Bullwinkle Comes Calling

It's a beautiful Monday morning and was just getting ready to take the dogs on their morning walk when Hardy dog goes bonkers on the porch, barking her head off. Soon all four dogs are barking and focused on one corner off the deck. I look out the window and can see a large brown body moving amongst the trees. Lo and behold, here comes Bullwinkle. He sauntered across my leach field and onto the trail that runs along my property line. Dang, this is one big animal, I think. Second thought was - gee, that's where me and the dogs go for our daily walk. Hmmm. Note to self: don't walk the dogs down near the trail. Moose are very skittish and can be downright mean. Last year two dogs were trampled to death by a moose here in Crystal Lakes. Big question now is: where the heck can I take the dogs for a walk? Guess we'll just have to run up and down the driveway....

  1. Update: Mr. Bullwinkle returned this evening although we couldn't see him we sure could hear him... kinda sounds like a sick cow.

  2. Do you have a shotgun for that moose? Moose meat is actually pretty good. Moose burgers. Not that I like killing animals. Mainly for protection! You lucky lady, it looks beautiful up there. Right now we are getting lots of rain from Alex, but we need it! Keep us posted on your blog. Mel & Carol
