Friendly Cow

Guys, firstly after being gone for a week on vacation and coming back to one of these great threads!!! I missed ya'll!!! You guys are cracking me up!!!!
Claudia, Hahahahahaha with what the cow says and does!
Rhy's, next time you will have to lasso that cow and ride it down to the stream, then lasso another, then ride them off into the sunset one foot on each back!! That would be an epic picture!
Dave, check around your house for other mice, where there is one.... there is a FAMILY!!!
And now, for the enjoyment of all... my epic mouse story.....
I have to admit, I unknowingly harbored a mouse family in my house for about 3 months. They grew.... and grew... and grew. There were so many in my house at the end of three months, it was not uncommon to sit and watch T.V. and see a couple of mice run out and play in the middle of our living room floor and then run off. I thought there was maybe two or three mice in the house, I was dead wrong.
I tried catching them with peanut butter on traps, I caught one that way. The wife didn't want me to kill them... so I tried the sticky glue. I caught one that way. But I couldn't safely get the little bugger off... she didn't like that either. So I went to the less intrusive traps, the kind that you put the bait inside, they crawl inside to get it, but can't crawl back out until you take the trap outside and release them into the wild.
By this time, the mouse family had grown. I was catching 3 or 4 a day for two days streight. Then I thought "Dang, there has to be a nest." So I went scouring throughout the house. My daughter, at the time had an old antique box spring mattress that sat on the floor (no bed frame). I pulled it from the wall and noticed it was torn, I flipped it over (you can see the insides of it) and it has all this old stuffing inside. Well, I saw the nest. Little baby mice fell out, and they started to scamper everywhere.
I eventually caught them all. 16 mice total!! For several days I was emptying out traps, driving them down the road to release them in a field. They probably kept growing and growing!
that's my mouse story!

When mice run the world and take over all the governments we now know who to blame ;D

I see Claudia didn't spare us the grisly details. I'm a much nicer person than she is, even if I am a mouse murderer.
Se7en's story reminded me of a time when I was working my old job. Pretty much our entire crew went to a store that had a rodent infestation. It was bad..."evidence" left everywhere, especially around the pet and people food areas. We had to take every item off the shelves, throw away or use tons of stock, clean and replace. Every night we left glue traps scattered around the store and every morning found a good dozen.
Finally we found the nest..behind a wall. We knew it was there because of the smell. We had to tear down the store fixture and, with none of us being licensed pest removal experts, decided to just poke a hole in the wall with a hammer. Literally scores of them flooded out, ran through the store and out the front door. I almost yelled 'eek' and jumped up on a counter, but just by instinct I started stomping and ended the lives of several of them.
I got to leave before they called in the experts to complete the nest and repair the wall. Good thing too, because my method was effective, but not exactly scientific.
So yes, it's definitely best to get rid of them when you spot them, because they will take over given enough time.
