Chelsea and Bullwinkle

Ode to the joys of winter. Besides the 8 foot snow drifts, we have been graced with the presence of this large ugly hungry bugger who's been stalking around our driveway all week.

Because faithful Chelsea was barking at it while I tried to take a picture, it proceeded to charge right at us.


I blurted a loud "oh cr*p" and ran for the house where I hid inside the garage like a scared little chicken. Luckily moosey lost interest and went back to chomping our trees.

Awesome moose photos. They seem mostly clumsy and harmless, but I'm sure if one ran at me I'd panic! Huntsville is so awesome.

Vauses have one, too. They are just pests! I know some guys (New York accent implied). They can take care of your...problem. You let me know.

Wow! Awesome pictures. It reminds me of the roaches that we have down here. :0) I hope the snow melts soon (but not before we visit in March. My kids would love to see snow.)
