IT'S OFFICIAL #Mouse

[Bonochick]

There's a mouse loose in the office. This is like the best day ever!!!!!!!!

 

[Sicy]

You should go find a cat

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'll send Mia up - I might as well let her have one animal since Joey is off limits.

 

[Bonochick]

Said to me by the returning receptionist & maintenance man...

"We figured everybody would be screaming, and you'd be naming it."

His name is Milton.

 

[Bonochick]

Okay, the maintenance guy just put down like a totally ancient looking trap...it is so gonna kill Milton. I gave him the sad, pathetic puppy dog look, to no avail.

Come on, Milton...we have automatic doors that are so sensitive they go off when a friggin' leaf blows by. I know you can find your way out safely.

 

[Sicy]

!!!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Sounds about right!

The you naming it bit, that is.

 

[Bonochick]

They put the trap under someone else's desk, so that I can't sabotage it. What kind of a person do they take me for?

 

[Bonochick]

HA HA!!!!

Milton just set off the trap, but he's not there!!!! He just got himself some lunch and took off.

 

[JessicaAnn]

Can't they use a human trap so you can set it free in the country?

 

[RavenBlue]

Go Milton!

 

[Bonochick]

They don't see the point in spending money on a humane trap when we have these old mousetraps, I guess.

I have a feeling Milton is gonna be just fine though.

 

[Sicy]

What did you do...

 

[cell]

hehe...

 

[zoney!]

She gave him a little motorcycle!

??? I don't want a mouse!

 

[meegannie]

Did you move his desk so he couldn't see the married squirrels?

 

[redhotswami]

I had a mouse in my old apartment. I put some peanut butter in a paper bag. That is about as humane as I can get on a low budget. When I heard the bag crinkle I picked it up fast and set him free outside.

I got another mouse a few weeks later though

 

[Bonochick]

I found Milton in the trap this morning. I had left crackers on the floor around my desk, and he had some, but he obviously didn't take the hint that my desk was the safe place to hang out.

Rest in peace, little guy.

Haha that sounds like how my boyfriend's roommate caught a few mice in their room last year. He'd take a mostly empty bag of chips and leave it in the middle of the room and go read on his bed. When he heard it crinkling he'd grab it and take the mouse not just outside, but right near another dorm. He did this several times, we'd always get blow-by-blows for the struggle to grab the bag, keep the mouse in it, etc.

Aw crud

 

[cell]

aww that sucks.

this brought back memories of when my cat psycho brought in a mouse and set it free in my living room. after much screaming standing on the couch and daisy laughing at me, i got a coffee can and trapped stuart little and set it free in my back yard. psycho wouldnt look at me for a week. memories...

I once had a chipmunk in my house.

 

[Laura M]

Aw

 

[tiny dancer]

I was able to get him out of the house by leaving the basement door open, and it did get out. I didn't have the heart to set a rat trap to catch it.

 

[RavenBlue]

I saw a mouse Monday when I went out to shovel the yard. He was hanging around right by the door.. I guess hoping to get in.

This sounds so much as something a biologist like me would do
