This Alces alces was so tired from it's trip into town (there was a sale at Carl's Fine Foods) that it took a nap on someone's front lawn, and refused to get up and leave.
Personally I would have assumed it needed a large can of PBR before it toddled off for the city limits, and got it a six-pac to take with it.
He leaves when he is ready.
ReplyDeleteThe metaphorical 800 lb gorilla.
DeleteI did that once and I don't remember being coddled and fussed over.
ReplyDeleteIf you grew a long beard? Maybe rubbed rogaine all over?? I'm sure there's potential for you.
DeleteIs tha a moose?
ReplyDeleteYep. Early enough that can't tell if it's male/female....looks around 350-400 pounds. Adults can get easily twice that weight.
DeleteThe things that will not leave...
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the ones that are big enough to block your driveway.
DeleteSome friends of ours who live in Nelson, BC had a moose get his head stuck inside their kitchen door a couple of years ago. He was curious.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend in Anchorage come out to her yard to find her 2 year old daughter sitting under a moose who was feeding on their shrubs.
DeleteI bet there are many houses unfairly branded haunted because a moose got into the bathroom and moans because it can't get out. Best not to let them in in the first place. Mooses are hard enough to coax off the front lawn. You'd think we'd learn.
ReplyDeleteOh, we're used to those happenings up here; we always check before bed. However, when the Griz use the kitchen in the middle of the night when they get the munchies.....that's the worst.
DeleteWow That is tired. Unfortunately our meeses numbers are declining drastically and science is puzzled as to why. the last one I saw was coming down the trail at me .I was portaging my Mad River in the BWCAW...:)
ReplyDeleteWhy are the meese declining over there?
DeleteAs long as he's not driving. Maybe some peanuts to munch as well
ReplyDeleteMyself, I'm not going to confiscate his keys......
DeleteWhose moose was loose? Oh, never mind. In my DJ days I was "Bruce on the Loose". Now please forget that.
ReplyDeleteOh no, that'll not be forgotten, trust me.
