Ok, I just finshed reading all of your archives, all I have to say about this one is eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww! I will say more though… The mere mention of the rodent gives me shivers over my WHOLE body. I agree with Cory, I am a farmgirl too, in Alberta. At one time we lived on the edge of town and had a broken window in the basement. I can’t even talk about it without wanting to vomit, really it was disgusting the number of mice in that house! I’m sure it’s too late to give you my advise which is pretty much the same as Cory’s. It’s been almost 2 weeks, PLEASE tell me you got rid of it?! Cuz as soon as the little vermin realized how Bed and Breakfasty your house is, he/she(?) ran back out to the woods to tell the rest of his waiting (and constantly breeding) family to come in and join the partay. Seriously, i.c.k.! I’m gonna go read the rest of your posts now…
I really do love your blog though, I would have voted but I didn’t find you until just after you won! I have been to both of the other 2 finalists blogs and you reallly did deserve the win! Congratulations!!

Wait, you FED the creature??? UGH!!! I’m all for pet critters – mice, gerbals, rats, whatever. I had a white rat in college. But, oh, the humanity when those guys get into your pantry. TOO disgusting!

Mice have mother’s, too, y’know. No doubt, she laments:

“You drank out of her contact lens case?!?!? Are you mental?!?! Don’t you realize how germy and full of ick humans are?!?!?! And I’ve read that the big female is a dirty tramp!”

So I guess your threat to Hattie that the mice will chew off her face while she’s sleeping no longer inspires fear?

That mouse is WAY cuter than the rat we caught under our house this week. But even the rat seemed innocent to me – just trying to eek out a living in the warmth of our crawlspace. And it reminded me, didn’t you have a fondness for a particularly special rat named Ripon?

Getting a cat is, of course, a great solution to your mouse. But, you must be prepared to see the cat catch the mouse. I saw this happen once, in 1986, and I have never been the same. Are you prepared to have your girls see the circle of life up close and personal?

Would you like to borrow our cat? He’s quite the mouser.

And your mother is right. Toss the lens case right now!
