I have to say that in a house or [as I once experienced them] in a storage situation, they can make a mess all out of proportion to their tiny size. So--although I don't like to witness their demise I need to be stoical.<br />I think G. might have elderberry syrup left from her experiments during the 2012 season--should have thought of that. I've relied on tea with honey to soothe my throat. I'm over the worst--just needing a renewal of energy.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-26928923387223596152013-12-04T19:29:55.626-05:002013-12-04T19:29:55.626-05:00Briony; I was surprised about the disposal of the ...Briony; I was surprised about the disposal of the mouse--this is the man who carefully removed a mother mouse and her babies from the innards of his hay baler and transported them up to the woods in a small box.<br />When I inquired later he explained that the mouse was 'pretty well whupped' from the handling it received from the cats and didn't need to be picked up and tormented to death.<br />I edited my post to include this sad fact.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-9747292686442558142013-12-04T19:26:59.556-05:002013-12-04T19:26:59.556-05:00Ann; There are times when cats must be allowed to ...Ann; There are times when cats must be allowed to carry out their primitive urges, but I do hate to hear them 'crunching' on their prey from beneath the table!<br />We know that the meds are keeping Pebbles in health for the time being--we can only enjoy the time we have left with her and hope we have the courage to make a compassionate choice when that evil day arrives.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-28583523664835279942013-12-04T08:35:43.549-05:002013-12-04T08:35:43.549-05:00For someone who's tottering, I think you achie...For someone who's tottering, I think you achieved a fair amount. I gave a little gasp of surprise at the mouse being flushed too, but I dare say it was better than dieing of shock outside, or being recaught by the cats.<br /><br />Get well soon.

I was just thinking how lovely to cup it in his hands and let it go and then the whole sentence changed into something so awful.<br />But then I'm just a soppy sentimental thing who hasn't lived in the country, only a town and maybe I'm over reacting.crafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-69232122791406627492013-12-04T04:40:14.491-05:002013-12-04T04:40:14.491-05:00Hello MM, it`s good to be back and lovely to visit...Hello MM, it`s good to be back and lovely to visit your blog again. Thanks for visiting mine! <br /><br />I was pleased to hear that Pebbles is still going strong. I hope that she and our own old Golden Pony make it through the coming winter in good health!<br /><br />Your day sounds very busy and interesting. What a start though, with a mouse in the bedroom! We recently had a shrew, brought into the kitchen, but it was too badly injured to save so the murderous cat was allowed to get on with her business. Now that I have started feeding the garden birds, I try to keep the cats in during daylight hours. They have to watch the show through the window!Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.com
