Face your fears.

Today a giant, stinky, loud, yellow "Snort" came to visit. While all the humans were excited to see it start working at clearing the future lawn, the animals were a little less so. Horses, dogs, and cow alike all stared in horror and fear. Cats watched from windows. Horses, especially, didn't appreciate the presence of this large and canary colored visitor, and their reactions ranged from snorting in fear and rolling of eyes to galloping in circles and bucking worriedly.

However, this startling and frightening experience did have a few positive effects. Ten minutes passed, and Commeuter, who usually is the slowest of the bunch to relax, ceased to think of the Snort as a cause for alarm. He bravely stood quite near it, and boldly showed the Snort just how scary it was with yawning, stretching and falling asleep.

I'm so proud.
