We did have a nightly visitor under an outdoor light, known as Ted the Toad, and, of course, whole bunches of those pretty little green/brown lizards. Never a mouse in all my years in Jax.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-26539649857647660162009-03-17T17:44:00.000-07:002009-03-17T17:44:00.000-07:00On the coldest night we had in Florida this year (...On the coldest night we had in Florida this year (20 degrees) I was disturbed by my African Grey flipping out in his cage... flapping and jumping around, literally! I went in to see what was going on and took him out of the cage to quiet him down. Once he was settled on my hand, I could hear a frantic squeaking near the washing machine. I had forgotten that the pest man came and put out a mousetrap, but it is the new kind - looks like an inverted electrical switchplate with VERY sticky stuff on it. Miss or Mr. Mouse was embedded in it. Lordy.... I put the bird in the bathroom while I picked up the 'mouseplate' and found an old towel. Knowing it was too cold to put a frightened mouse outside, I had a small wire cage where, after some tugging, I was able to put the mouse and towel. The next day I walked to the top of the hill and opened the cage - mouse tore out and made a beeline for the neighbor's house.... and no more mouse visitations this season!! Thank goodness this is the wildest excitement I can report for my Florida winter...Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265922352726668243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-35564539333268984652009-03-15T11:33:00.000-07:002009-03-15T11:33:00.000-07:00anon av -- Thanks for reminding me -- I'd complete...anon av -- Thanks for reminding me -- I'd completely forgotten the singing chipmunks!<BR/><BR/>lucy -- tails, stripes -- plus the fact that they're cute little mini-squirrels.
