Default BUT WAIT-- THERE'S MORE!


No, we cannot yet drop the curtain on the Night of the Mousies. I
heard a noise awhile ago, and switched on the light-- and saw Stinky
with *another* mouse in his mouth!

(Oh yes, and BTW, where the hell are all these mice coming from,
anyway? :P)

And-- YES! He was AGAIN headed straight for what seems to be the
designated drop-off-- MY SHOES.

This mouse was still alive, though, and when Stinky put it down, it
managed to hop out, and outrun him to behind the bookcase, and parts
unknown.

Stinky is now sitting in front of the bookcase, mightily willing the
mousie to come out again.

The adventure continues.

Unfortunately, mice may have taken up residence in your house, but it sounds
like Stinky is watching for that. However, it's also possible that field
mice are coming in from outdoors. I grew up in a rural area, and we had
this problem until we went through the entire house and stuffed steel wool
in every crack and hole we could find. You must literally "scour" the house
and fill in even the tiniest hole because mice can gain entry through
remarkably small spaces. Don't forget to look high (such as around light
fixtures in the ceiling) and low (such as openings around plumbing under
sinks or in basements)! Mice can't chew through steel wool and it is
flexible enough to completely fill a hole or crack, so it is superior to
other "caulking" materials.

That's what I'd want to know! It sounds like you're lucky to have a
hunter in the house.

He doesn't seem to be dispatching them very effectively, though...
