It's only a few hours drive from NJ to MA. Get in your NSX and drive the printer to Dave. I'm sure he'll buy you a new printer if he can save the mouse.:sorrow:
LOL.... I just might... live and let live.

How about grabbing it by the tail with a pair of long needle nose pliers and tugging him out? They are pretty durable, I pulled a mouse off of one of those sticky traps by its tail and he was so happy and took off running.

get one of those dusters in a can, turn the can upside down and give it a blizzard.
Once it's hard and cold just throw it outside in the sun for it to thaw out.
make sure to send it packing with a 9V battery for AED.

Oh mannnn - that hawk video is definately not a happy time.
I just spend 45 minutes trying to tear apart the printer without crushing the mouse. So far I have bleeding knuckes and a printer with the lid torn off, plastic pieces snapped and broken and the mouse still stuck there.
I was concerned all the noise I was making as the plastic pieces were snapping was going to make it have a heart attack. Then I would have a dead mouse and a dead printer.
Dave if you weren't 5 hours away I think I would have brought Mr. Mousey to you.
I need to pull out all the bars to remove the last roller piece that it is somehow attached to. I can't even see what its head is attached to since it is smack up against the bottom of the roller. So far I've been using pliers and a large screwdriver as a pry bar. Ideas anyone?

Take some better pics! Let's get this poor guy out! (then feed him to your cat)
This is what Don just came home to 
.
As I progressed with the tearing apart of our printer I noticed Mr Mouse's rear leg was broken. So with Don's help we were able to get him released from the little rubber wheel where he was caught.
He's not doing very well. Part of his head was crushed by the wheel.
Since he was suffering we put Mr. Mouse to sleep. :sorrow:
I'm going to go drown my sorrow in a glass of port.

At least you know you did what you could good sir.
Poor thing. :frown: Wonder what made him climb in there
FYI, Pooh is a female Primer.
Carla - it was very humane of you to try to rescue the poor creature. I'm sorry it didn't end positively, but you gave it a valiant effort and you should be proud of yourself for that. :applause:
R.I.P. Mr. Mouse. :angel:
Well at least you ended its suffering. I am assuming Don did that and not you. If I came home and saw my wife had torn apart this printer to try to save a mouse... I would find it very cute. Helping her take it out.... one of those things you remember. My girlfriend had two cats, one became ill and needed fluid twice a day. And one night she had setup the whole injection needle and fluid on a pole thing in the bathroom... told me to get the cat and I was so tired and it was so dark I grabbed the wrong cat.... held it tight so it wouldn't escape. She's like "Can you get the other cat please".... LOL... Then she stabbed herself with the needle... after yelling at her, I grabbed it away from her and proceeded to stab myself with it... LOL... had to call a doctor to see if we both needed tetanus shots. It was all pretty comical. You just remember those times.

Are you contributing to the "Buy Carla and Don a new printer" fund?
This was a lot funnier when we knew he had a chance at an honest mouse's life ...or was he really a she.
Hey Dave. Love the story about you and your girlfriend. Don and I had to do the IV thing with my 19 year old cat. Well he had to do it because I couldn't poke the needle in. The first time all the fluid came squirting out because the needle had gone in and back out. I like your story better.
Yes don had to put it in he little Baggie of death. Though I did try to give it water before I knew it had the kind of squashed head, at least I didn't name it.
Gosh Phoenix, now my secret is out.
