mice

The grays are winning. Time to wage battle.

The house is slowly getting back into order. I managed to put away a bunch of laundry and straighten some of the piles. Ken moved Hal’s habitat to his new shelf and put a lot of the electronics in place. I am trying hard to not whirlwind clean everything since that is how it all gets Monicaed.

We appear to have a mouse problem. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. How in the fuck does a house with 6 cats, 2 dogs and even a snake have any kind of “pest” problem? What is even funnier is that said mice don’t seem to even be making themselves pests. I have found droppings in multiple places, including on the counter top near the loaves of bread that have remained untouched. Random, right? They reside in our home and don’t seem to be making a nuisance of themselves. I know there are mice in the garage. We have found evidence of them out there in the form of half eaten bags of chips we stored out there. But the fact that they have not gotten into anything in the house itself makes no sense.

It does explain one incident that happened recently, though. Ken found Breezer wandering around with a dead mouse in her mouth. She was quite proud of it and we just assumed she had managed to get into the mouse tank that she watches endlessly. It now seems that she probably caught one of the visitors.

I like it when Bobby gets to draw for his homework. He drew this and it made me smile.
