Ha.  I have to get more drywall compound before I go any farther on that 
project, so it is either go to town, or stay down here in the basement 
and 'help' Streak catch mice, so they don't get upstairs.  I chose the 
only reasonable route to happiness.....

Of course, it takes him a while to locate a critter, during which time I 
entertain myself with the computer, sitting by side of the stove.  When 
he finds one, my job is to move the wood or whatever, so he can get in 
to it.  So far we're at 6 mice and 2 voles for the day, not counting one 
mouse I got in a trap last night.

I'm thinking I should probably put the dog door back up a couple of 
inches so the weasel can get back in.....but my dogboy loves this hunt 
business, so today is his day.  He turned 12 not long ago, and we like 
each other, so I humor him. :-)
