Mouse

Some friends of ours left on holiday to New Zealand and had asked us to take of their kitty cat, who was called "Popcorn." Braden had been doing most of the "sitting" until he left for Bangkok, then I had to take over the last few days. On the last day, Davis and I went over to do the duty and right there on the counter was sitting a nice little surprise. If anyone knows me, they know that I do not do well with small rodents and this was not any different.

I was on my way to a doctor's appointment, so did not have enough time to deal with it right then, so I decided to wait and figure out what to do later. I considered many options...calling a friend from church, a neighbor's son, and yes, I will confess, I did consider just leaving it. But, finally, I found a willing volunteer! Although, I did have to bribe him with a special "Harry Potter" wand he had been wanting for a while. Carson was a champ and the mouse was easily disposed of in the rubbish bin without me having to be anywhere near it!

The only comical part of the whole ordeal was that the silly cat had carefully placed the mouse on the counter next to his family's photos and awards that were displayed. I think he missed them and wanted to feel like he was a part of the family again!
