The cow and calf moose that had bedded down outside my window a few weeks ago were back yesterday, eating hay out of the back corner of my Hay barn. I have some alfalfa in the little horse barn and have been careful to keep both parts of the dutch door closed, and lucky I did. The moose calf was sniffing around the door yesterday, he could smell the alfalfa. I was afraid they might jump into the barn over the bottom half of the dutch door, and not be able to jump out, which would pose a bit of a problem..:-) The horses don't pay any attention to the moose anymore, which will be an asset when we meet moose on the trail. However I have to be cautious about the dog when putting her out on her cable runner. Yesterday morning the moose scared her enough that she hit the end of the rope and broke her collar, then took off in the dark down the drive toward the road. With all the morning traffic on the road I was afraid she might get hit, but she did come running back safely. Since then she is very spooky about the woods in back of the house...on the lookout for those moose!
