Moose on the loose

[Entry backdated]

Emma has been in some significant rear-end pain for a few days, and the vet thinks she might have gotten kicked by a moose or sustained some other blunt injury. We were skeptical about that (and actually still are, in terms of how that would happen with no one knowing it, as Emma is not quiet about intruders of any sort). But as to the actual opportunity, these pix from Nancy this morning make that possibility plain on a visit from a crabapple-marauding moose. (The easily-hopped fence is five feet.)



Darla follows with her own backyard pic of their young husky Riken having a close encounter too. Right after she took this picture, the moose hopped the fence into their yard, but did not seem bothered by the dog, and Darla was able to get Riken inside without incident.
