He laughed and laughed.Kathleen Yasashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258784164001619756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334687599004214919.post-31962288375035417202011-03-17T17:48:12.862-04:002011-03-17T17:48:12.862-04:00From FB: Love her post about mice.

Over the course of our 20+ year marriage, we've had various types of cats: contract killers, subsistence eaters, and downright freakin' oblivious felines. I've decided that no variety is better than the others!

Cats and kids have usually taken care of the mice and the occasional chipmunk invasions - but the bats have resulted in stories that will be passed on for generations to come!barb marsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770185740255377128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334687599004214919.post-45436391053627827482011-03-16T01:10:59.342-04:002011-03-16T01:10:59.342-04:00Great stuff Kathleen.

My best friend here in the city is deathly afraid of mice, of rather grandiose girth and yes, jumps on beds or the nearest piece of furniture at the sight. Ya got to know I've set him up with rubber rodents, and bugs, more than once just for the hilarity of the show. A large, terrified, screaming and jumping Latino guy is worth the purchase of some fake "friends."Daniel Symondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892205332444683641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334687599004214919.post-138857141581589932011-03-15T22:07:56.473-04:002011-03-15T22:07:56.473-04:00Laughed out loud, which made Bob give me one of th...Laughed out loud, which made Bob give me one of those sanity-check looks.
