Update: I CAUGHT IT!

My office neighbor agreed that Office Mouse 2 was extremely cute, and gave it some sesame almonds and a little dish of water. Then I released it in the marsh near our building - hopefully far away enough that it won't find its way back to my office!

In the meantime, it's time to erect more robust defenses around the Jade Stump.

I *really* do not want to do any more work today.

BUT - my research students finished counting allll the ants! Holy mackerel. 17,368 of them, in 26 colonies.

Suddenly remembering the youtube videos of someone making little maze/obstacle courses for their hamster (gerbil? some small fuzzy rodent), filming the hamster in them, and playing Mission Impossible theme music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacB1dMiJk is one in that series.

The sheepies out here have electrical fences. Oh, and I saw them being herded down the street by multiple border collies! So kind of spitballing here but maybe border collies and an electric fence for the mice?

Those mazes were pretty darned cute.

If I built a maze for Office mouse, do you think it would stop peeing and pooping on my bookshelves??
