Sometimes it's very difficult to get to solid ground so the snow can be removed. This cover was starting to lean because of all the weight of the snow, so we removed some of it.
This moose came to help us...not. Poor thing, they have had it hard this winter also. It's so difficult for them to go through the deep snow that they are on the roads & highways, and trails. There have been several killed by vehicles and lots starving to death. Although this year, the game and fish department started setting designated sites to feed the moose, to help them out. I was glad to hear that.
Tonight when Angel and I were getting ready to go for our walk, there was a big moose that came into our neighbors yard, so we did not go walking tonight. :-( They like the roads and trails also. And...the snow is sooo deep around most houses that it's very difficult to see if they are near by, until it's to late. Last weekend walking with Angel, we went our usual route to the school and when we climbed the snow bank to start on one of the trails, there was a big mama moose about 30 feet in front of us. I quickly put Angel back on the leash and we hightailed it out of there as fast as we could. :-))) There was NOTHING to protect us from her. Yikes!! I think she must have been laying down and we spooked her when we came upon her. I saw her tracks, so I was watching for her, but did not see her until we were right there. Fortunately, she was more interested in something else, possibly her calf, so she went the other way. WHEW! We made it home safely, with my heart beating 90 miles an hour. LOL
Some of the adventures of living in Alaska. :-)
Poor thing, resting in our driveway. They get pretty agitated easily, because they are hungry and it's hard for them to find food in the deep snow.
