I was feeling a bit under the weather today, so I stayed home in case I had the bug that’s been going around lately. Better safe than sorry, and it’s bad enough feeling sick yourself without sharing the wealth with others.
As I was convalescing in my living room, I saw a cow moose and her two calves run across our front yard, and was able to get a couple photos out of our second story window.
This is something we see a lot of around here. In the summer, instead of having deer come in the yard and help themselves to our garden, we have moose eating the cabbages. It drives the dogs crazy, they bark through the window but it doesn’t really bother the moose. They are used to seeing dogs, and the truth is, in a confrontation, the moose wouldn’t have a lot to worry about.
A pack of wolves is another story, though. We did have a string of wolf sightings last year around the fringes of North Pole and Fairbanks, and even some attacks on dogs. So far this year, they have been keeping their distance. It’s a good thing for them, for the majority of Alaskan citizens are well armed, and won’t hesitate to shoot in defense of life and property, and that includes their pets.
