I have discovered the best thing to do on the first rainy day of summer: go to the park.
Now, this may seem counter-intuitive, but let me explain. Mice live in the park, Field mice that love to burrow. Mice reproduce every twenty-one days. They are sexually mature at 4-7 weeks. Two mice will make up to 50 new mice during a three month period
. If the timing is right, and the rain comes mid-summer, just as the burrows are brim-full of runoff, the park grass will team with what I like to refer to as a torrent of leaping and squealing “rodentia minutia”.
Easy pickings for a small dog bred for going to ground, as it were.
People tend to whine in the summer rain. I dine.
It’s all in the way you see things, no?
