Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion Helpful Tips mighty mouse

well, you got a point regarding scurrying mice,

though we also have the real thing scurrying around our house too,
quite a brazen one that i think we finally caught in one of our live traps,
got a light brown one the first night, then a darker one who i think is the one that will come out in the evening even when we're sitting there in the living room with the tv and lights on, the brazen one alluded us for days if not weeks. old house with stone basement surrounded by fields, farmland, so yes, ever vigilant regarding mice, the real kind that is.

maybe the brazen one should have been named "mighty mouse" instead of "mickey".

thanks for the input on the avatar, going to change to yet another option now, let me know what you think. will reveal my "mystery ghost avatar creator" soon, if you haven't figured it out yet.

with 6230 posts at this moment (and probably more by the time I finish typing this ) thought it was time we started filling up some of that empty screen real estate!

and if not for your initiative, i would have been up to 12,000 with no identity

thanx Dow!

the brazen one...LOL.

the house I lived in before the current one...there were a couple of mice...the first time I saw one, it was out of the corner of my eye...saw some movement but when I looked directly there was nothing there. This happened several times (thought it was stress from recent divorce...LOL) Didn't think "mouse" until a couple of months later, when I found a chewed up box of crackers in the pantry. Out came the traps. I'm not humane when it comes to mice.

In the current house, we have 2 cats and no mice even though it's on an acre of grass. Only one dared to come in and they made short work of him/her.

I still like the first avatar, though this one is clever. No clue on your avatar creator....a little dense in this respect. I guess Dow, or maybe Mig. Unless Mookie is talented at photoshopping.

regarding the brazen one: we started out humane, only a live trap in the closet they seemed to like to hide in (seemed like a safe place for them between the kitchen and the living room). but then we needed to get more serious so we have a number of live and snap traps and figure fate will dictate. i'm pretty sure mookie dropping his pellets on the floor and us not being 100% vigilant regarding cleaning them up doesn't help matters. and if we had a cat, i'm sure that would help......in regards to the mice......but somehow i don't think mookie would take kindly to sharing the house with one of his predators......if only we could train mookie to scare away the mice.


while mookie may be an art aficionado, he doesn't quite have photoshop down yet, maybe next week.

i'll give you two hints:

go to: test

and he likes to stick his tongue out at people...ok, maybe just at me

Cute! Dow, you did good!
