Well we caught the mouse

Yes we caught the mouse and of course it wasn't dead! I couldn't look at it. I was hoping it would just hurry up and die so that I could get rid of it and not have to think about it anymore. Well that is until I catch the next one. The next one will be with a not kill mouse trap thank you very much. Kiah was having a fit crying and pleading. "Please don't let it die" She was soooooo upset. It was pinned right behind its head and over its rear end. It was not dying and Kiah was getting increasingly upset. "it's squeeking mommy!" I told her if we let it out it would suffer because its hurt so we should put it in a box and put it in the freezer so it will just go to sleep. It's supposed to be the most humane way to kill a mouse. Well at this point my goal was to make Kiah happy. I put the mouse and trap in a shoe box and brought it outside and accross the street. I opened the trap and it snapped back down on the poor thing again. I opened it again and he was free but his back legs were dragging. We got it back in the box and discussed the options again. Freezer or field. She wanted to feed it first. We gave it some peanut butter and it ate. Awhile later we took the box and let the mouse free in an open field. Whew. Happy daughter. Mouse far from the house. Mission accomplished. Today we will buying the no kill traps.

In other news. I WAS GROPED IN THE PARK LAST NIGHT! It's a long story. I'll write about it later tonight. Now we are off to the beach.
