More mice

I didn't catch anything in my "catch and release" mouse trap before we left for the cruise, so I dismantled it. Last night, Decker was sitting in front of the wine rack in the dining room, staring at it. He may not be the most active guy anymore, but it was obvious he knew something was up. Sure enough, when we moved some wine bottles around a very fat (pregnant?) mouse scurried across the dining room and disappeared on the other side.

We have a bit of a dilemma because any kind of trap we put in the dining room that has a food bait, well, you *know* the whippet will have to investigate. So we aren't really sure what to do at this point. Maybe we have to lock Riley in our room tonight & leave a trap out overnight.

In other news - unseasonable drizzly fog in the morning. I guess it's hot somewhere :) It's been pleasant in SLO and the moisture at home is nice. They are also resurfacing the streets in our neighborhood so that's been a bit of a mess. Should be done by Friday, we'll see.
