I believe that the word Moose means "Eater of twigs" in Ojibwa. At least that's what I was told back in my younger days.
This gal showed up this morning along with last year's calf. The calf was in the bush and I couldn't get a picture, so you are stuck with the cow.
The cow was doing some willow trimming for morning breakfast.
As you can see, the moose and the dogs have things worked out. Brooklyn barked a couple of times, got too close and the moose did a couple of half hearted kicks then resumed eating.
Moose are funny critters, but extremely fast when they get moving. This one was not in the mood. I think she was mooning Brooklyn!
Brooklyn is about 100 pounds to give you some perspective of the size of the moose.
We just ambled down the driveway to get the photos. She knew I was there, but saw me as no threat.
Hopefully, I have not offended any engineers out in blogland. It's been a kind of running joke over the years.
What's in your front yard today?
