Missing Mouse

One morning, I had woken up thinking I would go out into the kitchen to probably find another mouse stuck to a sticky trap.  I was wrong.  I should just stop assuming what my mornings or days will be like because it NEVER is the same as what I am thinking.  I was laying in bed not wanting to get up for the day.  Logan got up and walked out to the kitchen, made coffee, and went into his office.  I finally got out of bed, walked out to the kitchen and I said Logan come here.  So Logan came out of his office, and I said--wasn't there a sticky trap right there by the oven? (This was before I had lined all the traps up.)  Uhh yeah...there was a sticky trap there.  We looked all around the kitchen, behind the garbage can and everywhere we could think of...no mouse.  I figured it must have gotten stuck on the sticky trap but 2 of his legs weren't stuck and he crawled his way underneath the oven.

A few mornings later, I woke up and walked out into the kitchen and there was another mouse stuck on a sticky trap.  This time, this mouse had just been caught and was MOVING AROUND on the sticky trying to get off..EWWW!!! (This was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life...watching a mouse wiggle his body and move around to try and git off..absolutely disgusting!)  I yelled at Logan to hurry up and get out here before he moved underneath the oven too.  He was too slow! The mouse had crawled his way under the oven too!!! So now we had TWO mice, stuck on sticky traps UNDERNEATH THE OVEN!! SICK!!  

This was a Saturday, so Logan was getting ready to go outside for the morning and I was putting some clothes in the washing machine.  I looked over by the oven and I noticed a few mice legs sticking out.  I said QUICK get the mouse before he crawls back under again!! So Logan puts on his work gloves and grabs the legs.  He pulls it out, and here is the mouse that was still kickin' ALONG WITH another sticky with 2 mice on it! So this adventure led to catching 3 mice! SCORE!!

Farm Girl Tip # 16: If you catch a mouse on a sticky and it crawls its way underneath the oven, just wait about 15 minutes for the legs to appear, pull it out, and you will catch 3 mice!
