It was massive, and falling down around our ears even though he was a builder!!! Well one night we heard rummaging in the back room and even though he is 6’4” he made me go and have a look. It was mice! As soon as I put the light on they were all over like some horror story.So the next day he went out and got a trap and put cheese in it. That night he checked his trap, nothing! The cheese had gone and no mouse. Wonderful.So, I had an idea! I went along to the pet shop and there was a toy mouse. It looked so real! How could I resist??I carefully removed the cheese from the trap, inserted the toy mouse and put tomato sauce all over it to look like it had been really caught in the trap.That night when he came in I announced that I had heard a noise and thought that the trap had a catch. He carefully went into the room and shouted for me to come and look. The trap had infact caught a mouse. Wow, he said, that trap is a bit severe. I just wanted to burst out laughing but couldn’t! He carefully put on a pair of heavy industrial rubber gloves to remove the mouse! As he slowly opened the trap I quickly jumped forward the grabbed the ‘mouse’ by the tail and playfully smacked it around his face. He nearly had a heart attack!! It was so funny. He called me all the names under the sun, but it was worth it so see the look on his face! He nearly died laughing afterwards and so did all of our friends when I told them.Hope this makes you laugh, I’ve got plenty more where that comes from, my daft head!!Take care

reader, anonymous, writes (8 March 2008): Well, we've got a plague of rats here (any more than two is a plague - right?) and I have live capture and killer traps out for the little beggars. The only problem is that the hedgehogs are coming out of hibernation and they enjoy a small meal of peanut butter just as much as the rats do.
Now, the main difference between a hedgehog and a rat as far as killer traps are concerned is that the killer trap just bounces off the hedgehog's head, and the bait disappears, whereas the rats meet a very quick end. Very costly in terms of jars of peanut butter when there are hedgehogs around. In my mind's eye there are a load of hedgehogs wearing crash helmets lining up to go to their favourite restaurant - ie. behind my garden shed to empty the traps!

 Hey There!
Thanks for the laugh! It reminded me of our life overseas!
We have a 95 year old home in the Netherlands and while we were living there, the water tables were raised, driving a lot of the little creatures indoors. The first time my daughter and I saw one, it walked in front of the fireplace in our family room, stood on it's haunches and stared right at us. As typical girls, we both screamed, put our feet up on the couch at the same time - and said "Oh, it's so Cute!". Unfortunaly, there is no such thing as one mouse! There were little inserted glass lights recessed into the wood ceilings in our living room. On Christmas morning, as we were opening our gifts, I noticed a little half circle of shadow off the corner of one light - and a long skinny curl coming out of that shape. I remarked to husband, I hope that it's not a dried-out mouse. They opened the ceiling panel and Yes - it was an ex-mouse. We decided that it had eaten our peanut-butter and poison trap bait and much like coconut, had died and become a Dessicated Mouse! That was only one of many yucky mouse stories. We bailed out our basement after one of many floods and found that we had been standing in Mouse-soup! We had never had to handle mice until this home. We planted traps along the wall where they ran and waited. I generally handled the final departing and disposal of the little souls. My daughter was very concerned that she would have to take care of the disposal and worried about the suffering of the poor captured things. I would bag them and quickly put them out of there misery, but she did not have the stomach to put them to an end (she was 13 at the time). I told her - "If you find a mouse in a trap that has not died and is suffering, run and grab the kitchen mitts (we'll throw them out) and take the mouse out to the canal in the front of the house. Just throw the trap and the mouse into the canal. Drowning is probably one of the quickest and most painless deaths there is." Well, of course the next day she had to deal with one on her own. She called me on my cell phone and said that one had been caught in the trap and was really disturbed and suffering, it had been very injured but she could not bring herself to dispose of it. I told her again about the plan and she kept the phone on her shoulder while she got the kitchen mitts and tried to throw the mouse into the water - to meet It's maker. The best laid plans... !!! She then started to cry, telling me that the mouse was swimming in circles with the wooden trap floating and acting like a little-mouse-life-buoy!!! Needless to say, she now lives in a similar house (university slum) and has finally come to terms with putting the poor little things out of their misery, which might been a real shock if we hadn't lived in our mouse-house in Wassenaar, NL.
Hope you Newlyweds are living the good life!
