The cats had the treadmill surrounded, and we thought the mouse was under it, but it was actually inside the works. Sizzle, sizzle, black smoke and dead treadmill. We took it outside and let the mouse out, but it looked seriously injured, like its back legs didn't work. Little sucker cost me $200.

On the plus side, I had a better idea of my preferred criteria when ordering a replacement, so hopefully my new one will be even better. I even went with the accidental damage warranty, which is not something I usually do, but the little mousie made me do it.
Oh, yuck! The poor little paraplegic thing! I hope he was quickly put out of his misery by a hungry hawk. I hope your new treadmill lasts longer!
