Conference time = Moose bling!

Woooo hoooo...just look at the pics from the Owner. While he is away in Dallas at The SirsiDynix Conference, he has remembered that it all is about the Moose [me] and is bringing back SirsiDynix swag. A SD monkey to join the herd and some cool [or perhaps hot is more appropriate?] strand of Chili Fresh beads [perfect for the upcoming Cinco de Mooso celebration.] I've been worried that he has somewhat neglected me of late but this proves that the old boy still knows what is important in life, keeping the Moose satisfied.

To bail or not to bail that is the question!

As you can see, one of the dark secrets that I, The Library Moose, as well as, my herdmates have to live with is the undeniable fact that my owner is a habitual "jailbird". This coming Thursday, March 26, the owner is going to jail for "The MDA Lock-up". You can help my owner post bail by making a contribution at his MDA website.

While it looks like he will squeak by, post bail and escape serious jail time, I hope you might consider helping him out. I am not sure whether or not California's "three strikes" law applies in his case. Besides the ongoing debate over whether the owner is "guilty" or "innocent", as the photos prove, he doesn't look good in stipes!

A past comment wondered if there were any other herd members, besides dog, who were not genuine actual Moose. Here is herd member "Toy Story Alien" who could be considered a Moose on his planet or origin. That is hard to say, not knowing what his planet of origin is, not to mention how the concept of Moose translates into his native tongue.

TSA, also has the distinction of being one of the first three original members of my herd. Only Moosecow and Moose Muffin have been hanging with me at the library for a longer time.

I'm Baaaaacccckkkkkkkk

I know that my many fans have been wondering, Library Moose, where have you been? Why haven't you been keeping us up-to-date on your amoosing adventures? Why so moosterious and quiet?

Well, the picture tells a 1,000 word story.

When it became apparent that Gov. Sarah Palin would wind up running for the office of Vice President, myself, my herd and my species became highly concerned. I mean, look at it from our point of view, you people were considering electing a woman who was known to kill, gut, clean and eat my kind! How would you feel if France was going to possibly elect a person who like to kill and eat Americans? With that facing all of moosekind, we made a decision that now was the time to lay low and take cover, we did not want to provoke any sort of response from Gov. Palin or the American voter.

Us Moose are not really known for being, shall we say "political animals". The only time we've dipped our hooves into such waters was way back in 1912 with Teddy Roosevelt's "Bull Moose" party. That didn't turn out too well did it so all of us Moose have been quiet throughout the political season, the transition to a new President and now after a couple of months, all of us Moose feel more secure about our futures and we now will begin to make our mooselves visible.

There are new herd members to introduce, and much more to catch up on!

Talk to you soon.

The Library Moose!

Kay, shown with her new friend, at her retirement party last Friday. Which one is Kay you ask, why that is easy, she is the one with the good hair!

Kay has been a friend of The Library Moose, [how I've been invited to BV staff parties in the past] and I know that the Burbank Library will miss her. I do think that she missed the boat in going off on a vacation trip to hang around with Orangutans, given her good taste I'd've figured her for someone who'd go hang out with the most wonderful animals in the world...Moose!

Maybe she'll get it right on her next retiremen.

Hi, I have just posted a whole slew of photos taken of my herd members. Check my Flickr page or take a look at the slide show of my photostream for some of the herd members in all of their glory.

This is dog who is the offical greeter of the Library Moose herd. He has special holiday hats and if you check some of my habitat photos you might see Dog wearing his hats or showing off his special holiday themed signs.

Party Moose.

His big day was Friday, and combine that with a 3 day weekend, well, we've been hitting the "moose juice" a big hard if you know what I mean! So anyways, me and the herd wish the owner a belated Happy Birthday!
