Alaska Writing Guild wooing tactics!

Remember my New Year's resolution about heading back up the Alaska Writing Guild conference in September? I mentioned there was some sucking up to the conference organizer going on.






Now they've brought out the big guns: cuteness.




Yes, that is a baby moose.**
A pettable baby moose.

And it turns out that Baby Moose knows where to find the good stuff!






** for those of you wondering why Baby Moose is without Mama Moose:

"The baby moose was in distress in a creek.
A man got him out of the creek,
tried to find the mother and send him on his way,
but the moose stumbled back into the creek
and had to be rescued again.
Baby Moose followed the man home.


The man has only a small cabin
so he took the moose to another neighbor,
who took these photos.
The next day Baby Moose went to a place
for rescued wild life, where he is penning his memoirs,
and registering for the Alaska Writers Guild workshop"

Oh for the love of Bullwinkle, how can you possibly resist??

Indeed, cuteness.
Cold be damned, the baby moose needs petting.

Thanks for sharing,

What a treat and great honor to have a baby Moose in your kitchen - of all things!

A pettable baby moose? Oh, tell me you are going? That is the perk of a lifetime.

Jenna Wallace said...

You are seriously undermining your reputation as a badass by posting these photos.

As I am not a badass, I can say "Awwww...."

That is the absolute CUTEST! My husband is in Alaska now, Dutch Harbor. I'm going to ask him to look up the moose.

If the plural of goose is geese, why isn't the plural of moose, meese?

Stephanie Thornton said...

Yeah, we Alaskans know how to play hard ball.

But seriously, that baby moose all cuddled up? Adorable.

I'm live in Australia and I've never seen a moose let alone a baby moose!
I read somewhere that all baby anythings are born cute to bring out nurturing instincs, more chance of the species survival.
This sweet baby definitely brings out my nurturing side.

The baby looks a lot like what the new groomer at the Clip n Dip did to my poor poodle last month. All he needs are blue ribbons in each ear.

Ha! I just had to stop for a mama moose and baby moose crossing the street in front of my car. Hope you do come to the 907 this fall, Janet. Bring a jacket.

Donna Coe-Velleman said...

Yeah, you're definitely going soft, but how could you not. That is one cute baby moose.
