I Have a Mouse In My House

I have a mouse in my house my friend Carlyle said. She added, “I see it so often I have pictures of it; it is well fed. The weird thing is that Mammoth has not noticed it, the hog! Mammoth is her do-nothing-but-sleep-overweight dog. One of the pictures is of the mouse running past Mammoth, her lout. Mammoth is lying on his back, mouth opened wide, tongue out. I called my husband over to look at the photo. “That’s a rat,” he said. Explains the bumpy pink tail and the enormous head.

Hmmm...methinks Mammoth had better wake up and smell the roses. It's never good when the family decides the dog is a rat!
