day two



this is probably why
lauren is smarter than me
when we first saw mouse poop on the counter
i put the mouse trap on the counter
logical i thought
she said no
this morning i was glad she said no

tonight we had no kills
maybe they saw our blog and spread the word
maybe there were only two
only morning will tell

but i went to lowes this morning
and bought the old school wooden traps
the new school plastic grabbers
and a mini have-a-<3 live trap
i put all three out
now the mice have a choice
of which way they'd like to exit
this world hey now know
if they choose to go for the choke hold
i will feel a little less sad
if they choose the plastic see-saw
they will ride with me to work in the morning
and enjoy the field behind the warehouse

i do not miss this at all!
lift the hood of your stove... check if poo is in there.... that's where they were living when we were there.
