Now most of you know that I will not tolerate rats or mice. In fact (side story)... a couple months ago I had my terminix dude come out to the house and check out this weird looking nest under our deck. I insisted it was a rat. I had never seen a nest like that! And some of you know that our backyard backs up to Sanford & Son's backyard. (a whole other story). The nest ended up being a family of sparrows. We now enjoy watching them torment the dog.
Anyway... back to the original story... so I had to think FAST b/c if it was a field mouse, it was going to move fast! I told Geof, "well, here's what we'll do! We'll spray up in the gutter with hornets nest spray to get it to run out, then when it comes out, you'll take the shovel and beat the **** out of him!" Geof's face dropped and said "awww... nooo..." I feel NO sympathy for these varmints b/c I know they will multiply and get in my pantry! So, we had the plan... I'm getting the shovel and all of a sudden I hear Geof spraying and spraying and spraying... then I hear this sad voice, "Oh no... Amanda! I don't think this is a mouse!" Of course I go running around the corner to the gutter and look... sure enough that thing is bigger than a mouse. Geof thought it was a chipmunk. But the thing would NOT come out! I told him to gently spray the water hose up there and maybe he'll come out... still he wouldn't come out. Finally, Geof got his gloves and pulled it out. A sweet little TERRIFIED bunny... it took all I had not to burst into tears. Geof let it go a couple houses down where there was an open common area. Hopefully he found his mom!
