The Alaskan Moose
The Alaskan Moose - big, grand, beautiful creatures. Big, grand, pain in the tuchus! These marvelous beauties have done grand things like eat our garden, drive our crazy dog crazier, and hold me hostage in the house while laying in our front yard.
Outsiders, yes you who watch the "Alaska Reality" shows, think it would be grand to see these beasts from your living room window while sipping a hot toddy and watching the snowfall. Yes, that a beautiful Hollywood vision, but it's just not reality.
Reality is checking your yard before letting your dogs out, as moose have been known to stomp dogs to death. Reality is they are 500 pounds and will take on a human they see as a threat. Reality is they are near-sited animals and who see humans, smaller than them, invading their space.
Yes. Big, grand, beautiful creatures, when they aren't found bedded down in your yard from the night before, keeping you from getting to your garage, or keeping your dog from going potty in the morning.
