Apparently this is a bad week for the various goings and comings of apartment 1E. The mice seemed to have accrued another point in their favor after the death of one of their own earlier this week. Codey had set out another trap and when he returned, the trap was no longer where he left it. Not knowing what to think, he forgot about it until the following day when he saw it lodged in what must be a mouse hole on the other side of the kitchen. To the best that we can figure, the mouse must have got caught in the trap but somehow had the strength to drag its injured body and the trap across the kitchen and half way into the mouse hole and where the trap was sticking out. We thought we would find his lifeless body half in the hole but no, somehow the persistent little bastard managed to wrestle free from the trap! I really hope he doesn’t up and die under the floorboards. I guess if you have to die, that would be one way to give us a last shot.

At least he led us to the entrance way to their lair which Codey plugged up with steel wool.
