  1. Under the couch?
    In the couch?
    Behind the couch cushions?
    Under the fridge/stove/other large appliance?
    Under the bed?

    Julia likes to put things in the fridge, to “Keep ’em safe, Mummy.” Any chance it’s in the fridge? 😉

  2. Thank you for adding the 4 books (I don’t watch TV either). Now all we need are 4 bands / albums / venues 🙂

    If you get a chance, visit Ottawa sometime-it is just as Charles describes in his stories***CV

  3. Amelie is one of my favorite movies as well.. I could watch it over and over again! Its nice that you added the books for us non-tv folks. I don’t watch more than about an hour of tv a week, and its usually the science channel or Food network.. lol

  4. It’s between your blankets. You’ll probably have to strip the bed. And you’ll have to leave a sacrifice for the Dust Bunny Gods. Chaos says they like tuna, but you have to open the can for them.

  5. look for sparkly red mouse in the sofa cracks, or somewhere in the bed sheets, or in the dirty clothes hamper, or in the freezer, or the yarn basket, or in your coat sleeve or pocket……..
    Good luck – one of the dachshunds has OCD, (Bella) and when we misplace one of her favorite green balls, it’s BIG trouble.

  6. The colours on that bag are outstanding 🙂
    Chaos sounds like ben in htat respect. The problem with Ben is he can never remeber where he left anything so he comes and looks for us and expecta us to find it for him!

  7. *Holds temples and hums* The mouse is in the last place you will look. Phew. That one drained me.

    Great movie list! I can’t get enough of Amelie. I find something new I like about that movie every time I watch it.

  8. Thanks for all the, er, interesting suggestions about the location of SRM (who is probably not lonely, since I assume sparkly neon green mouse is with him).

    If I find either of them in the fridge/freezer/stove, I’m moving out – the cat can obviously take care of himself at that point! 🙂

    I have a strong suspicion that they’re hanging out under the stove, way in back behind the power cord where the yardstick can’t get to. I am awfully tired of pulling out the stove, tho. I have resorted to pulling the tails off the other sparkly mice in an attempt to increase their appeal…

    Eileen – Hmm, you should worry if you’ve started channeling Chaos! ;p
