Here's Dave holding the little gray mouse he caught in Sara's room. We managed to lure him out from behind Sara's dresser in the direction of TicTac, as it was our plan for her to take it from there. She stared at him as he sauntered past her. The mouse was not scared of TicTac and she was not the least bit interested in catching the mouse. So much for our huntress.
Then Dave got the little guy trapped under the radiator where we spent the better part of an hour chasing him from one end of the radiator to the other. We finally got him to come out and Dave trapped him with a plastic container. Sara and Dave took him down to the woods at the end of the road to let him go, but not before giving him a couple pieces of cheese... which he chose to stay and eat instead of running away.
I hope he doesn't find his way back to our house... and I hope he didn't leave a little mouse family behind...

Ho dohh, I really thinks he'll find his way back. He knows who has the cheese and will play "catch me if you can" game with TicTac and Dave.!!!
You might want to set some traps--Dad has found, in his years of catching mice in our old house, that they nearly always travel in pairs...
Ugh! I think it's unusual that he was upstairs. Don't they usually stay in basements? What good are those cats if humans have to trap mice?
The cats are no good at all. You should have seen TicTac's look of boredom when the mouse walked past her. I think I even saw her yawn!
