Our dog must think she’s a cat…or maybe she’s just disgusting.

Tonight Noah was putting the boxes of Christmas decorations under the house. While he was up doing something Lava went down to “explore”. I had placed more boxes by the door and thus trapped her in an area where she couldn’t get to the rest of the house. Anyway, Noah came back to watch a scene in X-Men before going back under. I heard noise like Lava was eating something, and Noah went to investigate. He had her drop whatever was in her mouth, which she tried to take back under the house, and it was a MOUSE! A dead, decaying mouse! Yuck! Noah grabbed some potholders that he had pulled from the camping box and took the dead mouse outside. Gross!

The people who had the house before us had placed bait and traps under the house but we had never seen any evidence of mice living down there. I had even asked Noah earlier tonight if he saw any, and he said no.

So, now, since the mouse had been dead for some time, probably due to the poison, Noah is in the kitchen making Lava vomit.

This is how we bring in 2008 folks!
