That won't work here. My dog means more to me than the mice.
He's getting on in years at 13, but still tries to act like a pup.
Anyway he's going to break my heart when he goes, the last thing I want
to do is kill him instead of the mice.

I have two 13yr old Samoyeds, brothers, it's tough when they get
older. They use to pull me on scooters and skis, follow me all over
even on the tractor. It's been down in the 20's here lately and we
all just hang out around the fire trying to keep our old bones warm.
But if the squirels are around that is great fun for them. I try not
to think of the going part, but one has just about lost his hip and
the other has a torn ACL.
