A friend wanted =20 to try it so we planned to go one cold morning. =20 Before we left I checked my mouse trap in the basement =20 and had caught a mouse. So I put it in a plastic bag and put =20 it in my pocket. and forgot it was there. =20 While we were fishing a fellow came around doing a survey of =20 what we were using for bait. I remembered the mouse and quickly =20 put it on my hook and down the hole. =20 He came to me and asked what I was using. A mouse I said - A what? =20 he answered I said Une souris! - I understand English he said and when =20 I showed him the wet mouse on the hook I though he would barf! =20 =20 I'll not eat any fish from this lake he said as he stomped off! =20 Have an enjoyable week! =20 Paul =20 =20 On April 16, 2017 at 10:33 PM Donna Crossland <dcrossland@eastlink.ca>=20 wrote: =20 =20 My mother=E2=80=99s gray jays are still coming to the yard regularly for= food. =20 They are believed to be nesting nearby.=20 On Friday, the cat caught a mouse, possibly its first one (it=E2=80=99s= a young=20 cat).
