RIP

There is a somber feel around the house tonight. After a month or more of eluding us, we finally got the mouse. It avoided the snap traps. We avoided chemicals (because of the Fuzz) and glue pads (just too cruel, as they're still alive). So out came Old Faithful, an old fashioned wooden trap that had a very high success rate of catching mice and fingers. But after a few weeks Old Faithful didn't appear to be quite so faithful in the mice department (fingers, it got plenty of). All hope seemed lost. And then it was discovered a certain husband wasn't setting Old Faithful correctly. So a certain wife decided to set good ol' Faithful and lo and behold after less than 24 hours of doing so, we had our mouse.

RIP, mousie. I hope you enjoyed all the free peanut butter while it lasted.

Wow. It is the time of year for rodents! Jason's room got broken into over break; pots were knocked over and one of his juggling balls was ripped apart. In his roommate's room, four of the five electrical outlets no longer work.

They just found the varmint about an hour ago. It's a raccoon o_0 Jason's going to be sleeping with the neighborhood cat (which is adorable and who they've basically adopted) for the second night in a row. He's scared of the raccoon roaming around in the night and messing more things up.

He moved in during the bitter cold snap and refused to move out. Thankfully, he wasn't as destructive as a raccoon. Though we did discover he had nibbled away at one of our couch cushions, the stinker. :-L
