That's the dogs water dish downstairs lol. 2 in one day, weird. It's that time of year for them to try and come in. I've never had them drown themselves before. You would think they could get out?
May be different types of mice than what we get, as I've tossed mice in a 5 gallon bucket of water before, on purpose, only to watch them swim around for a while...
And, yeah. I would think they could just "stand-up" and reach the edge of the bowl. Stupid mice!
I think I got the house sealed-up last year (knock on wood), but the "shep" (shed/shop) is still wide open, and it's not uncommon to see one of them scurrying around when I first turn on the lights. (Little bastids!)
