Pretty funny. Atleast it wasn't rabid.

while i feel your pain, i can't help but laugh at your story! and i'm so sorry for that! LOL

it was the morning of my BD, i was just wandering into the kitchen to refill my coffee cup and then go to the table in the alcove and ponder life......and a danged >>starts with an R, larger than mouse<< ran RIGHT PAST MY BARE FEET in my own freakin' KITCHEN! i sprinted to the stool, giving my patented three octave rodent alarm call and then yelled for DH.

he didn't seem nearly as concerned...it's like no wait you don't get it, it MUST be removed. he's like, how am i supposed to find it Tess? you could start be LOOKING? so my terror subsides and now i'm taking some folded laundry to the spare bedroom and dang if something in the corner doesn't move. WHILE giving my 3 octave yell i also leap into the air and backwards, sure i covered a good ten feet and landed on the bed, still holding the laundry.

DH comes in with the dogs this time (these same GREAT dogs that can tree squirrels, chase cats, and various other critters OUTSIDE failed to notice they had one INSIDE???) and the chase is on. blasted thing came running right towards me again, so me and the laundry flew to the couch in the living room. flipping thing escaped.

so i'm nagging at DH to GET IT and he's like what do you want me to do Tess? what do i want you to do??? well first the only purpose for having men around is pickle jars and rodent removal and i'm not in the mood for a pickle right now so your sole purpose on the planet is now eliminate the rodent, get the #@$#!#!!!! out of my !@#@#!! house! put on the cammo gear, grab the rocket launcher and KILL IT.

he said i made too big a deal out of it. i don't see how that's possible to make TOO big a deal out of vermin scampering about. don't know where it went. he did finally get some traps and stuff. no idea how it got in. while i'm sure that if it had expired in the house we'd notice the smell i am still very cautious about what i move around and lift because i'm sure the dang thing will leap out at me again!!!!

Oh, I feel your pain... yes i do.

LOL Sorry but that is funny.

We have had a mouse in the house before.
Finally caught it on a glue trap not a nice way to catch them.
Then ds #2 was given the job of putting it down.

I hope someday you can laugh at yourself too like I am laughing! I am also very afraid of mice and I have been hysterical over the sight of a dead mouse in the trap! Something about those dead beady eyes creeps me out. I could see the same thing happening to me that happened to you but I would have went tearing up the stairs before taking another peek at your "mouse" !
