Mouse Catcher This was oh so fast I couldn't believe my eyes! Buddybear had just walked into my sewing room and was sniffing around when all of a sudden, clanging and banging, he was shaking his head violently. He dropped what was in his mouth and I saw it was a mouse. I started yelling for my husband he had caught a mouse when Buddybear picked it up and started shaking it again. As he left my sewing room he dropped it on a small rug and dh arrived just in time to praise him and remove the offending rodent. At first all I could think of was the mouse has GERMS and Buddybear just had 6 teeth removed.:( How contaminated is his mouth, ick. Oh, ok he is still on antibiotics so we should be safe. About 10-15 minutes later he vomited and I thought he probably just got vertigo from shaking his head so hard and fast. He has not vomited again and is acting normal. His breeding took over and he automatically knew what he was to do. Im just mortified I had a mouse in my sewing room. There isn't any food in there but maybe it was looking to make a comfy nest in my fabrics.:p So proud, but I think I will do without kisses for a while. |
Good job Buddybear lol, thing is, now that he has had his first kill, he will be more vigilant in his hunting. Ya just gotta love these lil yorkies lol. |
Omg. I would freak out. I'm not scared of mice, but I am scared of them getting into my fabric. Especially my Kaffe Fasset fabric. :eek: Or my yarn. Or wool. Or.... I think the only remedy is to get more yorkies. Right??? :D |
Good work Buddy Bear, You are a good hunter. |

You must be a quilter......Kaffe Fasset is a name I recognize. I'm a civil war and 30's reproduction myself so I know how much we prize our special fabrics. So far no mouse has been near my yarn. I will tell Buddybear how many people think he's a great mighty hunter, lol. :thumbup: |
Toni is so afraid of mice that she once saw one run out from the neighbors wood pile while she was gardening and she ran screaming into the house, up the stairs, into the bedroom and actually LOCKED the door - you know, just in case the mouse was going to follow her and try to open the door! |
Isn't it incredible how they 'know' the scent and the 'procedure' without ever having encountered one before? They go from cutie pie to killer like magic. Congrats on your fearless hunter. I definitely don't want rodents in my fabrics or yarn...or anywhere else, for that matter. |
oh my goodness!! I would totally freak out! At both the dead mouse and the fact that my baby had mouse blood all over his face! Yikes!! But excellent job, Buddybear!!! Kind of very cool! :D |

I also do garment sewing, have recently learned how to sew my own bras which is so fun! Except now I also have a lace box. Last year I picked up a rather large loom so one of these days I will be sewing my own clothes with fabric I have made. Pretty sure I was born in the wrong time? Last week I watched Loki dig out one of the mole hills. I have tried several things to get rid of them, so far they are all laughing at me. So I told hubby I would require more Yorkies to hunt them. We have almost 2 acres. That's a lot of moles! |

I wonder what Buddybear thought of the whole business? |
Well, they were bred to be ratters. :) However, I can understand your fear of germs and all of the other lovely diseases rodents carry. :( But he was brave, I think my Cody would run away. :D Quote:

Well they do remain true to thier breed. Chloe will chase squirrels, birds and of course mice, we had a couple in our old apartment, Thank god she has never caught anything. Quite a few years ago when Didi was with us, I came home from shopping and she had caught 2 baby mice, I was horrified, but the funny thing was my husband was hiding in the bedroom, he has a real fear of mice and of course I had to remove them. Yuck!!!! |
