Fuzzy Feet

We have had a visitor in our neighborhood for the past few days. There has been a baby moose wandering around and crying out for its momma. So sad! The momma moose had two babies. The best we can figure is this little one couldn't keep up. Its leg wasn't busted but it was really unsteady. I don't think it could keep up.

The good news is that people from AK Zoo came by and picked it up from the neighbor's yard. It will get a good meal, a safe place to sleep and a new home. The lady said they found a home for it at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio. The picked the baby up, put it on their lap in the  front of their truck and away they went. It was so crazy to me to see a moose riding in a vehicle!

Of course we would rather it be with its mom, but this is a good 2nd choice! Plus, do people in OH get to see a lot of moose?

The little neighbor girl cried when they took the baby away. It was almost like their pet. She told the lady its name was fuzzy feet. It wouldn't really leave their yard for long. Her mom explained to her how much better her life would be at the zoo.

 Wandering around, crying. It was so sad listening to it call for momma.

 Kinley and her first moose sighting. We will have to show her this picture when she gets older to prove it to her!
