[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 483107, member: 1514"] Marg...just what you are wanting to invite is why I will kill all rodents. Otherwise I would let them live! I am sure I have told my mice and snake story before but there are newbies here. Years ago in a land far away...oh excuse me...ahem. Back when Tony and I had been together a very short time...lets see Jamie was a little over 2 and Cory was about 4 or 5 months old...we bought this really old trailer. It was a 71 mobile home.
