A Mouse Ate My Rope

I've heard this before but always been somewhat skeptical. Sure enough, there was a full on core-shot, rope is now trashed.
I checked all my other gear and it is all good. Thankfully he left both of my half ropes alone.

And they won't either. They can smell where they originated and run in total fear of having their little balls bitten right off if they even attempt to naw at either one of em.
