If you're scared
buy a dog!
I have TWO dogs. One of which is bigger than YOU, and the other can shatter your ear drums with her shrill barks. I also have goats, mostly Pygmy, but one Nubian that's about as tall as I am. Then there's the Llama that IS taller than me, the Emu's, the birds, the furry white devil, the killer demon cat that leaves animal parts under the front porch, the swarms of cockatiels, couple of crazy Doves....
Then there was that mule that bit my li'l bro's thumb off.
Don't worry. The doctors reattached it.
