My cousin is moving to a new house. She has a dog, a cat, and a pet mouse, but the animals don't get along in the car, so she can take only one at a time. Also, she can't leave the dog alone with the cat, because the dog chases the cat if no one is watching. And she can't leave the cat and the mouse together, because...well, you know what would happen if she did. How can my cousin get all three of their pets to their new house?
