Mousehunt

We've had a mouse living with us for the last week or so...the other night he was under the sofa that I happened to be sitting on! There were 3 cats perched waiting to pounce, but the little guy was smart...he chose to stay safe under the sofa. Somewhere along the line, he opted to travel down to Adam's room. Little did he know, this was not going to bode well for him!

Earlier tonight, Adam went looking for his blow darts to eradicate him, but fortunately for Stuart(my new name for him), he couldn't find them! He came up about 10 minutes ago carrying the old gerbil cage...here he actually caught the mouse...LOL! He was rambling about some craziness involving string and a snack bag that had been laying on the floor and how he caught the little guy. He has some popcorn mini-cakes (cheddar flavor) in the cage and added some water. Kurt isn't feeling that Stuart's too secure in the cage....he's making him keep him outside tonight. He said if he doesn't get out of the cage tonight, then he can bring him in tomorrow.

I myself vote for release....far, far away :)

Awe, that is so sweet of Adam to catch him instead of killing him. I hope he can get free to live in the wild again. Safe travel there Stuart

Sue, you did see the part where he first was looking for his blow darts to kill Stuart, right!?!?

Turns out Stuart was gone by morning! Kurt figures he's back in the house....laughing at Adam! Joke may be on him: Kurt stopped on his way home from work and bought mouse traps :)
