Mouse hunt

OMG! I had a vermin encounter today. I was walking in my house when I noticed a small black rodent slip into a tiny hole below my backdoor.

Of course I did the only logical thing there was to do in the situation; I screamed.

I also grabbed a spatula from my grill and hit the door frame a number of times hoping that the mouse would get scared and run out. Then I got scared that if the mouse ran anywhere, it might be into the house, in which case I would have had to spend the night in a hotel. So I slammed the back door and ran around to the front door to get my BB gun.

Yeah, I have a BB gun...doesn’t everyone?

Anyway, as I was running out of the house, I noticed that my neighbor was outside. I can only imagine what she thought after she heard me screaming, swearing and yelling, “get out of here!” only to see me running out of the house seconds later with a gun in hand.

When I went back around to the front, I noticed that my neighbor was in her driveway on the phone. I’m not sure who she was talking to, but it’s quite possible that she thought I’d committed some sort of atrocity and was calling to report my actions.

With that in mind, I probably shouldn’t have picked today to start digging the hole for my new pond.

Then again, they may have free WIFI in jail...
