If you read one of yesterday’s posts, you’ll see that I wrote about birds on the bird feeder outside PawPaw’s house.  And what is necessary to maintain a often-frequented bird feeder?  Bird seed.  What other animals, besides birds, enjoy bird seed.  If you thought, “mice,” then you are correct in this instance.  Mice in the bird seed.  Of course PawPaw is rather careless with his bird seed.  He has the bag on the floor of a bathroom that is seldom used, the top of the bag is not closed, and there is bird seed spilled on the floor.  He may as well have sent the mice an engraved invitation.

 This morning he heard the “sqeak, squeak, squeak” of a mouse (or mice) in the aforementioned bathroom, along with the sounds of little scurrying paws.

He brought his cat inside, but that didn’t help.  He left at 5:30 to fly to Indiana for the day on business.  My mission today, if I choose to accept it – and I do - is to buy glue traps and D-Con.  I had planned on spending part of the day at PawPaw’s.  However, the mouse changed my mind.  I have no desire to spend a day in a house with a mouse.  I’ll deliver/set-up the various mouse-entrapments – and then I’m getting the heck out of Dodge.
