On a recent cold night, I decided to wash some dishes. My wife and I live in a little dry cabin up near Hatcher Pass, which is to say we don’t have running water. So I put a big pot on the propane stove to heat, rousted the dogs and took the 5-gallon bucket of dirty dishwater from under the sink to go dump it in the outhouse.

I had a similar experience once, we had a off-grid cabin in the woods close to a garden with a 6 foot high fence to keep deer out.
I opened the door, heard some crunching, and I could see an adult moose through the brush and trees. I went back inside to get the camera, came back and the fence was crushed down to the 4 foot level with the moose no where in sight.
More like a jealous lover
I e been caught between momma and baby before. Unarmed. It ain’t no joke. I ran as fast as I could thru the thickest stuff I could find for about 3-4 minutes until i felt safe.
Gotta ask moose what the guy said though.
May have been a reason for it.
“I was trapped in grandfather’s barnyard by his angry “domesticated” goose.”
My parents had big geese on their pond that were really aggressive and would sneak up and bite bite me while fishing in the pond.
When I got married I had my mother slaughter two of them for the wedding banquet. That was the only way I could ever bite them back
>>A happy moment for me.<<
Old enough to make coc a vin I hope.
We had a rooster that would chase me when I ran to the outhouse. I hated that thing. But he tasted good with those dumpling momma made.
Lol, priceless humor.
We may be only country n the world that calls a male chicken by what it does: roosts, than by what it is, a cock.
I don’t know about Canadians.
The reason is simple. Everyone agrees to behave in church—”The cock crowed three times—but use the word anywhere else and someone starts sniggering.
Is that racist too? And don’t the English crack up at the word “moose”?
But there’s nothing funny about moose bites.
Honey, is that you?
As long as it doesn’t bite my sister it’s OK
Every time a moose traps me in the outhouse I just read magazines that I put there for the purpose of passing the time until they leave.
I’m sure they have heard of chamber pots. I would not be going outside on an Alaskan winter’s night.
Honestly.....you Humans. Always thinking you’re under attack. Sheesh...
The Moose was rushing to USE the Out-house.
After all, any port in a storm.
So when the Human Rudely barged in front ,rather than make an angry scene , it patiently formed an orderly Queue.
Of course it appeared to be stroppy, it was breaking its neck waiting out there.
Oh, and please switch the Fan on after you go....you have no idea....!
Oh...and another thing! Will you please stop cutting the Newspaper up in to little squares. It makes it an absolute swine to read. Sound bites are one thing , but that is just ludicrous!
Too funny! The poor guy didn’t know what hit him, but at
least he had several people coming to his aid.
Decades ago my late wife was frightened by a guard goose on a friend’s farm. It came over a car in attack mode.
It appeared, though, the first two approached rather nonchalantly; as if they had seen it all before ;)
