Go to TAPS' Take

I do hope Mr. Mousie has moved to new quarters! And TAPS, I do get the nosebleeds, big time, and I sympathize with you. A doc once offered to cauterize my nasal passage. I told him, "No, thank you." LOL.

Re: Nautikos
Aye, I'd be havin' a luv o' ye ol' Hie' lands since I 'as a wee on'. An' be 'avin' a crush on ye ol' Robbie, if ye mus' ken. His is one o' me most favor'd ol' tomes. Yet me mam twa' o' the land o' Erin, in part! Ah, weil, twa' all be th' same, methinks!
And about the mousies, I once won 1st place in a tri-county science fair w'me mousie exhibit/experiment. The wee things don't bother me. Tis the wild rats I dislike a bit, in me home.

On prospects drear!
An’ forward tho’ I canna see,

Well I hope you are better Taps because I do not like to tell you this . I think what happened to your mouse was the critter was knock away by the trap and probably died in its dennal. The best trap to buy if you ever want one or a dozen is called The little Nipper on Amazon it has a raised platform and the mouse stands on it so there is no injury as I have found with other traps the poor little things can be trapped by their leg and it is then a job to find them if they drag it away. Of course you could tie a piece of string to the trap but when the little fellow looks up at you in that condition it is a bit horrible to have to bash him in cold blood so to speak . Of course if you are squeamish you could buy a trap that catches the varmints alive. Personally if I do that I just take them down the road and let them find different lodgings.

I am so sorry your day was ruined, but I must tell you: I'm glad that mouse got off with no more than a scare, apparently. See, I like 'em as much a Robbie Burns probably did - I even had one as a pet once...And I see RP's Highland ancestry is coming out, LOL...
