Four dead mice in two days. If it weren’t Christmas I’d be calling an exterminator already

So Dee cornered a fifth one and I said to Sergio, let’s try to get him to take it outside

Because he refuses to kill it or let Frankie kill it and it’s a big sucker

So Dee loves to do this thing where he picks it up in his mouth, it goes all compliant, he drops it, it runs, he grabs it, it screams, and then repeat

DEE LET YOUR FAMILY KILL THE PESTS ALREADY

So I’m trying to sweep him towards the kitchen with the broom but every time the mouse drops it keeps going the way back to the basement instead of the open door

And finally Dee missed a catch and it goes between the fridge and the wall and I’m like “well fuck we aren’t getting him now”

Sergio tried moving the fridge but can’t.

Dee sits at it pawing at the mouse but has no chance of reaching it

I say I’ll take the broom handle and try to sweep it out.

I get it in position, jab high so I can maybe startle it out

Instead I hear a squeal and CRUNCH

Now we have a dead mouse pinned between the wall and the fridge

Merry Christmas all
