Hadn't seen any mice for awhile. Then just 2 nights ago, our Brutus (who thinks he is ALpha male) started barking like crazy in middle of night (about 130 am). Bridget not so much. She's like what the Hades are you b****ing about now? Got up and 2 small mice just watching him. I grabbed DH work boot (it was close) and threw at them. Got them both. Grabbed broom and dustpan and took them to the dumpster. Evidently just stunned them. DH heard them when he got up to go to work and set out for garbage pickup. Brutus will wake you if there is any kind of bug. He hates spiders.
