Mouse in the House!

[David C.]

I'm sitting by my computer one night when I notice a little black thing skittering along the wall.   Great, we've got mice.  So, I brought out the Have-A-Hart trap and baited it with the Zs dog biscuits (much to their consternation).    After a few nights with zero results, I woke up this morning to discover that the trap had sprung shut.  The problem was the mouse died while in the trap!   Maybe it suffered a heart attack or overdosed on the doggie biscuits.  So much for Have-A-Hart.   As I'm taking the trap upstairs to get rid of said deceased mouse, Zora was waiting for me at the top of the landing.   When I let her try to sniff the trap, not only was Zora not interested, she recoiled way from it.   Zeke was completely uninterested and retreated to his crate.   Dachshunds 1.0 (Rudy & Max) would have been driving me nuts trying to get a piece of the mouse, dead or alive.   Dachshunds 2.0 (Zeke and Zora) seem to be very unpredatory.   Zeke likes to talk the talk, but he seldom walks the walk.   Zora is definitely a lover and not a fighter, unless it comes to stuffed toys, in which case she mercilessly destroys them.

Well David at least you didn't have one jump at you a couple different times when you opened the dishwasher! Unfortunenately it didn't happen to me but to my brother in-law! We finally caught it a couple days later.Besides having 3 dachshies in the house we also have 2 cats that didn't seem to care to try to catch it.

hat bring back a memory...

I kinda live out in the sticks. It seems one fall I had an invasion of mice in the house. My dear departed Simon loved to hunt them down and chomp them up.

One morning I woke up at about 2:00 am to use the bathroom. So I'm standing there doing my business and I hear this eeek eeek eeek and in my sleep addled mind I'm thinking "what the hell". I finished my business, walked into the hallway and turned on the light. Low and behold I can't beleave my eyes.....two mice doing the shagnasty right in my hallway.

I'm like "SIMON, GET EM!" and he come flying out of the bedroom full speed, slid to a stop on the laminate floor and chomped both mice in mid coitus.

LOLOLOLOL

I miss that dog like nobodies business.

Zuzu sez:  Yes, they do go nicely wiff toast. I find they have a delicate taste of birdseed.

I just had to say I enjoyed this story immensely.  I'm laughing like a loon in the dark in my house so my neighbors think I'm crazy, but thank you for sharing the story!
