The Mouse Chronicle- Part II: Holi the Mouse Slayer

OK, you must read the The Mouse Chronicle (detailed below or in archives) to fully understand Part II. Luckily, no showers were involved this time!

As we were preparing to leave for the Christmas holidays and I was coming back in from loading the van, I recognized a very familiar carcass laying on the kitchen floor in front of the dishwasher. However, instead of his normal scurrying faster than Flo-Jo self, he was not moving one bit at all and curled into a little ball.

Yes, our mouse, or most likely a relative, had come back, but had found the little treat we had left out for him and was now dead. Not wanting Chloe (or Melissa for that matter) to see him, I hurried to the back of the house to find a shoebox to pick him up to dispose of him. However, by the Chloe and I (she had come back inside from playing) and I made it to the front of the house to take him back outside for the last time, our dog, Holi, has him in her mouth and is heading outside with him!

Now I'm sure Holi thought she was protecting her household by disposing of this ferocious, albeit dead, pest, but where was she when I was screaming my head off in the shower!?

Oh yeah, she was on her daily morning time biscuit run at the neighbors! Man's best friend? Yea, she is. And a mouse slayer on top of it!
