Very cute puzzle!

Aw, but he's so cute. That was a really fun puzzle, Aldege.

Very cute, but it sounds as if there might be less? So which one(s) get the boot?
#4: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 18, 2016
The video of Paytyn on her tummy is so cute. She's going to be walking before you know it. And the video from 5 years ago was also very cute.

Love the picture. So who's leaving or is there a litter on the way?

Thx aunties Jota,Teresa,Norma and Donna. And thank you uncle Sensei.

I'm glad it was an enjoyable solve but I don't think I made it clear what exactly goes on here. The thirteenth member that comes and goes is the occasional mouse that arrives looking for a meal but ends up being a meal for either the cats or even Wrinkles who it turns out is a pretty good mouser for a dog. Here in the country it is not uncommon to get mice to visit you. The cats and Wrinkles like to leave remains for me to clean up.lol. :)

Yes auntie Norma those are awesome videos especially that one of Destyny and me 5 yrs ago. Isn't it amazing how all the girls looked so much alike at birth? I wish there was a way that someone could make a link so that people who are not on facebook could see these pictures and videos. I'm sure they would love them. :)

This might work.

Fun puzzle, Aldege. We get them here in suburban Seattle as well.

When I was first married we bought a house in a new subdivision next to a cotton field. My cat would regularly bring me mouse gifts and then when she had a litter of kittens she would carefully bring live ones home for her kittens.

Gee thanks Norma. What do you mean it might work? Do we need someone who is not on facebook to try it to find out if it does work. I asked Niki to try it but she said that because she is on facebook it will go to her profile and she won't be able to tell if it does or doesn't. Can someone here that is not on facebook try Norma's link and let us know? :)

Thx uncle Sgusa. I think most homes that I have lived in even in upscale neighbourhoods have had the odd one. :)

Wow that's kinda cool Norma. Not so much for you to clean the remains but to know she is caring for her young is neat. :)

Terrible year for mice here. Our household varies from 3 (hubby, me and Katy the dog) to 6 or 7. We are catching 3 or 4 mice in the traps every few days. I reached my limit when I discovered they had gotten in to my baking cupboard and chewed holes in every bag of coconut, nuts and chocolate chips. I would love to get a cat but hubby is allergic. I might have to kick him out and borrow a cat from someone. Great puzzle Aldege

The family photo in Norma's link is mostly covered by a smaller screen requiring a fb login or sign-up, and the link to see more photos also brings me to the login page. If I'm ever near Plaster Rock, NB I'll invite myself over to meet the clan in person, although I'd be happy to give the mice a pass.

We average about the same as you Susan. Prior to all the cats I would get 2 or 3 in traps placed in the basement. Usually very small ones. I even caught a couple of small moles in them. Funny thing is they never get in our food and I never see droppings on the main floor. It's usually in the upstairs hallway. I would kick the old man out if I were you. Cats are easier to look after and cheaper to feed. If the cat is a mouser it at least serves a couple of purposes. Catching mice and companionship. Your husband,like most men including me probably only does one of those tasks,and does a half ass job of it too.lol. Providing you can drive that tractor to plow snow what use is he. Glad you liked the puzzle auntie Susan. :)

Ah that's too bad auntie Lollipop. I was really hoping you would be able to see some pictures. Paytyn and her sisters are really cute. You be sure to visit us unannounced anytime if your this way. Our address is 2012 route 390. You'll see the 58 Dodge parked in the driveway. If our van is not there just come up the front porch or side deck and let yourself in. Our doors are never locked. Be prepared to play fetch with the dogs though. Make yourself a pot of coffee and relax. We probably won't be out long. :)
