I have heard this little guy running around in the walls and such. Every now and again I would see him sprint from room to room.

I have never much minded mice. They're harmless for the most part.

But, I was watching tv and I dropped the remote and as I went down to pick it up the mouse was just sitting there on the carpet. I thought it was dead because mice don't just hang out like that. I banged the controller on the ground and he didn't move.

I got up to get a cup to catch him in or to put him in because, as I said, I thought it was dead. When I turned back it was gone. So I said oh well and went to sit back down. Then I saw him halfway under my footstool. I moved the lip on the bottom of the footstool and put a cup over him.

Now he's sitting in this McDonalds cup with lid on my counter. I have no idea what to do with this thing. I put a bit of bread and some lettuce in the cup until I figure out what to do with it.

Any suggestions? BBQ? Freedom? Peta is only 7 miles from me, maybe I should call them?

just take him and put him in your neighbor's house

It'll chew through that cup I bet.

Just let it go outside, I guess.

haha. That's be hilarious to bring it to the neighbors.

I think the thing is on it's last legs though because what kind of mouse just sits there and doesn't run away. I am gonna put him by the river under an oak tree. That'll be nice. Even if it dies, at least it'll have a nice view.

Also, you should go out like Brooks in the Shawshank Redemption for having to ask this question...

Joe Was Here

haha. I didn't HAVE to ask it, smartass. haha. It is a BORING saturday so far.

Maybe he just wants to be your friend. Just hang out with him a bit, spin him on your record player. Good times.

this reminds me of my brother. He used to have an iguana. He is an electrician and fits the typical construction worker stereotype--smells of alcohol at 8am, rather heavy drug use, etc--and has one of those igloo coolers that are like the size of the big gulp cups. He'd put the iguana in the cooler, put the top on, take a hit off the bong, and then blew his "change" into the cooler. After about 30 minutes he'd take the iguana out and put it on one of the arms of the ceiling fan followed by turning the fan on at low speed.

You got me there. It is a boring ass Saturday.

I used to think mice were cute, too, until they started to get out of hand in my house (I live in the country). They eat your food, piss and shit on your clean dishes and spread disease.

Get rid of it- kill it if you have to, but don't let them suck you in by being cute.

And don't get me started on rats.

Send it to Opa.

I put him out by the river like I mentioned and as soon as I slid him out of the cup he started like freaking out and slowly but surely stopped breathing. I wonder if he ate some poison in the house nearby or the shed outside or something.

He looked at me right before he stopped breathing and had this weird convlusion thing happen. I can't imagine how horrible it must have been to have me as it's last sight in the natural world.

It was pretty sad.

pet

Give it to someone with a big snake.

A bunny died while lying on my stomach once.

Squash his head
Put him in the pot

i don't put deceased animals in my stash, brah

You must have better shit than I do

not necessarily, dead mouse just isn't the flavor I go for.

Let My People Go!

I laughed out loud at this. Poor iguana. You and your brother, not so good with animals, huh?

at least my cases have been accidental. haha. I think my brother has some psychological issues. haha

...now that sounds like a dangerous stomach...what's the story?

He was old and sick. I decided to take him out of his cage and hold him for a bit, because he looked like he was in pain. I laid on the couch with him on my chest. Not long after, he convulsed and passed away.
