‘Welsh Tidy Mouse’ Tidies Tiny Welsh House
For months, a mysterious helper was cleaning up the work bench in Rodney Holbrook’s shed every night. He caught the visitor, tail and all, on video.

My garage mice do NOT do that!! Instead, my snow blower’s impeller and auger would not turn. I figured the belt is either broken or off-pulley. SO— I remove the bottom pan to gain access and--------at least 50 mouse-placed acorns fall out!!! They caused the belt to slide off the pulley.
Dang mice…

Your snow blower must be an inviting place to stash acorns—saving them nearly up for later. Haha!
One of the most hilarious mice stories I have - and there are many - involved a shared cabin in Vermont. Someone left a bag of dog food downstairs. The mice took every single piece of it upstairs chewed a hole through an old blanket chest and desposited the entire contents up there.

We had mice in our house in suburban Chicagoland, and we also had a cat. Once I found dry cat food stored in the back of a drawer. Also once after a burst pipe (still don’t miss winter), they had to cut through the dining room floor to find the leak. In between the boards, there was a collection of Hershey kiss wrappers. Apparently the mice had gotten into our stash in the pantry.
All the while, our sweet kitty was nestled upstairs on our bed. But at least I understood why she would occasionally just sit and stare at a wall. There were also a few exciting cat-mouse chases over the years, very Tom and Jerry.
I found a stash of Hershey’s kiss wrappers under a bed. Apparently my son felt guilty about eating them. I told him please just to use the trash can it was much less trouble to clean up.
