Year 5 Month 4 Day 4

I have named him "Shculzy" because he's always in my peanuts. Get it? Peanuts?

Anyhow, he scares the crap out of me. I have no idea how he gets in there. It is sealed and locked, yet, there he is. He's not very clever at escaping, I drag the box out to the garden and tip it. All the while, he's in the highest end, jumping and sliding, over and over again.

I'm so impressed that you got a photo of him! It's not easy to face down something that scares you with a camera.

@lindasees - And, this was with my phone. I was probably 6 inches from him. I think I might have dazed him with my flash. ;) I am not a fan of being friends with mice but he's always there so I figured I may as well make the best of it.

I hate mice, but this is so cute. I had one scare me to death the other day when I put my hand in the fish food. It jumped over my hand... I screamed, and slammed the door shut. I can't figure out how he got in there, but he had quite a feast with fish food and bird seed. This is a great shot with your phone. FAV!!

Get one of those traps at a hardware store and get rid of this cutie right away. OR put all your peanuts in a metal container.

[Rosie Kind]

what a lovely shot of him = Fav

Amazing shot. I catch mice in my humane trap and let it out in the garden but they always run so fast that I don't stand a chance of getting a shot!

[hazel haver]

good shot. making the most of the moment.

[Kerri Michaels]

cool..fav

[Rosan]

Amazing shot!

[Dianna Coile]

I'm stunned by this shot! I saw a mouse in the house the night before a week-long ski trip. We put traps all over the place but just had to pray they wouldn't take over in our absence. Had that happen once! Can't imagine getting this shot!

[Stephanie Swift]

This is a very sweet shot. I like Chantal's @shepherdmanswife practice of using a humane trap, if a trap is necessary. Please don't use those dreadful glue traps which lead to an agonizing death.
