Latest Mouse Fiasco at Work.

[Scotsman]

So a couple of weeks ago I get into work and had just settled into my chair to do some work when the IT lady comes to se me. She said there was a mouse caght in her trap and it smelled really bad. For some background we use those traps that have and entrance and a cantilever so they can't get back out and just sit in there until they die (and these are supposedly the humane traps). So anyway I get some rubber gloves on and go to see what's up. About 20ft from her office I pick up the smell and start gagging already. I get in there and the stench is nearly unbearable. I pick up the trap and head for the nearest exit. About half way across the parking lot I feel something move in there and figure there might be a live mouse in it, so I open it with care. The scene is horrendous, there is a live mouse sitting there looking up at me. He is sitting over the half carcass of another mouse, that everything from the hips up has been devoured off of including the bones. Bits of fur and skin are clinging to the floor and walls of the trap. I shook the mouse out and let it go to which he turned around and looked at me like he was pissed off or something. It really looked like there had been some mouse gladiator shit going on in there. So I clean out the trap and bleach it so that no plagues or shit will spread from it. Then later that day the receptionist comes to get me for another dead mouse in a trap. This time ole Scotsy gears up in a full respirator and gloves get up. Upon finding this mouse he was dead and had just started to rot. The really gross part this time was that he had decomposed just enough to stick to the bottom of the trap. I had to bang the trap against the inside of the dumpster in order to free the mouse museledge of rotten smegma binding him to the metal.

This is the joy of having your office in the middle of a field.

You need a shop cat.

I hate cats so I suggested that we get a rat terrier since those dogs are cool anyway, but it didn't work out for me.

Well I should clarify that I hate housecats, larger wild creatures such as yourself are fine in my book.

LOL, I would have been beating that shoe against the railing like it had stole something.

At least you didn't have to put up with the smell though.
Next time I'll play the chanter and see if the mice run away.

I worked at a pet store when I was young. 2 gay males came in and bought 10 mice for about 14 dollars.

Unless they were doing a school science project I would have denied the sale for reasons of animal cruelty.

I bet if you refuse to perform rodent removal in the future that dog will suddenly work out for you quite well.

My first ever pet mouse got sick. So sick that its fur was falling out and I was sad that it was suffering. After a brief discussion with my father, I decided that the humane thing to do, no matter how much it grieved me, was to electrocute it.

We connected one lead from the mains to a metal plate and the other to a dish of salt water sitting on the plate and added in the mouse. After a moment or two the mouse sipped at the water and leapt about 2 foot into the air. The mouse was still alive so I put him up for round two. The same thing happened again and I couldn't go through with it a third time in case it upset him and so put him back into the cage. He recovered completely and grew back his glossy coat and lived to a ripe old age, siring many mouse children.

Holy shit, I probably shouldn't be laughing but that's one of the funniest things I have ever heard. You actually tried to give a mouse the chair.

The crazy thing was that it seemed the right thing to do at the time. A quick painless death to put it out of its misery. Still, it cured the animal and the story had a happy ending.

Do you think I should study to be a vet? Do I have the right qualities?

That's a thought, but they'll just make someone else do it. Besides our office manager is a cat person so I am facing the tides of an angry sea there.

They were about 25. My manager and I just smoked so I was kind of laughing when they asked me. You would have to have 10 snakes for that amount of food.

It's not a horrible idea just the mental image I brought up was hilarious.

This girl I knew in college worked in a psych lab where they were studying electical effects on the brain. Anyways she had the job of drilling holes in the mouse's head for the electrodes and then putting them through a gilloutine when they were done. It took her a while to get used to it. So the electric chair reminded me of the guilloutine.

Hell yeah you could be the Dr. Kevorkian of vets.LOL

The mouse was depressed, and the electroshock therapy put him right.

But for a quick, painless death, flushing it down the loo would have been a much less elaborate choice.

It was cheaper than Prozac and saved waiting ten of fifteen years for it to be invented and run through FDA approval. I did think of drowning the mouse but didn't want it to suffer.
