might just invite their little friends over, and since mice are
hoarders, you might just find they've stowed away
some borrowed barbie furniture...it's possible! While some take
a dip in the humidifer tank, the others can get a little tan under the 50 watt
heater bar! Now that's livin' ; 0</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>My worst mouse extraction so far was one that had died on the bass
bridge of a Baldwin vertical (model 6000 I think). Thankfully I could use
tweezers, so it wasn't all that bad really. Stank a lot, though!</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>That's a cute story. Here's my best D-C story:
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Horrible stench emanating from studio upright. Investigation reveals
mouse who found its way into the reservoir bucket but could not find his
way out. If you've never encountered this situation, believe me, you don't
want to.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>These people were self-described "conservationists" which (in their
definition) meant they refused to use mouse traps in their home. They
asked me (and of course I complied) to devise a "mouse ladder" to put
inside the bucket. (This was in the day of the taller reservoir buckets.)
Also tried to mouse-proof the piano (using physical impediments) and THAT
is no piece of cake. Mice can squeeze their little bodies (I don't think
any of their internal organs are anchored) into an opening the size of a
dime (that's a full-grown one)! I had to build a "cage" around the pedals,
inside. Further tragedy was averted.</DIV>
