For Pete's Sake!

My dear Annie is from a town in Vermont called Irasburg. I have been to Irasburg- got lost coming back from Canada once with Jason and Ted and decided Annie's Ma & Pa should feed us pancakes which they, quite deliciously did! AND it gained fame* in college by being featured in our remake of Do Re Me.
This video is about Pete, who lives in Irasburg and just wants to be a moose.
Is that too much to ask?


Wanna know more about Pete? Go to...

Now, my Dad (and Annie's Dad, probably) would remind us all that a moose is a wild animal and not a pet but he isn't being treated as such! He lives in an 600 acre enclosed game area
so he is a free range moose and he has deer friends and people friends.
As usual- the government gets involved and it all goes tits up!
And even avid hunters like my Pops and Papa Mosher would say hunting an animal raised by and thus not afraid of humans is like hunting chicken breast! In Ray's Market. Lame.

*fame is a fickle bitch. and in this case it only exists in our heads. but we liked our song and Irasburg is cooler for it!

Dough some bread, some uncooked bread...

Your delightful Mama shared! I love Pete. I want him to live on the patio and sell donuts off his rack! I'll even sell some off of mine ;)
