so, my fabulous husband has a hobby. collecting old rusted out land cruisers. it tends to be a hobby that starts out with a dream, but ends up being clutter in our garage. i do love this hobby for him… his eyes light up when he sees one on craig’s list or ebay. i see his passion in it.
well, last saturday he calls me outside, he had been out staining our fence and had the garage open. the color had somewhat left his face as he tells me he saw a mouse in our garage. jason has a fear of mice. he despises them. so i ventured in to look for him. there he was next to 4 large tires-off of our latest and most beautiful of all the land cruisers-we are thinking he hitched a ride in one of them to our house, or he came from the church garage in some of the other lc paraphernalia.
he was a cute little guy. well, i thought that until he ran up to the front of our house and up the rafters into our attic. then, i wanted him gone. i could just envision him up in the attic chewing through all of my Christmas decor, and i couldn’t let that happen. jason wanted his body maimed in a trap that would cut his body in two…but i have a weird soft spot, and i also knew that I would be disposing this maimed body because he wouldn’t come near it.
so i went on a search for a trap… as humane as i could find. i found the mouse cube. you put some bait inside and the little vermin goes in and gets stuck… then you can release him without killing him or touching any part of him. so of course, i spend the $1.99 for it and jason set it up last night.
we have been sick all day today and i totally forgot about our little friend. but jason hadn’t. he asked me to go check the traps. there he was… stuart little.. i took the little guy for a ride around the block and let him go in the woods. jason just rolled his eyes at my satisfied grin. but we are mouse free and no one was harmed in the process.

You rode with him?!!!
i did! he was safe and trapped in his little box…jason said the same thing!
oh, look at the cute little guy!!!
you should of told jason he got out in the land cruiser…then it would of been yours…even though that would be slightly selfish…and a lie
Did the boys see him? One day they may request a pet like him. I seem to remember snakes spending an occasional weekend at our house (brought home from school) and a hamster or two. And remember that was from two daughters.
Oh gross! I am sure Jason was about to pass out! How funny. You are the the WOMAN!
I would have NEVER carried it in my car. There is nothing like the sound of the trap bringing the smack down on the nasty little beast!
