After 2 more attempts of that little fucker not only licking the peanut butter off the trap, but being smart enough to NOT try for the wedged peanut, I went downstairs this AM and saw that there was a missing mousetrap....with 2 droppings where the trap had been
Then I looked closer...and found the empty mousetrap floating in the sump pump water below.
Then I looked closer and saw a little mouse floating as well.
As far as I can tell, Stuart Little managed to avoid getting his neck smashed, only to shit himself, fall off the shelf and in to the water below and drown.
In the words of John-Paul Sartre: "Au revoir (mouse)!)"
It's the little things that make me so happy
(now I just have to get Brad to get that mouse out of the water before the sump pump sucks him up and he clogs the pipe, flooding my basement)

Is it wrong to laugh so hard at the demise of another living creature? Stuart Little... au revoir!
Lara
Ha!
But this was NOT a little thing. Be happy! But keep the traps set a little longer. He may have had a family of varmint trainees.

I always tell dh - I take care of vomit and poop and other unsavories like that - but HE is in charge of mouse carcass removal. We used to have mice in our old house (it was over 100 years old) and a cat who liked to decapitate them. HIS job to remove it. Yuck!

Does it mean that I'm sadistic because I laughed and snorted a little of my morning's SlimFast shake out my nose? Thanks for the (shits) and giggles.
Say What?
I'm really glad you didn't have to resort to Varmint shaped plastic explosives to get rid of the critter.
RIP Stuart and all your mousey little friends that try to steal Girl Scout Cookies!

Does Darwin Awards cover non-humans? I'd vote for this one.

Tara: nope - not bad. As my friend (and my borther's girlfriend) Rebeca said : they're vermin! They're fuckers! kill 'em all (yes - I am applying for the presidency of PeTA next week!)
Lara: I don't know if he had a family, but he surely has a friend. As if in sympathy, I found 2 more dropping right where Stuart Little shit himself
Pammy: no you're not sadistic! And I love the blonde hair....does this mean that you have now been completely California-ized?
Say What: nobody steals my secret stash of Samoas/Caramel Delights! Not at $.50/cookie they don't!
BusyDad: If not, then there are a whole bunch of mice in MouseHeaven giving this mouse an atomic wedgie right now!
Pammy Girl
I go back and forth with the blond but what has really California-ized me is the permanant sand lodged in my butt crack from beach attendance 3x per week.
