I will never feel clean again.
I was trying to take a nap as I keep getting up at 2 am to dispose of dead mice.
Zoe the chihuahua suddenly becomes uber excited. This iritates me as I think she's decided to play with my underwear again.
I hop out of bed to yell at her when what RUNS over my foot but a MOUSE! O_O
I always thought it was silly when people screamed over a mouse in the house but I just shrieked unholy hell. XD
The mouse keeps running from one little hiding place to another- most of them, unfortunately, being clothing I had thrown on the floor.
A practice I shall never resume.
I point out the mouse when Zoe loses track, scream when it moves, and after a few tense minutes the mouse flees from my room. Pleased at least with this I run out and close my door.
I go after Zoe to find her on the stairwell with- get this- the mouse. Dead.
Didn't expect that, really.
Good work, mouse catcher Zoe!
Now the hard part.
She starts running from room to room in absolute ecstasy with her prize, pausing only to chew on the pathetic little corpse for a moment.
So I chase her back upstairs, unfortunate that the door to my mother's room did not completely close.
Under the bed Zoe goes. Out of reach.
I went and got an apple core since she loves apples. I hoped she would leave the dead thing alone.
Back upstairs I find her running from room to room again- looking at the walls.
Please, God, don't let the walls of our house be filled with mice.
And please let Mom deal with the dead mouse under her bed for once. XD

And that is my excitment for the day.

Bye
