If You Give an Älg an Apple


Meet Älg
Älg is Swedish for Moose. I'm a creative genius.
I have thoroughly missed living with animals since I moved to Sweden.  Red is having a wonderful time with Jennifer (sister), Holt (her fiance), Ally (beagle), and Molly (cat).  Yet I have moved to the frigid north without my furry, 70 lb space heater.  So, I adopted Älg.

This has been a lesson in expectation vs. reality.

Expectation



Reality


 Never the less, Älg has been a wonderful pet.  With any luck he and Red will get along beautifully when I return to America.

"Beautifully" is a relative term.

**It was only after much deliberation that I chose to feed the "Älg an Apple."
I began with "Cookie," but then remembered I already fed that to the mouse.
The Moose, on the other hand, received a Muffin.  But, in the spirit of alliteration,
I settled on an Apple for Älg.**

  1. Animals and book titles also considered, but rejected:
    If you give a koala a catfish
    If you give a jaguar a jack in the box
    If you give a lion a lilly
    If you give a camel a carrot
    If you give a lemur a limerick
    If you give a Mr. Joe a margarita
    If you give a Red a Red Bull
    If you give a Sam a section to comment in

    1. If you give a Sam a section to comment in, she's going to ask for attention.
