Under appreciated mouse

     There are times when a mouse is hungry, and when a mouse is hungry strange things sometimes happen.  Last night I was sitting in my easy chair reading a book on "How Mice Conquer the World" when all of a sudden I felt a rumble in my stomach.  Now this was not the ordinary hungry feeling that everyone gets.  This was much worse.  So I put my book down and walked over to my refrigerator, and looked for something to eat.  The fridge was empty!  What, "how could I forget to replenish my food this week?", I thought.  Well, I told myself that I must have something to eat or I won't be able to sleep tonight. I searched and searched and searched, but I could find absolutely nothing.  Then a thought occured to me, I shouldn't have to replenish my fridge, the problem is, the staff here at the store does not feed me at all.  That was the problem.  Well I'll just have to fix that, I thought, so I went up to the main floor.  The store had long since been closed for the day. I'll just withdraw what is rightfully mine.  If they won't feed me I'll just feed myself....the free way.  I hopped up on the food cooler and snagged some of the best cheese and meat, and then I moved over to the shelves and found the yummy brownie mixes. I did disrupt the shelves a little bit as a friendly present to the staff the next morning.  Nothing better than a mouse making a mess, I thought.  Nobody appreciates me anymore, well maybe some day they will.  Very soon my hunger was gone, and I was sound asleep.

Scavenger Hunt

So I mentioned last week about a scavenger hunt.  Well I decided to make a list for my friend Wilbur the Pig at the Meat Shop.  Here is what I got so far.

Wilbur must find something….

 

Sweet

Salty

Pleasant aroma

Soft

Orange

 

     What do you think? Wilbur will be so surprised when he finds out I made a scavenger hunt for him. There are so many things in the store, it is hard to narrow it down to only a few things.  I think Wilbur will get a kick out of it.

 

A few days later…

 

     Okay so when Wilbur went through the store he told me that he was offended by some of the items we had at the store.  I asked him which ones he didn’t like.  He said “First off what is up with that Maple Bacon Taffy?  I kind of chuckled a little bit because I knew he would find that first.  For the salty item, he found the bacon salt…..I think he is beginning to wonder if this is a prank….well it sort of is.  However, he did love the candles and the soft multipurpose towels.  Yes, the last one was a pumpkin, and the only reason I threw that in there, was because we got a lot of new Halloween merchandise in, and I thought Wilbur would like to check out some of the new stuff.  Overall I think it was a success!

            The House Mouse is back from vacation!!! I can't wait to tell you about all the wonderful adventures that I had in the past week. First of all it was wonderful to have a week off of blogging and working. Camping was a great success. We road on boats at the lake, went fishing, swimming, and played lots of games. The most enjoyable part was just relaxing. Now that I am back I am trying to think of something fun that I can do in the weeks to come. I just haven't figured out what that is yet. So tell me, what happened while I was gone? Did anything change? What's new? I will have to catch up with all of my friends later. For now I want to tell you that I am planning a scavenger hunt! What do you think of that! I haven't quite punched out all the details but I will keep thinking about it. Right now I am just trying to get back into the flow of things again. I hope to see you at the store soon. We have lots of new merchandise and it's coming in like crazy too. See you soon!!!
