The Tale Of The Mysterious Mice


Lola and Ozzie are getting revved up to go for a walk.  I'm still having my morning coffee. sigh.  We walked around the area of 5th wheels where people were packing up to go home. Not sure if they are owned or rented since we see trucks hauling them in or out. A nice vacation for them.

This morning I wore my treat bag and when Sam and Lola walked nicely they were rewarded. I WILL get them to go slow.  We actually had a nice walk around. Later today, when the tide goes out and people go home, lol, we will take another long walk on the beach.

Ok, the tale of the mysterious mice. Two days ago I saw "mouse droppings" . We had them at the studio I was in so for sure, these were little presents from an unwanted guest in CiCi Blue. I found them everywhere yesterday and went in to a mild panic. There I was envisioning them below or behind chewing on a wire or two. I swept them up and threw them away.

We recently had our mail delivered here and one of the magazines, Escapee's, had an issue about mice and if you put down dryer sheets they will, 1st, not enter, 2nd, go away.  Looking down, I found more droppings. They did look like seeds but also pointed and the same size as little mice poopies.  I jumped on my bike and round down to the general store at the campground and bought 4 packages of dryer sheets. Left one there for someone else.  Came home and even more little droppings. OMG, they were running amok in the coach.


 I placed dryer sheets everywhere. I was going to get them!! Then I bent over to pick one more up and it was stuck in a glob of Lola's fur.

Ok, it was then I realized that Lola had tiny seeds attached to her fur from our walks last week in the woods.  Thought we got all the nasties out of her fur but I guess these tiny seeds, a.k.a. Mice Droppings, attached underneath. DUH!

Today we start our stowing after Roger's Sub reunion and our week here at Myrtle beach.  I'm working on getting a bedroom carpet dry after I brought the bedroom slide in too quickly last week as it was pouring out. Then rain all week and the dampness has kept it a little damp.  We leave at 7 A.M. in the morning to head to Loris, S.C. to the Cummins Repair shop. I have been having issues with my car so who knows after that.

One more cup of coffee...watch some football and enjoy our day. I have to say, even with the small issues that seemed huge at the time, I am truly loving this life. I keep thinking we are going "home" to Florida but we are home!! We can roam anywhere we choose. Woohoo, that's exciting!!!

Have a great day..

Warmly,
Sheila

  2. Mice droppings...... Too funny! As I was reading I couldn't figure out why your dogs were not alerting you to the mice, especially as they seemed to be everywhere! When we lived in the country I could always tell in the fall when the mice were starting to come in by the way the dogs ran all over smelling and looking around.
