Sorry

Had to go back to mouse tails. He's still there. We thought we'd got him this morning and the she boss took one of her little boxes with the doors on for a ride in the car. She said she stopped by some horses cos she thought the mouse inside would like to live near them but then he wasn't there at all. HE'S STILL IN MY HOUSE! And what's more, he can read. We know because he chooses very carefully which packets he likes and he doesn't like everything. Tonight's the night. I can feel it in my bones

Let down

I failed. The mouse was around last night and I'd spent most of the night asleep on the stairs instead of being on watch. I'm surprised I got the nice breakfast I did this morning.
What I can't believe is that the she boss bought some chocolate for them!! That really confused me as I thought they were trying to get rid of them, not give them treats. It all made sense when I saw a little box she'd bought as it's all part of a cunning plan. She's put the box near their door under the stairs with the chocolate inside to tempt them inside then the door will shut and voila! They haven't been tempted enough yet though. Maybe tonight

More meeces

I had a visitor last night after we'd all gone to bed. One of those little meeces wandered into our kitchen of all places! That just isn't allowed so I got him. I was pretty excited to see the she and he boss when they got up this morning and showed them my good work. They were VERY pleased with me. It was nice to be able to do something for them in return for all the nice things they do for me. I'm certainly more effective than that trappy thing that the she boss leaves around outside. Aren't I a clever one? :-p

More mousing

The challenge is on. The she boss has put all the things the mouses used to eat on the shelves in boxes that they can't get into now. That means they've got to go somewhere else to find their food. Only trouble is, we didn't think they'd choose the house! I was just settling down for the night, having made sure the he and she boss were safely tucked in when a meecy ran through my kitchen!! I very nearly got him but it was dark and he ran out under the door. The she boss must have heard me and came down to check the mouse hadn't got me and told me I was very clever:-) ~~ (Waggly tail) and then set a little box in the garage which is supposed to catch him for me. It hasn't yet but lets see what tonight brings especially as it's tipping it down with rain and nothing wants to be outside. Certainly not me anyway. Although the he boss went out somewhere on his bike :-s

Champion Mouser

What a week! Last week, on one of those days when the she and he boss were both at home, they decided to have a clear out in the garage. We've got lots of shelves with some pretty boring stuff on and the she boss was cleaning and tidying all those up. It took ages but it got interesting when she picked up one of the boxes and two meeces jumped out. I just saw them as they ran past, too quick for me. She took the box in the garden and another mouse ran out under the bushes. I saved that one for later. She had a bit of a poke around and saw lots of baby meeces so took the box down the garden to put the nest by the field. When she went to take the nest out of the box, ANOTHER mouse ran out! That made 4!! and lots of little pink babies. When we went back to look the next day, they'd all gone. I hope their mummy took them somewhere safe and warm.
Anyway, I decided we shouldn't have any more mices sharing the house with me but wasn't sure how to sort it. Today, as luck would have it, the she boss took me to see that Beth in her new house and she's had a cat called Gary move in with her. Can't think why but I managed to have a chat with him and he gave me some tips. When we came home, I had a look around for those meeces and knew one was behind a box. The she boss came to help me and moved the box a bit. Wahey! That little fella ran out and I got it. Thanks Gary. Your advice worked. I left the she boss to make sure he was properly gone. Now I've got my space back to just me and the he and she boss. Perhaps I can be a hero now :-)
