On the left the house mouse.
Below the field mouse:
Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,
O' what a panic's in my breastie!
Robert Burns
The second is more like my recollection because the face was so clear.

Because you saw the face so well, at least you'll be able to identify it in a police line-up.
Cheers.
Randall: nice one:)
Wee?
Ah, that's what I'd do if I saw one here.
I have picked those up in my leather clad hands when teaching my barn kittens to become mousers. Bet you wouldn't be doing that!!! ;-)
They became excellent mousers, by the way, so I have to assume that the combo of their talent and my teachings worked!
House mice aren't that pretty, but field mice are... just like gerbils, but I suppose they can still gnaw through your wiring.

Field mouse for sure! They wont bother you.
GG: fortunately I simply screamed.
Ponita: good job I didn't marry a farmer. I'd be a dead loss.
Scarlet: there's a place for all creatures - but NOT in my kitchen! At night when MTL has retired I find myself making clattering noises before going in the kitchen. Lily livered I know:)
John.g: promise?
Peanut butter... and a big hammer. They'll no be there long.
Jimmy: are you offering?
Cute, very cute, but oh so much better if not living in your house.
I won't horrify you with the story of the time some rats found their way into the garden shed and gnawed through the back of the fridge freezer to get at the food. One stayed too long and I was met with a very stiff creature when I went to fetch some bread...Oh, I have just horrified you with the story of the rats....Sorry.
Sharon: thanks for that ducks! Gnawed through the back of a fridge freezer? Who knew?
They are quite cute, both, if only they didn't make such a mess. In the woods here you get tiny little dark brown ones, like best leather glove brown, with very long, thin black tails.
Eryl: if only they'd stay there.
There's something small eating things in our garage. Not that there's much to eat. I'm thinking it is birds rather than mice although I haven't thought out a way to get more accurate evidence.
Rashbre: I imagine sooner or later a mouse would leave a calling card.
