So I killed a mouse yesterday...

[TrailerParkJawa]

I went for a hike with my friend and her baby. I was pushing the stroller and all of sudden my friend jumps up and screams. Im thinking she tried to jump over some dog doo and felt a bump in my foot. I thought I stepped in it.

I was surprised to look down and see a mouse/vole twitching on its side. After a few seconds it stopped moving and I assumed it was dead. My friend said I stepped on it. What a freak accident. I felt kinda bad for the little guy, but there are lots more along the trails and his body will probably feed a scavanger or lucky cat.

I got a mouse with the lawn mower last weekend. The little dumb ass just, darted right out, in front of it.

This mouse did the same thing. Just ran right under us. It could have waited 2 more seconds to cross and would have been fine.

I used to save mice/voles/moles with my friend from her cat. We'd put them in one of those huge Lego boxes with dirt, a dish of water, and plants for it and we'd haul it around with us all day. At night, we'd dig a little hole (if it was a burrowing animal) and stick it in to start it off. I remember one poor terrified mouse that would look at us and tremble but it calmed down when we pet it and gave it water (Yes, it was stupid to stick my finger less than an inch from its mouth, but I was .

I like the Mr Hell version of Circle of Life:

"So you lions eat us antelope and in return we eat the grass fertilised by ourselves in your shit?"

"Yeah."

"This circle sucks!"

I've seen dead rats while mowing the lawn, but I didn't run them over. What's it like to run over a mouse with a lawnmower anyway? Is there lots of blood?

HAHAHA Best Circle of Life EVER!!

Our cat hasn't yet figured out to eat mice and it brings them inside. We just flush them down the toliet dead or alive. Funny thing, one of them was a GOOD swimmer and survived the first flush.

Course birds are another matter. Cat brings them in alive and we take them back out.

My family's cat killed a rabbit once. Then she climbed up a tree with it and carried it onto our second story balcony for my parents to find in the morning. She's ten pounds of pure bad ass.

Not really. I had the bag on the mower, so the remains got tossed in there. Makes me wonder now, what kind of mess would have been left, if I hadn't bagged it. My lawn mower works as a mulcher, without the bag.

My dog once swallowed a sparrow whole. It was knocking on the door, I assumed it had something to show me, I step outside, he looks at me funny, then hurls up a completely whole, dead sparrow. Gross. He was quite pleased with himself.

To complete the circle of life you have to go back and eat the mouse.

Damn, and here all I have to deal with are shrew halves left by one of my cats on the back steps... although there was that time we found three whole, dead shrews out int he back lawn....

Granted, I also once had the wonderful present ofa whole, dead chickadee from another of my cats. Just walked right in, and dropped it right in front of me.

Then, of course, there's the random assortment of other animals we find half-dead around the backyard every once and a while.

Although, now that I think about it, my personal favorite would be the squirrel tail I found on the front walk. Kick it off to the side, next day, find it on the front walk again. Ah, the joys of natrual cat toys...

My previous cat (she's passed on) caught a rabbit. She was sprawled by the porch, toying with it, tossing it up in the air high enough for it to land on the porch (about 24in above)!

Heh, thats nothing. Duke (male yellow lab/german sheppard mix) can catch moles. He'll dig 'em out of their tunnels, toss them up into the air and bat them around like a toy. He even catches field mice. His sister Shadow....she's a regular Steve Irwin when it comes to snakes. She can catch snakes with no problem. Luckily, she hasn't caught a poisonous one yet. Hell, she hasn't caught one in a long time since the construction crews quit building so many damned houses around here and moved on to another part of the county.
