Supreme Bravery Moment

[hellison]

I just, ALL BY MYSELF, removed a mouse that was Very Definitely Alive - very freshly caught by the looks of it - moving and even required a couple of tries to get onto the dustpan because it kept wriggling off it - without

Screaming
Running away
Hiding outside for half an hour
Phoning someone else or
Just leaving the house and hoping it would be Dead/Gone by the time I got back.


So yes Supreme Moment of Bravery for me!

Of course, I got as far as the front door, realised it was very wet and I had no shoes on and had to just fling it onto the grass, so it may not be Entirely Well. Hopefully well enough to get off side before the cat finds it again. I'm not sure I could be THAT brave twice in one day.

I have to say, I surprised myself!

Hmm. They might be a little trickier if the cats manage to catch one...
