A mouse in my house..


Or maybe it was a rat... All I know is that I have the lovely experience of having it in my presence twice in my house. It is one thing to see a rodent in your everyday life out on the street. It is another having it in your bed and climbing your curtains. I do not consider myself queemish. But i surely, screamed when I saw that Flash had brought the rat in again. It was climbing my curtains and then made a dash for the heater. I tried to see if I could find him there.. but it escaped my grasp being in the crawl space of the wall and my floor. My neighbor Griffee and I turned on the heater 8 hrs later to see if he was there. But he seemed to have escaped heater and found his way out into one of our garages.
But we were wrong..
.. 2 AM rachel sits up in bed and yelps. What is wrong Rach? Nico just dropped something on me and it ran over me...
I realize that he is still in our house. The cats are taking corners in my room and passing the mouse back and forth. I build a bridge towards the bathroom out of a painting and several suitcases I have ... oh the joys.
I trapped Nico and the mouse into the bathroom. I found a trash can and my ministry- with sympathy LP. Trapped that rat and released him.
The next day I was off to hike and there was this mouse next to the curb. He looked like he was meditating or dying... I wasn't sure. Is this the animal that was in my house.. I never will be sure. Poor little mouse....
