Omg haha.... I had a similar eviction this week too, tho it was a wasp trying to nest under the gas cap of my farm truck... hopefully your mouse situation will be similarly peaceful tho!
She listened...eventually...and did not catch the mouse, who skillfully hid between one of the table legs and the wall while I convinced Alex to come in the house. There will likely be more episodes in this drama, judging by the amount of mouse poop I noticed on the porch this morning.
I'm late getting to the video but I was really worried for that mouse. Glad you found him and his dwelling before something long and slithering got to it. Getting to be that time of year.
Where's the Ranch Mouser? If I were JCC I'd be more than a little p.o.ed that I hadn't appeared on the blog in a LONG time. Does he get any 'alone' time with you on the porch? I miss you JC!!!
Hi Carson, getting a little concerned here, it has been a long time since a blog post, Instagram or tweet. You OK out there in the middle of nowhere? /Gretchen
I'd be scared if I was that mouse.

ReplyDeleteDid she listen or did she get the mouse?

ReplyDeleteI did wonder about the longevity of the artwork outside, but not as new habitat. However I did think that it might attract spiders/insects.

Great video! Alex is almost bipedal- and a dancer!
ReplyDeleteHer bipedal skills are extraordinary, to the point I think she may have been a circus dog in a previous life.
DeleteToo funny! So happy to see a new post! /Gretchen
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny. Your supposed to give a months notice. I was amazed the mouse could go straight up the wall!
ReplyDeleteAnd Smoochie? is she not up to chasing mice anymore? Or she's just chillin inside?
ReplyDeleteThat was a luxe looking nest- hay, grass and donkey hair!
ReplyDeleteHas Alex been practicing ballet? She is very nimble.

Cute little mouse! And jumping Alex is awesome with her black costume from neck to tail end (a queue-de-pie)!
ReplyDeleteAlex is a very determined girl. At first I saw a glimpse of video without context and thought maybe she was just climbing the walls :)
