Ryder News for Feb. 6, 2020
I
walked into my bathroom Saturday night and saw a very brave mouse run
across the floor and into the hallway. He went behind a stand that I
have in the hallway so I hollered for the dog (didn’t call the cat as I
knew he wouldn’t come, he doesn’t respond well to a scream). When the
dog came, I cautiously pulled the stand out..no mouse. I had no idea
where it could have gotten to so I just left it and went to bed. I
figured the cat could do his job and catch it during the night and Lo
and Behold!! He did. Found the body on the living room floor Sunday
morning and disposed of it. Yay for the cat!
