Good for Something...


So last Christmas Kendall got a Jack Russell puppy for Christmas. By far the WORST decision of my life, everyone knows I CAN'T stand him. However....tonight he came in kinda handy.


So we discovered about 3 weeks ago that a small mouse had taken up refuge in our garage. John has had several goes at trying to catch him with no avail. He's only been spotted about 3 times and it's most likely because John isn't the best at remembering to take the garbage out but still if you know me you know I can't stand rodents. Give me a snake or spider in the house anyday. I've literally been petrified to go in the garage and have to have Noah (our golden retriever) accompany me when I go out there to put laundry in.


Well tonight, Marley earned part of his keep. He knows he's extremely low on my list and is constantly doing odd things in attempts to win me over. He's brought me a palmetto bug from the yard and one time caught a lizard on the porch in hopes to win my approval. Well, what do you thinks he brings in from the front yard tonight - yep dead mouse. Of course the whole him bringing him in the house and dropping him on the floor about 3 feet from me was NOT COOL and resulted in me having a minor panic attack - I can now go into the garage again.


I hope this was the garage mouse, I'm about positive that he captured the darn thing from near the garbage cans outdoors. I really hope this guy was a loner...if I find or hear another one I'm calling the Orkin man ASAP!!
