A mouse in our house!



















Aside from the occasional spider, we were under the impression that our home was unoccupied when we moved in. However, as old houses are prone to have, there was a resident rodent who was just waiting to make our acquaintance. It must have been torture for him as he waited to raid our junk food cupboard with nervous anticipation. What a smorgasbord awaited him there! While we explored our new town, the mouse was busy at work. He gorged himself on potato chips, chocolate from Denman Island (that will teach Michelle to wait to enjoy a treat!), and finished off the feast with some healthy wraps. To add insult to injury, he managed to eat all the peanut butter off the traps left for him, going so far as to set one off without getting caught. The traps were reset with good old fashioned cheese, which ultimately did the trick. We're pretty sure we're the only ones living in the suite right now, and hopefully it stays that way.
