I'm in full gear to tackle our mouse problem, now. Will keep this cutie a day or two and see if I can catch more. Then we will take a trip to the lake where I will set them free. I need them far enough away from the house so the same ones don't keep coming back in.

What's your secret??? I think I'll need to know very soon. It's getting very cold & this is a very old house. I don't like even live traps, can't handle 'em, I may burst into tears... I'm quite squeamish because I'm afraid of accidentally hurting any beasties & I'm extremely easily startled. :eek:

This! Works so well. I caught a second one before bed and I'm about to see if I have a third.

I posted before about my roommate rescuing an elderly chihuahua that was dumped at the shelter. We later found out that they had given her the wrong dog, but that a rescue was taking the original one so not to worry about getting her. About a week later she ended up going when she found out they had lied and she was still there. She had no teeth so she hadn't eaten at all in that week and wasn't doing so well. :(

A week later she was doing much better. and the following week got adopted by a really nice couple who recently lost an elderly dog just like her. She was very high maintenance and wouldn't touch a bite of dog food, so we had to cook her meals (like that gross sausage), and her new family is doing the same. They said they usually give her three options, and had to do the same for their previous dog. :D

We still have the other one and she's up for adoption too, but there are lots of chihuahuas for adoption, so she'll probably be with us for a while.

The first picture is the original Kai who got adopted, and the second picture is of the two of them together (the original (smaller one) and the one with the mistaken identity (larger one)).

This is my Mom's new puppy Ben, given to her by some friends. Her dog Edward (a great dane mix) passed away about a month ago. Ben is a 3 month old black lab. My partner and I "babysat" him last Saturday and brought him to see Lake Superior his first time. He didn't know what to think of all that water. We had our dog Sable with and she "showed him the ropes" although her being 12 years old and him so full of energy she snapped at him on more than one occasion.

Is your mom up to a pup? Labs stay kids so long!

I'm kind of worried about that actually. My Mom is 71 years old, not in very good shape, and I used to nag her because she didn't walk Edward enough. He became very overweight in his last few years which really aggravated his hip dysplasia. I told her this dog is going to need a LOT of exercise, and being a lab dog, trips to Lake Superior for a swim are practically required. I don't know the circumstances around how these friends gave her this dog (surely they didn't just drop him off there one day). I don't know if it would offend her for me to ask. I have a feeling I am going to be visiting and walking that dog a lot. He's really a well behaved dog and extremely smart. Maybe Mom will let us bring him on camping trips. :)
 
Got one last night of LC in mid-"rroww".... fixed as best I could, it was pretty damn dark.

And Mojo's got new apparel! :) Here's his ultra groovy tie-dye thermal T for indoors.... :cool:

TieDyeMojo.jpg <---- It's too big on him... we call it his mumu. LOL :p

And his uber-toasty fleece-lined sweater for much chillier situations....

He didn't tremble/shiver at all yesterday... in fact he napped in his cozy sweater for a couple hours straight. :D

We only have one non-human animal in the family right now. Milo is our very affectionate, trouble-making best bud. We got him July 2015 from a local rescue that rescued him from a shelter in Arkansas. My guess is that he's a Border Collie and Retriever mix of some sort.

So glad I decided to take in this stray until Friday. He was living under someone's deck and with some networking, we found him a home but they are away for the holiday.

I was struggling with trying to not get involved...I've had a bit much on my plate, lately. But he is so sweet, not to mention absolutely gorgeous. The adopters promised me that they want him. Here's a peek...

Update on this guy, two years later. PJ is happy in his new home which makes me happy.
