humans 1 - mouse 0

i am a horrible friend.  last night, one of my best friends, Jay (short for nothing), text me this message, "i have a fucking mouse in my house!"

what did i do?  i giggled. 

you see, Jay hates 'creatures'.  when i say creatures i mean, non human creatures - okay, she tolerates 'the Miss' but i do mean tolerates (kidding j; she's VERY good to The Miss). 

so when she texts this message i nearly spit out my fabulous wine = bad thing.

i happen to have a visual - Jay is on the back of the sofa, feet up (which p.s. feet are not allowed on the sofa) because the idea that a rodent is roaming her house is just enough to send her to the looney bin.  of course a good friend, not me, would be sympathetic, but no, i laughed at the idea that she was being held hostage by a creature that was, frankly, more scared of her than she of it.

my text messages continued for a bit longer...

her: i'm moving out

me: i'm sorry!

her: i hate mice

me: me too

her: how did it get in

me: they have no spine, he probably just flattened himself out

her: see why i hate mice!

i am now concerned.  thankfully her family is nearby and dad came to the rescue - dads rule!

this morning i got a text message:

humans - 1; mouse - 0

all is right in the world again.

Have to say I agree with Jay. If it were me, I would have gone to a fancy hotel and drank alot. Then call a moving company and find a new place to live. Don't get me wrong, I tolerate other people pets,. Dogs, cats, birds, fish etc... Mice and rodants simply don't count and should never share residence with us somewhat human types. So Jay sit back, relax have a stiff one and let Lori live with the bird:) I do lover her so/.

My "attack" cat once sat on the mouse I was expecting her to protect me from as I was wearing Scout's boots that came up to my knees lest the critter touched me.
