Morning Moose

Baby moose

We were woken up early this morning by our lab/Shepard puppy and her barking. She usually sleeps in the living room, so I came out to quiet her down. In our backyard on the other side of the fence I saw a baby moose. Where there's a baby, there's always a mama. So I walked further into the living room and saw the mama... AND another baby. Matt and I sat and watched them for awhile eating our weeds in the back, hoping they wouldn't make it around to the front where the good stuff was (veggies and flowers). The babies eventually found Matt's sugar snap peas, though. It was fun to watch as the babies ventured off to the front yard and then across the street, while the mama stayed in the backyard. A neighbor dog started barking and those babies went speeding back to their mother and stuck close after that. I guess that's what they get for going off on their own! Haha! 

A little perspective to how close she is
