A classic story of rodent vs human. Except in this case, it wasn't just any mouse. It was our mouse. A tiny one that we had rescued from a snowstorm and brought home to take care of. It had a name and everything. But mice will be mice. Ours escaped, and this is the story of how we caught it and bid it adieu.
We're caught wearing shorts in tick-infested woods. But we had no idea we'd be hiking out there in the first place, or that we'd meet Marcus, aka Tom Bombadil, who lives in an old wooden house from 1870 and who loves to eat wild mushrooms.
A seeing-eye dog learns to find bus stops. In this episode, we meet Powers, a black lab who helps out my visually impaired friend Mike. Powers is smart and obedient. But he has one big weakness. And it's not fire hydrants.
The outro for this piece by Lindsay Starke, who handily won last month's podcast challenge. Music is Le Banjo by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, performed by BachScholar.
