I am not okay with moose!

I've been worried about Brutus getting into trouble with Alaskan wildlife since we lived here. I let him out to go potty about ten minutes ago and unfortunately there was a moose out back. Brutus started barking his head off, which I am sure is what everyone in the neighborhood was dying to hear at three AM. Then I saw what he was barking at and ( Read more... )

I HAVE AN ICON FOR MOOSE!!! aquaenigma May 13 2009, 12:58:58 UTC
Wow. Moose?! Hope your strawberries are ok, and umm... that you are able to replace the produce you lobbed lol!

I hope you don't have any more run ins with the wildlife, your dog barking at 3 am is better than him NOT barking YKWIM? Glad no one was hurt (minus the possibility of the strawberries...)

Oh, and opossums carry rabies too, I can totally understand not wanting them to attack a beloved pet. Yikes.

HAHA! Great icon!

My strawberries were spared, thankfully. One of them is turning red already I hope they taste good and even if they don't, they are nice to look at.

And I am grateful he alerted me to the intruder. It was a giood reminder that I need to be more careful when I let him out because there are also wolves and bears out at this time of year.

Brutus was so lucky we have a fence. When I saw the fence in daylight I noticed the moose left quite the dent where she first kicked. She would have hit him squarely in the chest but for the fence.

I wish you could have done my wedding! I passed this information along to her. The wedding will be on the 18th or 19th, for some reason I've drawn a blank!

Aw, thanks! We still have that weekend open on our calendar so I hope we can work with her! It's great you're helping her with the planning -- though it must be hard since you're both long distance!
