And when you prevail, the world will beat a path to your door.

joni said...

continuing from shans comment

....to have a party and treat you like the super hero you are. "GET EM GWEN"

those pesky little vermin...grrr if only i could change into a weasel!! i'd come for a midnite snack...(evilish grin.. heheh)

Olga said...

Yeah, Gwennie's back!!!!! And my dear, mi casa etu casa- take what ever you Want- in fact- write the whole blog for me!!!! :o)

murderer

joni said...

the mouse and all his/her buddies should know better than to enter into a vermin free zone!! and if they weren't so rude as to leave all their poop behind every step they take....maybe murderer wouldn't sound so lovely.

*this subject is very personal*

Charlene said...

I see now that this is about a mouse, although at first I thought that it was your daughters gerbil and thought, why is everyone so happy about this? haha.

Anyway, stopped by your house this morning after the school run but you weren't there. I was sad as I was going to an organization talk at the e free and was hoping to have a The Rock friend to go with me. But it was great anyway and when I arrived I was quickly informed it was org junkie who was doing it and I felt as if I was in the room with a superstar! haha. I had no idea she was semi local! Anyway, long message to say, I wished you were around to join me for this little outing. Love you!

Gwen said...

Joni: I can see we're on the same wavelength. Every time I see evidence, I feel a wave of unreasonable fury inside me. %@&# mice.

Amy: yes, I know it was you, unnatural girl.

Char: oh no! I would have liked that, and if you could see my house, you'd agree that I should have been there. I was at Creative Zone looking for material to make our costumes for Carin's party. Horray! Are you coming?

Charlene said...

we are doing the hotsprings as we do every year. It is just easier right now for me that having to be concerned with costumes and such. And the kids look so forward to it every year. It is our thing and i hope they will always be happy with it. Though, I can't stand that there is so much craziness going on at the hot springs. It is a little too run down these days.

Ames said...

I couldn't resist. . .

We have had to relocate FOUR of the little vermints this year, because there are those, who shall remain nameless, that do not want the things killed. So, I say, have at 'em little snakes. I relocate them far away from my house, thoug.

Ames said...

I apparently cannot type today. Typos in both posts.

Sorry about getting you riled, Joni. Gwen would have posted the same thing on my blog. Wouldn't you my dear sister?

Gwen said...

Yes I would!

Amy, don't you know Canadians are an easily riled, vioent lot?

I knew Joni would have deep personal conviction about this topic! Mice are really, really cute... until they're crapping in your pots and pans, and eating your sugar, and chewing apart the wires so your house may ignite at any given moment. I feel terrible every time we kill one... but not terrible enough to stop.

Besides, let's not forget they have the "live trap" alternative at their disposal. If they'd just cooperate, I'd happily relocate them. But they go for the snap trap, every time. Can I help it if they make bad choices?

Ames said...

That is hilarious.

Once, before we switched to humane disposal, a mouse survived the trap. Mr. Ox had to finish him off. I told Mr. Ox to bury him still gasping for breath. I had no pity, however he thought that was cruel and inhumane. I thought mouse droppings everywhere was cruel and inhumane.

Jenny said...

The reason we got our cat Mozart A. is that we had a mouse problem in our last house.
Mice really give me the heeby jeebies!!
(although can you think of anyone who is thrilled to have mice running around??)

Jenny said...

Oh right...the humane way to catch a mouse!!LOL
I suggested it to Joni, but really, when it comes to mice...the quicker the death the better!!LOL

joni said...

Gwen can you believe how many comments you have gotten!? haha

i wondered if it was one of your loved ones who posted the little dig..hehe 'murderer'.. it would be like my kin to do such a thing.

and i truly do have a personal thing about them...arrg.. at this present moment they are running around in my celling..but so far not in the living part of our house.

But i must tell you we (my fam) have enjoyed watching them outside our kitchen window... nibbling on plants and such ...cute. OUTSIDE.

..its the nasty poop. when its in everything...arrg.. it drives a mom to axes and swearing. ... sorry

Jenny said...

Is that why I was running around my yard the other day cussing like a sailor and holding an axe??
Actually...I wasn't in my backyard, nor was I holding an axe...but...the cussing like a sailor part is(unfortunately correct)!!

Charlene said...

Jenny, is that why you can't handle Chihuahuas? Too mice like? haha.

Gwen said...

In that case you'd better hide the axe when Jenny comes over!

joni said...

or plug the kiddies ears....LOL

Jenny said...

I never thought of that comparison,but now that I have time to think about....YES!!!LOL

joni said...

Jenny next time you come over i must show you around!! we are always running to get the heck out!! LOL..

..anyways then i can show you my very polite guinea pig, Ms Ginger. Whom everyone in the family likes and never thinks of anything nasty towards her.

Christy said...

I will sure to post about mouse killings soon so that I can have as many comments as Gwen!!!

joni said...

hey gwen we got two this weekend.

*evilish happy laugh*

how many you got ... we'll take score... hahaha

Gwen said...

I'm sad to report that they're winning the war right now. We DID get two last week, but we saw one last night, and this morning while packing lunches I found that the little ba$t@rd had gotten into the granola bars..... GRRRRR.... makes me furious. I want to kill them all.

Stace' said...

Gwen,
Don't let your nieces know you are out to kill a rodent. They'll be devistated.

Don't you know you could donate them to a local museum and they can play rodent sports?

Wait till PETA gets a load of this...

Gwen said...

Stace, they ARE playing rodent sports, such as Wreck the Wires, Havoc in the Home, and (the ultimate in rodent fun), Terrify the Visitors.
PETA can darn well come over and replace the wires the little monsters are chewing... but they'd better be toting bags of flour and a couple boxes of granola bars to ensure their entre. DIE VERMIN


(you can tell this subject is becoming more personal every day!)

Ames said...

Well!!! I am certainly glad I came and read these posts.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy over MY very talented rodents?

joni said...

jealously is so not the word i was thinking....

not even close.

Ames said...

Does anyone know the protocol for mailing pet rats? (shhh. . .don't tell Joni, it is a surprise)

Olga said...

Ah, come on Gwennie! Do a real post, or are you waiting to hit 100 comments???? I want a very heart wrenching eulogy to read so I can lay on the floor curled up weeping cuz I never got to say good bye....

joni said...

left you a small post on my blog Gwen.

hummmm....

i would so love to mail all my many(and there is a great many)mice to your critter loving friend,...

Send me your address Ames and i would gleefully send them to you!!!

please allow 4-6 dead ones.
NO RETURNS POSSIBLE.

Gwen said...

I was inspired by Joni's post:

Ode to a Mouse

Sir Mouse, how I hate thee
How I long for your death
Your turds foul my cupboards
In my wall is your nest

If I could, I would trap thee
And send thee to hell
How I long to be rid of
Your rank, evil smell

Jenny said...

LOL!!!!

Ames said...

Nice poem, dear, but we want a eulogy.

That was funny, Joni. If you think I am critter-loving, you should read the poem my daughter wrote. I think I will post it on my blog soon.

Jenny said...

You're just keeping this post up to see how many comments you get!LOL
do the eulogy...I'm working on mine and it's very emo.
