Man vs Mouse.
Yes, I am after a mouse in the house. The culprit in question has seen fit to leave his calling card (poopies) in places I thought were safe to leave food as well as places I would not put anything edible. The amount of droplets increases daily so I assume he or she is eating well and probably feeding his whole family. This makes me nervous for I wonder where this great quantity of food is coming from. Aah, Cub might be the one perpetuating the mouse family, you see, she has a tendency to drop food on the floor around her chair while watching T.V. Caspers food bowl is like a Buffet, you know- All you can eat and out all the time.
Well I have had enough of these unwanted guests that have overstayed their visit. I went to BIG BOX MART and bought some sticky traps and made plans for the demise of the mouses. I cleaned and sanitized the entire garage yesterday. I vacuumed up all types of things that I wouldn't touch. Yep, the mouse and his family has been romping throught this room for quite some time. I made my plans carefully because I had lots of sticky traps.
Each wall would contain 2 or 3 traps along the edges with funnels set up to lead the mouse toward the trap and then he would have to be forced to step on the sticky thing and "VIOLA ( old timey word meaning shazam)" Mouse is caught awaiting dumpsterville. I even placed a previously partial eaten loaf of bread on the floor in the corner with a sticky at the entrance hole to the loaf.
Man vs Mouse: man has superior brain power, reasoning, skilled thinking, manipulative powers, The mouse does not stand a chance. He has a brain the size of a pin head, he runs on instint, not reasoning skills.He is mine. I will run the trapline in the morning.
Sunday morning, 7am, anticipating mouse in trap, No MOUSE. 1 darn lucky mouse.

I would wait until I actually caught the mouse before I made a judgement on which has the best brain.
ROFL...As a young boy I would sneak crackers and cookies to bed and treasure them so much that I would stash them under my pillow, and eventually crumbs got to the floor in the corner behind the bed, it later proved to be a good place to hunt when my older brother was hunting his experimented on white mice that had escaped.
Just don't do what one of my uncles did...get so fed up that he got up in middle of the night hearing one and BOOM...a .45 caliber can do alot of damage to plumbing pipes...or so he learned.
You might find some joy in knowing that a well fed mouse doesn't live anywhere near as long as an underfed mouse. Calorie Reduction Study
I thought Westies would take care of that? Course, the problem might be that Casper doesn't think he's a dog anymore?
