Moose!!

This morning I was walking to the bus stop as usual and I walked past the neighbour's house. They usually have a large, sad looking dog tied up outside their house, but this morning there were two. They had really big ears and were watching me solemnly as I walked past...oh. They weren't dogs at all, they were two baby moose (mooses?) lying in the grass. Which meant that somewhere in the vicinity was a large and almost certainly extremely protective mother moose. Ah.
Of course I stopped long enough to take a photo, after first looking around furtively to make sure I wasn't about to get my head stomped on (this is apparently a moose's favourite way of dealing with threats to their young) then I hurried on to catch my bus. I wonder what happened to the neighbour's dog? Perhaps the mother moose fed it to her babies...... we may never know......
