I imagine you'll be "hearing" that mouse for a long time.
In Southern California where I grew up we had alligator lizards, cute little lizards with long tails. Once I was at my dad's office and we heard a sound in the kitchen. We were so worried it was a mouse, and you know how one mouse usually means there's a whole slew waiting to take over. But after poking around for a bit I discovered the "mouse" was actually an alligator lizard! They were hiding in the toaster oven tray. Good thing I found them before anybody made toast...
Lol in the toaster oven tray? Maybe they figured it was a good place to keep warm? That's cool that you were able to find them and get them back to their rightful place OUTSIDE. Silly things, but super charismatic.
Yes, the mouse shoe has been squeaking at me all day and I'm contemplating whether I should start squeaking back at it 🤣
LOL do it! Or change your shoes...
