isn't even a strong enough word. Mike saw it last night about 10:00 run behind the TV from the kitchen. Needless to say, I got on top of a chair in what could be considered stealth speed. We didn't have any traps, so I left within about 3 minutes and headed to the store to get traps. I brought home 8 traps. We set four of them around the TV because Mike said it hadn't moved from there. I told Mike to try and scare it out from there so it would run into one of those traps. That little varmint passed every one of those traps and ran under the couch. From there, he ran behind the computer. Then he came out of there and now I have no idea where he is. When he came out from under the TV, we let Kramer into the house, but he's no hunting dog, that's for sure, and the most he did was sniff around and get mildly curious. All three of the dogs are in here right now and two traps are still set. I'm in shoes because I can't stand the thought of walking in bare feet when there's a possibility of a mouse running around here. Know of anyone who enjoys hunting mice?

My Mom & Dad have FREE cats who are excellent mousers. If you don't want one for keeps, they might be willing to loan you one. :)
Oh, and don't get me started on mouse stories.
definitely keep the shoes on... you don't want to step on one, trust me... It'll scar you for life.
I love how you assigned it a gender. I hate them, too! I think my fear of them goes hand in hand with my fear of frogs, though. I agree... loathsome creatures!!!
