EEK ! ! !

So.
Yesterday morning I see that my Agador is VERY interested in the top of the fireplace...
So I investigate...
And I find the tiniest field mouse at the top !
So i get my mason jar and try to get him to go in it...
To no avail.
After much chasing around the dining room, with the cats in hot pursuit, the mouse escaped under the fridge.
Then, as we were settling into bed last night we hear that the cats are getting into trouble...
So I go into the craft room and Agador has himself shoved into a corner by the floorboard heater and Panya is watching from notsofar away....
I moved Ag and found the mouse scrunched down into the corner.
After much prodding and convincing J to take Agador and hold him I got the mousie to go into the mason jar.
I felt SO badly that I had to put him outside in the snow.
But what was I going to do with a field mouse, really?
*sigh*
Poor cold little mousie.
But I suppose that's a considerably better fate than what was initially slated for him last night, huh?
