I got a new mouse today. It was free, too.

Not sure what happened to the old one... I suppose its hardware just wore out.

I call it a new mouse, but it's actually more like an old mouse, since it looks just like the original.

I like a really fast mouse, but this thing's overdoing it. Darn thing keeps running away, every time I try to catch it! I hear it running on the fins in my baseboard heater, and I even caught a glimpse of it once. We made eye contact, and it bolted.

You'd think that with all the cats in this house, we'd never have mice. You'd be wrong.

People worried about us having parrots, too. So far, they haven't killed any of the cats, though there have been some close calls.
