A Mouse in the House

Literally, there is a mouse in the house....it all began like this....Chip and Dale were acting a bit weird. 


For instance, they would sit for hours watching their food dishes.   Or they would run in tandem to a specific spot and sit and watch.   Or they would try to get to a space which was obviously too small for them.  

Yesterday, while I was on the phone to a friend, Dale either constantly climbed up onto the printer (and no - it was not printing) or onto the tower under the desk for which there is no space.

Duh! 

I should have guessed that something was up, but no, I didn't...that is until this morning.   Chip and Dale were going crazy in the bedroom, jumping from one spot to another.   It still did not register with me, so I went over to the last place they were at, moved a box and YIKS!!!!!   A mouse, which Dale quickly grabbed.   Good kitty!!!   But then he let it go!!!!   

And after unsuccessfully trying to catch it under a wastebasket, we gave up.  We now have the house set up with catch and release mouse traps.   I will let you know when we apprehend the little critter.  


On a brighter note, we decided to take a little trip to the western part of the state.   Although the area was on the lowest scale of the foliage color, we found some beautiful areas.

 
 
 
 
 

Seems like only a few days ago when we were finding our spring signs...
