Gizmo Standing Guard

Why is Gizmo standing guard? Well, if you remember I have no ceiling in my kitchen right now. I also live next door to an abandoned house. The weather is getting colder, which means mice are indoors. They are next door. They are trying to get in my house. However, when they get to my house...there is no ceiling for them to run on so they fall to the floor!!

So far only one has made that mistake, and Gizmo took care of that one very fast. Unfortunately, I discovered this phenomenon the same time I discovered that my overflowing toilet had leaked through the bathroom floor...onto the kitchen floor. Gizmo didn't warn me of the water or the mouse...I think he enjoyed watching me slip and scream at the same time. :)

All the water has been cleaned up (thank goodness Bonita, Linda, Monique and Tasha all have their own bath and beach towels at my house!), and the mouse is taken care of as well. I have heard some rustling in the walls but, as you can see, Gizmo is standing guard to make sure no mouse gets through. I am hoping the first mouse's death will be sufficient warning for any others to stay away. We'll see... :)

Its been an interesting day!

Oh, and say what you will about Gizmo being fat and spoiled, but nothing compares to my parents' dog. :)
