Oh my heck! Roxy's thrill and my horror!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

When we were first married my hubby gave me a Grt. Dane Puppy for my 19 th birthday. Four mons. after we got married we bought a house. We both worked 2 jobs, So, Danke stayed in the garage. Several times we'd come home and find a dead mouse in the garage with her. They'd come in through the dryer vent. We never knew if she jumped on them or they saw a 130 striped dog and died of fright...LOL Even our neighbors there thought we were starving her and that she was a TIGER!! In a suburb Development!! She was a very small Brindle Great Dane- 32 ins. @ the shoulder with cropped ears that stood up once in a while. I'm not afraid of little furry things or snakes. But, A BUG!! I GO NUTS!!!

That's when I scream for the Hubby. I told him that's why I married him. He's my Big, Strong Bug Smasher!!

oh gosh, I love it. The story, the pictures. Thats great! Im glad your little girl was there to protect you from the big bad mouse in your house!

I tell BF all the time that I need to remind myself that my boys are dogs. They are sooo adorable and loveable and cuddly, then they go and roll in poop or eat a bug. eewwww

LOL

I always turn cups over on top of bugs. I can bear to smoosh anything and Im afraid to pick them up. I just trap them under a cup until DH comes home. I can't believe that mouse stood still for a mixing bowl to be over him!! Too funny!

That's a cute story. Thanks for the chuckle.

My little 3 1/2 lb Matty has already caught 2 mice. She gets so excited too!

What a cute story. I can just picture your little princess playing

So my question is... how did your son get it from the bowl to out of the house without it running free...

This is what would happen to me and then I wouldn't be able to stay in the house!

Oh that is just toooo funny!

I left that part out deliberately. Scott said Roxy could watch, but I couldn't because I kept yelling that it was going to get away. Then Roxy was too much help, so he made me hold her. He used a glue-board trap and slid it under the bowl. The mouse got stuck on the glue board, then Scott got the board into a small box out of the trash, then took it outside and I didn't ask for more details. I don't want to know. I feel bad for the mouse, but not nearly as bad as I would have felt if the mouse would have bitten Roxy and she would have gotten sick.
