A few years back, we lived in a house that we heated with a wood stove. My husband's and my bedroom was in the lower level of the house with a wall that separated it from the "basement" area that contained the wood stove.

My husband had a habit of hanging his pants on a hook on the basement side of the wall, making it easy to just slip them on to step outside for more wood.

One night around 11 he said he was going to put in the last wood for the night and went to the basement to put on his pants. Suddenly, I heard beating and banging on the wall between the basement and bedroom. My husband came jumping around the wall, one leg in the pants, one out, jumping up and down while slapping his pants.

It seems that while putting on the second leg of his pants, he discovered that a mouse was already occupying that leg! It took a minute or two for my husband to get the pants off, while the mouse was trying to find a way out!

He stopped hanging his pants on the basement side!
