"Of Mice and Men"
Whew. I just checked my mouse traps in the attic and reset them. Here’s the Mouse War score so far:
Thursday: Lizzie, my rat terrier, caught a mouse by the woodbox in the living room.
Friday: Lizzie was sniffing around Tim’s recliner in the living room. I tilted the recliner and Lizzie caught another mouse. She made short work of it, and lovingly deposited it in my recliner. Yeah, Lysol time.
Friday night, I set traps. Saturday was disappointing ... no luck.
Sunday morning: a mouse in the trap in the living room coat closet.
Sunday night: another mouse in the trap in the living room coat closet.
Monday morning: a mouse in each of the 2 store-bought traps in the attic, and 3 more mice in a water bucket trap that I rigged. (Sorry if this grosses you out, but under certain circumstances I am absolutely merciless, and growing more so daily!)
That’s a total of 9 mice so far. I’m going to have to start throwing those little buggers in the freezer and save them so that I can prepare a special stir-fry meal for Tim the next time he’s here. Tee hee hee. Whadda ya think? Wouldn't that be a "dainty dish to set before the king"?

You get those dirty turds!!! The mice must go!
You can make him a \"mouse Mousse\" LOL!! Did I really just type that outloud!
Nancy, you are not only a snake killer, but a mouse huntress! I would be freaking out if I saw one mouse in my house - but you don\'t let those little critters stop you - you take the war to them! Did you see the movie \"The Help\"? A woman made a very special \"pie\" for someone who had been mean to her. I think you might get some tips from it for your mouse pie!
Now now pilot, you\'re getting verrrry scary now.LOL!! Do you know there is a restaurant in china called \" Wok The Dog \" That\'s true too.So we walk the dog and they wok the dog . Haven\'t heard of stir fried mice before.We are coming to take you away ha ha.On a holiday of course.Hope you don\'t mind a virtual one because most of us can hardly move.Morebooks is our assigned holiday planner.Very professional. We have to kidnap you before Tim comes home for dinner.
Oh sorry, I probably shouldn\'t have mentioned that restaurant in China considering you\'re a dog lover.Hope I didn\'t offend you.Bye xo
Wow! Go lady go!! You are fantastically merciless, I am applauding you loudly! Good for you, get all the vermin out your life...ALL of it! I recently went to Glastonbury, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, they had crucified rats on little crosses all dried out, I almost RAN out of the shop, honestly it was one of the most disgusting things. Trap, freeze and feed to nasty people, that sounds good to me! ;) Much love xx
