couple more shots from the San Diego zoo. Look at how long this dude is!
Komodo dragon I believe. Ok and now for the mouse/mice. One night last week while Wood and I were eating dinner on the couch, watching tv and enjoying a fire, Wood said, "BD look quick". Couldn't see what it was he wanted me to see at first, but then I saw a MOUSE IN THE HOUSE!!! Ok, you all know I can handle spiders and bugs and even snakes, but DEFINITELY not a mouse in the house. Makes me feel dirty and crawly. I did the girl thing (no not standing on the couch and screaming) and said, please get that mouse out of the house, I just can not handle mice in the house and I can't help you with this one. He really was a cute mouse, larger than the usual kind (I think it was a deer mouse or something, he had black around his eyes) but none the less he had to go. I thought he might have come in when we got the wood from outside on the deck but no, he has to go and disappear for awhile through a little tiny hole in the fireplace rock. Seems as though it isn't sealed quite enough to keep the little buggers out. Ok so we tried to catch him, to no avail, so finally Wood just opened the back french doors and he eventually scurried out (although I don't know why it was about 30 degrees out and why would you leave a cozy house with a fire to go freeze outside... hmm maybe pending doom if you remained inside? )
Ok, mouse story continued. Last night Wood started his motorcycle class for the weekend, so I was sitting (really reclining) on the couch watching the tube when ARRRRRGGGGHHH another and different/littler mouse scrurried out of a different hole in the fireplace rock and this time MUCH CLOSER TO ME!!! Ok, so I am by myself, no knight in shining armor to rescue me this time. What's a girl to do. Well I went to my bedroom and retrieved some pantyhose and stuffed all the holes I could find close to the wood floors with them. No more mouse for the rest of the night, but Petey and I heard noises constantly until Wood came home a bit later.
So today on my list of things to do, get mouse traps, buy some silicon and finish the job the fireplace builders started by sealing up the fireplace.
Have I mentioned I don't like mice? :-)
