Christmas and Ma's birthday went well, although I think the latter aged me prematurely.
In the interim the house caught a mouse, or worse several mice. Now I have on hand three dogs and a cat.
The cat can be excused as she's very aged and blind. Nanoq the great dane has breeding to excuse him, no one ever claimed these huge dogs had any hunting instinct. Come to think of it the only instincts I have seen him display concern food and the softest place on the couch.
The other two damndogs are SUPPOSED to be a form of terrier. Mickey has a nervous temperament, diabetes and limited understanding.
WINNIE has none of those problems to excuse her bland dismissal of the mouse. I've explained to her that the mouse is an intruder, I've taken her to the mouse sighting area. I've been found at the back door exhorting her to catch a mouse for mommy. After I thought about that little scene, I decided to get mouse traps.
I'm leaving for the mouse eradication store shortly.

Good luck to you! We had two dogs (an English Springer and a setter/retriever mix) and an ancient cat who ignored the repeated parade of mice at our last home. Came from living near a grain silo...
