Kevin wants to go and see his brother, who lives across the valley, and he wants to take his three pets with him, a dog, a cat, and a mouse.
However, the shortest way to his brother's house involves a river crossing, and Kevin only has a very small boat that can carry him and just one of his pets.
He doesn't want to leave the dog alone with the cat, nor does he want to leave the cat alone with the mouse. However, the dog and mouse are great friends.
How can Kevin cross the river to see his brother, and make sure his pets are all happy?

Puzzle 648
I was travelling from Chesterton to Newcastle recently when I came across a sign which had fallen off its post at the crossroads.
It was marked to Newcastle, Chesterton, Knutton and Silverdale.
Unfortunately I didn't know which road to take to Newcastle and had hoped the sign would help.
Luckily I had a brainwave which helped me put the sign back pointing correctly to Newcastle.
What was my idea?
