Ok, you can bark at that....

4:30 this morning ...
Deuce looses his mind, starts barking his fool head off.

So I go get my spotlight flashlight, walk down to that end ...
in my housecoat and Sorrels!

And come face to face with a massive bull moose!
Ok, Deuce, you can bark at that!

He was gorgeous. Amazing how quietly an animal that big can move!
He hardly made a sound.
I'd have never known he was here if Deuce hadn't spotted him.

You and the FurKids do the STRANGEST things at Oh:dark:Thirty in the morning!

Good boy Deuce! You can bark at that for sure! I've only been near a moose once near Yellowstone and it was a Bull...and I don't think he was afraid of ANYTHING! Cars were going in and out of the parking lot of the scenic view area and he just stood there lazily eating his lunch lol. I wanted to smack some tourists though, because they thought it was a good idea to try and "feed" the moose

A moose has no real reason to fear one dog and running from a pack as you said is pretty useless. Next time Deuce shouts off a warning you should bring your camera...never know what might be wandering your fence!

Thats amazing! Moose are so cool... There were a couple 100 feet or so off the road in Rocky Mountain National Park a few years back. We all stopped and got awesome pictures and just stood in awe. One was in a little pond, cooling off I guess. And two more were off a way from him munching on some grass..

Thats amazing that he was by your house. And you've definitely got a GREAT burglar alarm. Way to go Duece!

Sure, that's balmy around here for this time of year. At least I put on boots and not the crocs I keep by the door for emergency dashes outside!

I was talking to a friend who lives in my area yesterday. Told her about the moose and her response was "oh, that's Elliot!" She has 12 dogs and four horses. He hangs out at her place quite often and eats the hay she puts out for her horses. I had a good giggle--if you knew this lady, you not be at all suprised that she has named a wild animal!
