Mouseflot goes awry

So our attempt to relocate the mice has had a bit of a tragic setback. After successfully moving a number of mice to the garage (or the same few over and over) we left the humane traps out for a few days while on vacation with what the Internet assured us would be a good amount of food.

However (you knew there had to be a however, right) we came home and I found one dead mouse in the trap, and the completely eaten carcass of another alongside him. It was like a very small horror movie. I've taken to calling the traps Moushwitz.

I was actually really upset last night when I found them, I did a lot of cursing. If I had wanted to kill a mouse, I'd have left out an inhumane trap. I can't imagine however much more inhumane death than, you know, being snacked upon by your brother.

Abby and I were trying to find something funny in all this tonight as I re-set the trap, putting some more peanut butter into it. Abby mentioned the cartoons where two people are trapped somewhere, and one of them turns into a big turkey in their mind.

Flashing back though to the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup ads of old I said "you got your mouse in my peanut butter" then added "and you got your peanut butter in OH MY GOD YOU'RE EATING ME!"

Sorry you had to come home to that. Who knew Jeffrey Dhamer was reincarnated as a mouse.
