Mice Can Laugh
Did you know that mice can laugh. I guarantee it!
My dog loves to chase birds, bugs, flies, and lately the mice that moved into the shed out back. The mice are really sneaky critters. During the day, they lay low so you can't see or find them. But at night....PARTY! One mouse in particular, pops up to the back sliding glass door & taunts the dog. The dog goes absolutely nuts....barking, whining, wants outside so bad he is ready to knock down the door. Keep in mind, my dog is a dachshund. Loud litte bugger, but the biggest chicken in the world. He should have feathers instead of hair. Well, this little dog is just going nuts. It is after midnight & why oh why doesn't he just go out the stinkin' doggie door?! Oh, no! He must bark, wake everyone upstairs and notify us that we are in danger of being flaunted by a wee little mousie. No danger to us, but taunting my dog...now that is just too much.
Mistake No. 1
The dog is yipping, waking the family up & insisting on attention. Leave bed to go downstairs. Yell at the dog to go out the doggie door.
Mistake No.2
Head back upstairs mumbling about stupid dog, while dog runs out barking madly & now waking the neighborhood. It sounds like he is taking on a herd of wild goats with all the barking, growling and squealing. Knocking over patio chairs, the cooler, kids toys, shovels, etc.
Mistake No.3
Run back downstairs & outside without turning on the porch light. Now, I am adding to the ruckus; squealing like a stuck pig, tripping, falling down and making even more noise. I had thought it might be smart to turn on the light, but didn't so the neighbors wouldn't be able to see me in an old nightshirt and granny underwear.
Mistake No.4
Running after dog to try to catch him. Mouse is going in circles around BBQ pit, with dog chasing and now me in tow trying to grab dog. Lights are going on, I hear neighbors yelling to shut up & I am running in circles around the BBQ pit, in the dark, doubled over (ass in the air) trying to grab the stinkin' dog - wondering now who exactly is chasing who! During this whole time, I swear I could hear this little pipsqueaky voice behind me just laughing his little tail off.
I know mice can laugh...I just know it.
