Hey all! Did you learn any lessons today? I did. :) I learned that staying up very, very late because you’re pretty sure you just heard a mouse in your kitchen but you can’t manage to think of anything in your entire home to use to thwart it from burrowing into Bambino’s dog food other than a can of Matte Finish Spray Paint… is stupid and it’ll probably ruin your next day productivity.
Note: I didn’t use the Matte Finish Spray Paint, PETA. What I decided on (by unanimous vote-Bambo and I shook on it) was a Shock & Awe campaign utilizing a) one of Bambino’s tennis balls, b) two CDs carefully chosen for my willingness to lose them forever (“Presidents of the USA” + one of Honey’s CDs that I didn’t recognize, haha), and c)……
I barked at it. I barked at the mouse. I also hissed like a snake, and purrrrred like a cat. Naturally, right? I also sighed a lot throughout because WTF was I doing. It sucks at that moment when you realize you’re being an idiot. But on the bright side, Bambino slept really well. I think he had a little fear-by-proxy while we were holding down the couch fort so he was pretty exhausted after it all. This is what he looked like (this is a shot of Bambo and his papa, taken pre-HORRIBLE-Instagram-update-that-I-wholly-regret):
Any recommendations on getting rid of a mouse? I feel like those sticky tape traps are so inhumane, but we’ll take any suggestions you have. Thanks :)
