Sleeping Moose


 Moose are frequenting our house on a weekly basis.  This morning was no exception.  As I was getting ready for work, two moose meandered by the bedroom window and peered inside.  Francie and Zoee immediately retreated to the bed, but Abigail decided to stand her ground.  She jumped onto the window sill and began to growl and hiss at these strange looking creatures.  There was no way she was going to let me hang out in HER yard!  However, the 14 1/2 year old kitty quickly lost interested and decided that a nap was of much more value than watching two moose tromp through the snow.

Obviously the moose shared her thoughts.  After munching on a few twigs, they decided to bed down in our back yard.  One nestled herself just inside the tree line while the other plopped down near the back deck.  It wasn't long before the two massive animals had fallen asleep and seemed to be settled in for a long spring nap.  After three hours, they finally awoke and decided to move on their way. 

While we see moose weekly, I never grow tired of seeing them.  Their size and their homeliness make them a joy to watch, even when they're sleeping!
