Pink Saturday; Critter Alley

found these little cuties on this blog




I thought I would use this Pink Saturday to give you an update on my critter infestation. Our lovely hostess Beverly has links to the whole Pink Saturday cast; so pay her a visit.

It all started in my previous post when I explained about the mice who have made my Lexus into their castle. I found one in my back seat while cruising down the highway. Through him out but I just knew their were more. The smell of fried mice coming from my vents was a telltail sign that this mouse wasn't alone.
So today I took my car into the dealership and explained my situation. I let them know that my car is the only one they love. Do they bother either of my sons cars that have left over food and dirty dishes in them? NO.
Do they bother my husbands truck that had a bag of bird seed in the back seat? NO.
They prefer the clean car with the leather seats that are heated no less.
Well it took those boys 2 hours to tear things apart, find the remains of the dead mice and tear out the huge nest. This in turn sent little field mice running rampant through my car and out into the dealership. The kind gentleman told me they got them and I was safe to go home but when I stepped into my car, what do you think I found. A little mouse sitting on the passenger side grooming himself. Did he mind that I was riding along? NO.
I called the boys over and they chased him out into the showroom. LOL
Needless to say I am sure that I'm not free of mice yet.
Because I stopped at Target and found the cutest black dress when all of a sudden I heard screams coming from the front of the store. Come to find out there was a mouse running through the aisles. Well you bet I checked my purse thinking they hitched a ride.
(This is all true I swear, I couldn't write this stuff)

Now I am really starting to get paranoid because when I was dressing in the bathroom today, a couple of little voyeurs were stuck to the window peeking in at me. (tree frogs)

And a giant praying mantis was sitting on one of the cars in our driveway after dark. He was as big as a mouse and startled me as I walked by.

I have always had stray animals show up at my door or my car but never mice. I have a reputation and people call me when their animals are missing because they usually cross my path. Several years ago I met a new friend and she told me her dog was missing. The very next day I was visiting another friend and the dog showed up there. A couple years later I found a friend's missing dog while walking on my lunch hour during work; he just ran up to me. So on and so forth. You get the picture. Animals always seam to find me or I find them.

FYI; The car dealer told me to put dryer sheets in my car to repel the mice. But first I have to catch the ones still living in my dash board.

Sorry so long winded but I needed to share.

Have a great mouse-free weekend.
