Mousin' Around

Over the last few years since we moved to this house we have experienced some little friends - mice.
They live in our garage and garden and are driving my mother up the wall. 
Every time she catches one she cries because she knows its dead. We usually always use the container ones with the poison because then you cant see the actual dead mouse , however , this time we tried modernized versions of the old wooden and wire traps.
We put some peanut butter on it and waited and whadya know , we caught one almost instantly!
unfortunately though , it didnt die.....
It only got its poor little foot stuck in it.... which still made my mother cry...

The poor mouse would not stop squeaking and squirming - which made me squeak and squirm too...
I almost wish that it died instantly... would have been better for everyone.

Now because my mother and i freaked out neither of us have the guts to touch or move it....so we put a pot over it.
hopefully that will calm it down and it will give us some time until we have to deal with it....
and by deal with it i mean wait for either torrie or my brother to come here and maybe they have the guts to get rid of it..... poor little guy :(
