She and I would then head downstairs to the treat closet (which is also the laundry and general storage closet) and I would go through a pile of different treats - none of which she wanted. She would stand there, staring up at the closet and both of us would be frustrated.<BR/><BR/>A month or so after we lost her, Darren went to get some granola bars from the closet. And discovered that a mouse had chewed away the corner of the box and helped himself. And that was what Holly was wanting. I apologised to her posthumously.Kathy Kreegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000674494121603602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-37659076680395667522007-11-01T23:17:00.000-05:002007-11-01T23:17:00.000-05:00Motionless mice are not a problem for me either. ...Motionless mice are not a problem for me either. But let one of those little suckers zip my me, or run near my foot, and I have to EEEEK! I feel pretty dumb, because it sounds just like that too, it makes me feel so stereotypical.<BR/><BR/>If I feel feel a bit of spiderweb on me, and I have very special and interesting Spider Dance, as I leap around, beat at my clothing, and shake out imaginary black widow spiders. The dance is free of sound effects, but pretty startling to anyone nearby, because it looks like I've suddenly just lost it.<BR/><BR/>Those mice, as soon as it gets cooler out, they want to come inside and get comfortable.

My servant has been reading your blog but this time, she is laughing so hard and wiping her eyes, I decided that I'd better respond. <BR/><BR/>We had a house mouse a couple of<BR/>winters ago. Though not afraid of mice, she decided I should do my Whippet duty and take care of the little creature. She had heard great stories of Nell and Tonka of Wild Aspen and how they regularly took care of field mice that had strayed inside their servant's home. "Sighthounds are prey driven" she was reminded.<BR/><BR/>Well, she didn't know that I am only cat and squirrel-driven. Mice? What are mice? (They do look a bit like family, I agree.) Well, she finally had to resort to a trap along the baseboard, while trying to keep me out of the peanut butter bait. Now, squrrels are another matter and I helped loosen her tense shoulder muscles yesterday while on our walk. She said she has sympathy for you with your posse and the shoulder massages you get. I wonder what she meant?<BR/> Cordially,<BR/> Star the Wonder Dog (in WA)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-9595842680878307682007-10-17T17:29:00.000-05:002007-10-17T17:29:00.000-05:00Oh, WE had a mouse once too!

I'm not silly about mice (I used to have pet rats, and when I was really little we had mice in the house all the time), but if a bee or anything that flies and is the same size, comes near me, I freak out in the same manner. Outside. Usually with my 2 yr old son in his stroller. Oh my gosh. Oh, I also can reach some pretty high notes if a moth or june bug gets in the house. I usually end up hiding in the bathroom. Silly bugs.

I didn't know what he was on about so I went to have a peak and saw a FURRY PINK TWITCHING NOSE only inches from my face...I still get shivers just thinking about it. I was screaming and standing on the kitchen island in a matter of seconds. "Get it Jack! No, wait! Don't get it Jack!" Mr. Jack kept watch in the kitchen all week until we were able to catch it. Our neighbors said that they'd been having problems too. We figure it's all the old houses and new construction going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
