We normally go to work with Komma in the evening, but being the Fourth of July, we had plans that evening, so we went instead in the late morning. Upon our arrival, we were discussing, as we walked toward the barn, whether or not Komma yet recognized the sound of our vehicle. Then, almost as in answer to our wonderings, a soft, questioning neigh from the barn. Out he walked into the sunshine toward us, nose outstretched and searching for the scent of the carrots that were hidden in our pockets. Yeah, he recognized us all right. And I just don’t have words for how that makes me feel.
