Ahh!!!! A mouse!!!

When Cache was a puppy she would catch mice at the farm. It was gross and creappy! I put out mouse traps and caught most of them (1 a week or so) and she stopped catching them.

Until today.....

Actually, I am pretty sure that the mouse was already dead because I smelled something funky (i.e. dead mouse smell) but decided to make S look harder when he came home.

And then- it happened...

I turned around and Cache was standing over her prize! A gross, medium sized field mouse (dead of course).

So I shooed her outside and then created an attack plan. I chose to scoop it up on newspaper and then shove it in a plastic Wal-Mart sack (now I am glad I have a few around!).

Into the trash and the trash went outside to the DOG PROOF trash bin!

Eww... MICE!

*On a sad note- it made me think of Hammy! I miss Hammy! I can't even go into PetsMart without being tempted to get a new one- but as this proves small rodents and dogs DO NOT go together.
