Mr. Jingles

Ok im still cracking up over this.. I had to share..
WE have a big trashcan we keep in the garage I rarely use it its mainly for Cris' stuff. cleaning out his truck and for wood shavings (hes a carpenter)Anyway..We keep our extra frigde in the garage that we put water bottles, coke etc. in. Well everytime i went out there..I swore i heard something in the trashcan.But thought it was my imagination...well this went on for about a month because i had looked and looked and found nothing.
Well finally cris and i both went out there and he said did u hear that..I was like YESSSSSSSSSSSs..so glad to know im not nuts.so he empties it...nothing. NOTHING was in there. But..there was lots of chewed up paper. So we knew something was in there. But we finally gave up looking. Then about an hour or so later we went back out there and guess what was at the bottom of the empty trashcan..looking for his home? Mr. Jingles :) the cutest little mouse big black eyes! he was honestly the cutest little wild mouse Ive ever seen, Reminded me of my pet hamster when i was little. Of course I begged Cris not to kill him and to let him go.
He actually thought he was cute to...So he walked down the street to an open area and let him go...Off he ran.But Cris did say if i ever see that thing in here again I'll have to kill him.:(
So thats the end right? The end to all my questions of that noise.
Well tonight...guess what came home? YES he was back in our trashcan. looking for his home..stuck again because it was still empty.
I'm telling you guys it was the SAME one. same color spots everything. How he was able to find his way back and to his trashcan amazes me!
I looked at cris and once again pleaded to not hurt him.
And he didnt...We let him go again. This time a little further away.
Im going to just flip if this little guy comes back again!
Oh and if you have ever Seen the Movie Green Mile you can understand why i named him Mr. Jingles :)
he looks kinda like this guy....
