Our dogs disappeared from the living room last night for a long time. When I went looking for them Reuben had a mouse "treed" between the rain barrel and the brick wall of the house a foot from the garage door. He could not get to it but it was trapped. I helped him out using a long screwdriver and I flipped the mouse onto the ground right to him. He nailed it in a heartbeat and started munching. It was too big for him to swallow whole but he had no intention of letting it go. Mrs Carrera came out to hold him and I went to get a treat. He sniffed the treat and I could almost hear him thinking, is a mouse in the mouth I can't swallow worth a sure thing treat. He spit out the mouse and went for the sure thing.
I could not have killed the mouse by myself without doing damage to the house or the rain barrel. It was for sure a full grown mouse and large. I have found several mose turds in the garage but so far they have eluded the mouse traps. They could not get past the biological detector! Good BOY!
