Hi G-Fans!
Well, I am not sure if I mentioned that we had another calling card left in Snagglepus' food dish the other day (Thursday morning?). Yes, the bowl was totally cleaned out and a single mouse turd left in the middle of the dish! So brazen! So, the concierge, amidst the minted mouse repellent sachets and dysfunctional electronic mouse deterrents, was on high alert for floating bodies and triggered traps. This morning, while rushing around at an unreasonable Saturday morning hour, the concierge went to the basement to get something before she headed off to beach yoga without me...
The trap was sprung. Now, this trap is very sensitive and has been triggered on more than one occasion without the benefit of a caught mouse. Not so this morning. The gloves came out, the trap was placed in a carry bag and a relocation program had begun....
Once both the concierge and Harry's concierge were ready, they left with the mouse in tow.
From what I understand the mouse was released in a trust land location, specific disclosure, however, would be against protocol. The concierge said it was a field mouse (the jumper kind) with black shiny eyes and once coaxed from the trap it dashed up a large boulder and down into rustling grass and then gratefully gone...!
It was the last passenger on the old tires of the royal mobile. We now have swanky new ones to get us around. It rides much better, as we tested them tonight driving to go on a forest walk. Actually, we had two jaunts today! We did a partial bog walk mid afternoon and a late evening forest walk on the bike path. So, overall, a good day... Even though the concierge thought taking off mid-afternoon until after supper was a good idea... Go figure!
So, to update you on the integration process....
The concierge had thought for a brief moment that releasing the mouse into Sophie's clutches would be a good idea.... she didn't do it so no worries.... but it is concerning that she thought this....
Anyway.... Raphael remains the odd man out as Riley met Sophie last night without fanfare. It all went well as far as I could see. I continue to monitor the situation closely and have the most contact, and without incident - including growling.... :)
I think she's starting to like me! And I am getting good at forcing her into a corner to get better sniffs :)
So, that is the current update.
May you celebrate the love that surrounds you.
TTFN!
