Daisy spends so much time outside she is falling down on her job of keeping the house mouse free. This morning when I went to the neighbor's house to gather more fallen apples, there was Daisy.
Since I found the long dead mouse a few weeks ago I have trapped four more mice. Tonight I got another mouse - one with a light touch as I had to bait the trap twice with peanut better for I caught it. This mouse was trapped at its lower body instead of behind the neck. Since it has a such a light touch the first time I baited the trap, I also put peanut butter on the trigger itself. That got the mouse.
Since the mouse was alive I carefully picked up the trap and set it outside and then called for Daisy. After a while she came strolling over from the hayfield. She was interested in the mouse but acted nonchalant about it. Eventually I left her to play with it.
A short video of Daisy and the mouse. I'm surprised she doesn't get bitten more, especially as she tries yo sniff the mouse.
