The Mouse Chase

OK, I know this is trite.... but I have a mouse in my apartment. I saw him night before last running along my bedroom wall. I really wish Franklin, my niece's cat, was still here. (I shipped Franklin off to Jordan in May) I have set traps and he eats the cheese and peanut butter off the traps without springing them. Charlie, my dog, sniffs him out and whines and scratches and barks. It's crazy I tell you! I finally broke down and called my landlord to bring in an exterminator, one of the many benefits of renting!
