Excellent....

In December i blogged about this mysterious animal. There was no way this thing was a tiny rodent, the noises it made were so loud. Though it did move pretty fast. If it is a small rodent there was to be more than one of them, i don't know why i just think its ridiculous for a small mouse to make as much noise as i observed.

i set the trap again yesterday with the last slice of cheddar that i had that had been sitting on the table in the basement for about 2 weeks. Of course while putting the box cage in the ceiling the door got jammed and the critter was free to go in and out as it liked and the cheese was gone.

Today i stepped it up a bit, with new sweet swiss cheese stuck on the trigger with peanut butter...and a sticky pad by the front door left by my dad. When i got back from dinner i heard a bunch of racket in the ceiling...i checked the trap...it was empty! But wait, i could still hear something...where is the sticky trap?! its GONE! i followed the noise to the corner of the drop ceiling tile...and it was a mouse!
Not sure what to do with now, its too cute to let starve and too adorable to chop its head off...too big of a pain to let free...i guess i would be willing to drown it...or maybe let a rain of BBs fall upon it from my air pistol...well since it was my dad that used the sticky trap i guess i'll let him take care of it.

Here it looks like he's accepted hit fate and thought he might as well finish the cheese while in the cage. Sort of like a last meal...before the last mile...
