An update on our war against the mice:
Since the two we found dead under the couch we have not seen or heard from any mice! That D-Con really gets the job done! And I guess it was a fluke that two of them died under our couch because we have been checking all over (and under) for lifeless little bodies and have found one. I guess they decided to die in the crawlspace like I wished for.
Before we got the D-Con, Bandit actually managed to catch himself two mice which is insane because those things are fast! Well tonight we got a surprise as we were sitting on the couch. I was watching a movie and Jared had the headphones plugged into the computer and was watching some youtube. I kept thinking I could hear a faint squeaking but thought it might be coming from Jared's ear buds.
Nope. I quickly realised that Bandit was on high alert by the garage door. I tapped Jared on the knee and tried to get Bandit to come to me but he went in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen from the other side while Jared pulled out his ear buds asking me what was up. At the sound of his voice Bandit pushed past me and went over to lay at Jared's feet and dropped what do you think?
Yes. That little blob is a half-dead mouse. The poor thing was barely alive and we kept letting Bandit play with it so I could take some pictures. I actually had a brief moment of pity for the little guy.
He was very proud of himself.
In related news, Bandit also caught my cell phone battery. I can't be sure if he got my phone apart or if JR maybe threw it on the floor and busted the back off it first. Either way it no longer worked.
I had a hard time getting a good picture of it though. The major holes were on the other side of the battery but those pics didn't turn out.
Our best luck with the ever-invading hoards of mice that cannot be ever be completely eradicated lies with our dog Howie. It turns out he IS useful for something after all (besides being so cute and boofy). -heidi<><
