[AG-EQ] There's a moose loose in the hoose!!!

Hi Jewel.
I'd have thought, with his strong prey drive, Guideon would be an excellent
mouser.  Guess not.

Or should that be "there's a mouse louse in the house!
It appears that I am, unwillingly,  providing food and the most comfortable
of lodgings for a vast 
population of the little sods!!!
However, my * uninvited guests seem to be a cut above the normal run of
mice/rats as they are * 100% 
house-trained.
Usually, one of the telltale give aways signs that one has verminous guests
is that they are messy 
little beasts and leave their excresions behind them in vast quantities, but
not this crowd.
Pearl, my homehelp, who is very conscientious and thorough, says that there
isn't a trace of them, 
but I have evidence that they are here, and not just one or two either!
How do I know this?  I left a roll of Guideon's meat out on the table
overnight, and in the morning, 
there was a small scoop taken out of the open end;  and NO!!!  it wasn't
Guideon who had made the 
little scoop.  He, 100% had had no, overnight,  access to it.
I left the dogroll on the table the following night, and it seems that the
original scout had taken 
the glad tidings back to headquarters and had made an encouraging report,
because, the whole army 
came and the scoop had been made into a crater of Vesuvian proportions.
The next night, that is, last, there was no dogroll but some poisoned bait
and that, too had gone 
this morning!
Just where they have their nest, I haven't the remotest idea!!!
I have wondered if they may be in the wall behind the coal range.  I can't
hear any rustles or 
squeaks, but, occasionally, Guideon, who has his chain tether just beside
the range will give a 
couple of woofs, for, what seems to be to be, no reason!!!
