Ok, so the other night, I got woken up twice. Did I hear the scratching of tiny feet? Nope, because the little blighters are running around on the carpet.

In a word, our lodgers are mice. So the hubby was sitting in his office and turned only to be stared down by a little furry mouse, who stopped, looked at him in the eye then Carried on his business! Cheeky little thing, so I put down a humane trap, but he was crafty. He managed to get into the trap, grab the food and escaped! He's getting a bit crafty, I'm starting to feel like we have the brother of the house that was in the film "mousetrap" with lee Evans. :(|)
 
I'm now considering providing a menu for them, a foot print on the selection for next days food choice!:)). That or they'll start eating bits of the house.

Might have to give them names.

I keep singing, there's a mouse, a mouse in the house, a mouse in the house right there, or is it stairs, I can't remember.?
:(|)
 
We had an issue with house guests like that once.
They were so brave they used to run about and play right near our elderly cat.
Tikey was 17 and just wanted to sleep. Cunning little mice really took advantage!
Trouble is they looked so cute we didn't have the heart to do much about them.
They soon left 'home' once our Border Terrier, Ellie, came to live here.
 
That's ok, the bottom lawn is already looking like a community pitch n put range...what with the squirrels. mallethead

Ellie could also bark her head off and annoy a one but neighbour for me.

;)

Oh yeah we're overrun with them and rabbits. Oh and we have sheep and bulls, but I'd keep her away from them. It's fair to say we have more animals than humans in our village xx>>>.

I'm really selling it now aren't I?! :x
