Meet Moose

Here in Anchorage, I have been living with 2 of 3 brothers. At first, I was reluctant about the whole "sharing a living space" thing. My college roommates can verify that at the beginning of every year, at the start of every move-in, I am a grumpy roomy. Having grown up with three brothers and 0 sisters, I always got my own space. I deserved my own space. But when Sam and JP both dropped the news within the same week that they were leaving our small, shared apartment in Anchorage for Dallas and for Colorado, I was suddenly overcome with a gentle sense of loss. I love my brothers after all and living with them has been a pleasure that not many siblings get to enjoy after college.

I fought off capricious tears and laughter (at the irony of the tears) as I shuffled through the three closest pet stores…

Meet "Moose", my new roommate and happy light:
