Speaker 2 (00:12):
Alejandro, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Zohe can you part the a TV and get those
chickens out of the round pen?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Here?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Chichi Jack, what are you doing? Come chase them out
of there. Bailey and doctor Forrest will be here any
minute with Wilder.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
This is how Bailey does it. Maybe I'm in the
wrong key here. Chick chack, chick chick chi dick.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Good on you, Zoe, you got it?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Wow, look at him go. I've never seen that chicken
wattle so fast.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Je digje dick jet dig.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
They look like the old raptors coming in for the queue.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Here's doctor Forest with the trailer pull in straight up
by the house.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Miranda got it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
How's he gonna get off with a bad leg?
Speaker 7 (01:33):
Doctor Forrest said, it's not so bad. He can bear
his own weight.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
And it's a good thing.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Bailey has away with horses how to use lessonations so
he could keep his balance.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I could barely walk after I got my wisdom teeth out,
and I wasn't even injured.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Bailey calmed him beautifully. She really is gifted with horses,
Thanks doctor Bailey. But I'm no horse. Whisperer. I just
remembered what Gpop taught me about being.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Calm and caught it gentle and strong.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Yeah, I think it's more than that. But let's get
this boy into that round pin.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Easy, Wilder, back this way, Whoa, whoa, There you go.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
This round pen is perfect.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
He'll be confined enough to rest the leg, and the
panels are tall so he won't try to jump out.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Thanks so much for letting me take care of him.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Doctor Forrest, Well, the clinic is full and you've proven
yourself in the past. Just keep some distance with this one, Okay.
I want to see him back on the range soon.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah. So I'll host his leg three times a day,
like you said, just for the next day or so,
and stay out of the pen unless you've given him
the sedation powder. I've written down the amounts depending on
how close you need to get, and I left you
some extra butte for the inflammation. You can probably give
his meds and soaked alfalfa with a little grain. Got
it in You go, Wilder, this is your new home.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
He does look kind of loopy.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
What can I do to help, Bailey? My mom said,
I can stay till dinner. Can you grab my backpack
from doctor Forrest's truck. I don't want to leave his side.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Sure, did I get him hay and water?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
No?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
I wouldn't do that. Let the sedation wear off a
little more first.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Got it.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
You can go water and feed the other horses though,
and the pigs.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You still work here, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But let me know if you need help with anything.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Bailey, Okay, I'll be fine.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I know you will. You might make a good equine
vet someday.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Hmm. Thanks.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I've got a run call if you need anything otherwise,
I'll be back to check on him in a few days.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
By Miranda. Always a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Here's your bad Bailey, and I brought the hose. Oh thanks, Zoe.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Well, if you two got it, I'm gonna drive out
and check the fences with the rocky here boy.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
He looks kind of sad. Who wilder. Yeah, his hanging
head low like that and his eyes he just looks sad. Nah,
that's just the sedation. He'll perk up in about an hour.
So have you ever taken care of a hurt horse before?
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Actually, we bought Sonny out of a kill pen. She
was in pretty bad shape. But my dad saw something
in her Wait a kill pen. Yeah, where horses end
up if no one wants them for whatever reason. That's awful,
poor Sonny. Even wild horses can end up there after
the roundup, that is, if there are no sanctuaries or
training barns willing to take them. Round up. Yeah, with
(04:43):
the Bureau of Land Management. If there are too many
horses and not enough resources to support them, all, they
do a round up. Oh, population control, I get that.
So are there many places they can go after they're caught?
Not many. That's why Connor and I wanted to do
so thing. We were so close too. But then the
day he fell off Sunny, everything came to a stop.
(05:07):
So your g pop said it was cancer. Yeah. Connor
hid his head when he fell, so they took him
to the hospital to check for a concussion, and then
they did tests and scans and found the tumor. They
knew almost immediately that there wasn't much they could do
for him. Wow, that's awful. I'm so sorry I wasn't
(05:31):
there for Connor like I should have been. I kind
of went numb that day. I don't even I barely
remember it. It feels like I didn't even really get
to say goodbye, not the way I should have anyway.
That must still be pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Then.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, I haven't told anyone that before. But I'm going
to be here for Wilder every step of the way.
Then I'll be here too. My mom wants me to
come home for dinner and to sleep, but I'll be
here every more, I promise. Thanks Zooe, I'd like that.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Sorry, we haven't checked in much over the past few days.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Shannon, It's all right, Dad. I got all your one
word text messages and the picture of my rosemary plant.
Thanks for taking care of it for me.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, Rocky and I tried at least that.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Rosemary bush is tough. If it can survive being run
over by a four wheeler fifteen times, it can survive
roundhogs and an over zealous dog. What about the rest
of the garden? How are the carrots and zucchini?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Your Rosemary's the most important, right true?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Never mind about the garden, So tell me about the horse.
Is it another hurt stallion?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Yep, Wilder's what she's calling them. Bailey's been tending to them.
She even slept out there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
With them all night.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I'm not surprised. Remember the grip proposals she and Connor
were working on last year.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
She was planning to save all the wild horses.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Then she sure was, well, can this one be saved?
What does doctor Forrest say? I don't want Bailey getting
her hopes up.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Looks like a leg injury from fighting. But doctor Force
thinks he'll heal up. Okay with rest and meds.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I had a shower and I wasn't sleeping with animals.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I can't smell that bad, not bad at all. You
know some people like to smell of horse manure.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Okay, Bailey, come take the phone, talk to your mom
a bit. Then it is probably best you get a shower, pee.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You okay, Okay, give it a rest. I get it already.
I'll go outside.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
She wish.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Hi Mom, Hi, sweetie, how are you. You've had a
busy couple of days.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I saved him, Mama, the wild stallion Wilder will be
safe here.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
That's really good. I'm glad he's going to be okay. Yeah,
so ge Pop said you gave him a scare when
he couldn't find you the other day. Were you really
just worried about Wilder?
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Mom, I told you how he was trying to fight
for the gray Stallion's herd.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I understand why you would be. Stallion's fighting overheard usually
ends badly for one of them.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Exactly. That's what I was trying to tell everyone.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
But how do you think Gee Pop and I feel
when you run off without telling us? Uh?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Worried to I guess I'm sorry for not telling you
what I was doing. I was afraid you'd say.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
No, maybe we would have true. But just like you
want to keep Wilder safe, we want to keep you safe.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I know, I get it. I'm sorry. Can we talk
about something else?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
How's your time with Dad?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
It's been nice? He misses you, you know. He says you
always have an excuse not to talk to him.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I don't know. We don't have much to talk about.
I'm not the rodeo kid that was Connor.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Dad doesn't care about that. He wants to connect with
what you love. I'm sure he'd be interested in what
you're doing with Wilder.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I don't know. He wants all the rescues to be
rodeo horses. Wilder isn't a rodeo horse right now.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
He's a wild horse right for now.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yes, I better go shower and eat I need to
get back to him.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Okay, I love you, Bailey. Please stay safe. I hear
there's a big storm coming later this week.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I will Mom.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Wait, I forgot to ask if you found my letter.
You're a letter I hate it under the banana bread.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Oh yeah, I got it. I'll read it today. Thanks, Mom,
gotta go. Don't worry Wilder. I'll take good care of you.
(10:11):
We just need to help your leg heel. You're getting
pretty good at aiming that hose through the bench so
long as he stays in one place. But I don't
want to keep sedating him. I think he's starting to
get more comfortable. How can you tell? He was laying
down when I came out this morning. Laying down to
sleep is a good sign. Well, he's relaxing. Well, he's
(10:32):
checked into the best Montana resort, complete with treats and
three times a day's SPA treatment. He's even letting me
get closer to him. So do you think you'll try
and keep him? I think so. He needs a home
and a family. He can't go back out there and
just keep chasing the gray Stallion's herd, so will be
his herd? Then? Yeah, that's right. Listen, to Zoe Wilder,
(10:56):
no fighting required to be a part.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Of our herd.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Well, maybe a little. Hey, I said I was sorry
about that. I'm joking. It's all good. I actually think
we're stronger because of our little fight, you know. And
it means a lot to hear someone say they're sorry.
It's pretty rare, actually serious. Do people not apologize in California?
Let's just say I haven't been on the receiving end
(11:22):
very much, So thank you. You're a good friend. Wow, thanks, Bailey.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Zoe. Quick, there's goats in the feed rooms.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Oh no, Alejandro, did you leave the feed room unlocked?
Maybe I told you to make sure you lock it
every time.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I can't believe this. They've destroyed half the bags. What
a mess. Get out of here, Stone, Shoo shoo. Oh
don't you eat that blitz.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Sorry, I must have forgotten to lock it after I've
fed the animals this morning.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I can't believe this, Alejandro. Oh, calm down, Bailey, it
was just an accident. He's part of our herd. No fighting, remember,
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I think I understand. I'm sorry, Bailey. I'm sure your
brother wouldn't have messed up like this.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Actually, you're wrong. This is exactly something my brother would do.
That's why we have to keep it locked. Now. He
left the door open so many times that the goats
got used to helping themselves. So yeah, this is definitely
a Conner thing.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Then it's actually okay. Really, just help me get him
out of here.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, just shoe goats.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Why are you grabbing his beard, Alejandro.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I'm trying to pull his head off the feedback.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's kind of like a leash.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I what, I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Go looked up at you, like what you do into
my beard? Well? Why do you keep going for the tail?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I don't know what I'm doing either. I'm just trying
to stay away from the horns. You two heared too much.
Just help me heard them out of here? Man, I
wish Rocky was finished with his training. Already, Get out
of here, Goat, go on, Stone, get out of here, Blitz,
come on.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
A stone, Just not make me he's quick.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
This isn't working. And now they're laughing at us. Oh wait,
I know a snake.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What where are you going, Bailey?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Did she say snake?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
She's not seriously going to get a snake?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Is she? I don't Maybe.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Maybe if we can get the goats out before she
gets back. Uh, stone Blitz, you better get out of here.
I really don't got it no way. Don't worry to
take too long to find a real one. This one's
a fake.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Good thinking, but just for the record, I would have
been fine with the real one.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
So good to know. If this doesn't work, you can
help me find a real one. Count me out of that, Monty.
In a moment, I think this will work. See, they
don't like snakes.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Are all goats afraid of snakes?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Uh No, but these goats are weird. Must have had
a bad experience or something. Somehow Connor figured it out.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Bailey, I'm really sorry about the feed and making you
upset about your brother.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Don't worry about it, really. I'll grab some buckets. Maybe
we can salvage some I'll grab a broom and guard
the door.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Bailey, you're still out there.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes, I'm here. I want to stay with him a
little longer.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Okay, all right, but you should probably sleep inside tonight.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's supposed to get chili. Tonight definitely feels like a
storm's coming.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Okay, I'm gonna write in my journal and then I'll
come in. Are you warm enough, Wilder? I'm so glad
you're safe and here with me. I was sure i'd
messed up and lost you forever. I need to update
my journal. So much has happened. Oh look my banana
(15:42):
bread and mom's note. You're right, banana bread first. Here
you go, hm hm, even better, warm and squished, Dear Connor,
I saved Wilder. I know it's not exactly what we planned,
but in a small way, I'm going to keep our
(16:02):
dream alive. Things are starting to change around here. With
Zoe and Alejandro always around, they're starting to grow on me.
Alejandro reminded me of you again today, but I wasn't
as mad this time. It felt kind of like you're
still here in some way, still making messes and coming
(16:23):
up with crazy ways to solve them. I feel this
when I'm with Wilder. He's kind of crazy but has
a soft side, just like you. I know things will
keep getting better if I have Wilder with me.
I'll out and opened the gate for me.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Alejandro, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Zohe can you part the a TV and get those
chickens out of the round pen?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (00:36):

Speaker 3 (00:36):

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Good on you, Zoe, you got it?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Wow, look at him go. I've never seen that chicken
wattle so fast.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Je digje dick jet dig.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
They look like the old raptors coming in for the queue.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Here's doctor Forest with the trailer pull in straight up

Speaker 1 (01:26):

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Then she sure was, well, can this one be saved?
What does doctor Forrest say? I don't want Bailey getting
her hopes up.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Looks like a leg injury from fighting. But doctor Force
thinks he'll heal up. Okay with rest and meds.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I had a shower and I wasn't sleeping with animals.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I can't smell that bad, not bad at all. You
know some people like to smell of horse manure.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Okay, Bailey, come take the phone, talk to your mom
a bit. Then it is probably best you get a shower, pee.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You okay, Okay, give it a rest. I get it already.
I'll go outside.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
She wish.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Hi Mom, Hi, sweetie, how are you. You've had a
busy couple of days.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I saved him, Mama, the wild stallion Wilder will be
safe here.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
That's really good. I'm glad he's going to be okay. Yeah,
so ge Pop said you gave him a scare when
he couldn't find you the other day. Were you really
just worried about Wilder?
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Mom, I told you how he was trying to fight
for the gray Stallion's herd.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I understand why you would be. Stallion's fighting overheard usually
ends badly for one of them.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Exactly. That's what I was trying to tell everyone.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
But how do you think Gee Pop and I feel
when you run off without telling us? Uh?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Worried to I guess I'm sorry for not telling you
what I was doing. I was afraid you'd say.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
No, maybe we would have true. But just like you
want to keep Wilder safe, we want to keep you safe.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I know, I get it. I'm sorry. Can we talk
about something else?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
How's your time with Dad?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
It's been nice? He misses you, you know. He says you
always have an excuse not to talk to him.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I don't know. We don't have much to talk about.
I'm not the rodeo kid that was Connor.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Dad doesn't care about that. He wants to connect with
what you love. I'm sure he'd be interested in what
you're doing with Wilder.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I don't know. He wants all the rescues to be
rodeo horses. Wilder isn't a rodeo horse right now.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
He's a wild horse right for now.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yes, I better go shower and eat I need to
get back to him.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Okay, I love you, Bailey. Please stay safe. I hear
there's a big storm coming later this week.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I will Mom.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Wait, I forgot to ask if you found my letter.
You're a letter I hate it under the banana bread.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Oh yeah, I got it. I'll read it today. Thanks, Mom,
gotta go. Don't worry Wilder. I'll take good care of you.
(10:11):
We just need to help your leg heel. You're getting
pretty good at aiming that hose through the bench so
long as he stays in one place. But I don't
want to keep sedating him. I think he's starting to
get more comfortable. How can you tell? He was laying
down when I came out this morning. Laying down to
sleep is a good sign. Well, he's relaxing. Well, he's
(10:32):
checked into the best Montana resort, complete with treats and
three times a day's SPA treatment. He's even letting me
get closer to him. So do you think you'll try
and keep him? I think so. He needs a home
and a family. He can't go back out there and
just keep chasing the gray Stallion's herd, so will be
his herd? Then? Yeah, that's right. Listen, to Zoe Wilder,
(10:56):
no fighting required to be a part.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Of our herd.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Well, maybe a little. Hey, I said I was sorry
about that. I'm joking. It's all good. I actually think
we're stronger because of our little fight, you know. And
it means a lot to hear someone say they're sorry.
It's pretty rare, actually serious. Do people not apologize in California?
Let's just say I haven't been on the receiving end
(11:22):
very much, So thank you. You're a good friend. Wow, thanks, Bailey.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Zoe. Quick, there's goats in the feed rooms.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Oh no, Alejandro, did you leave the feed room unlocked?
Maybe I told you to make sure you lock it
every time.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I can't believe this. They've destroyed half the bags. What
a mess. Get out of here, Stone, Shoo shoo. Oh
don't you eat that blitz.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Sorry, I must have forgotten to lock it after I've
fed the animals this morning.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I can't believe this, Alejandro. Oh, calm down, Bailey, it
was just an accident. He's part of our herd. No fighting, remember,
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I think I understand. I'm sorry, Bailey. I'm sure your
brother wouldn't have messed up like this.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Actually, you're wrong. This is exactly something my brother would do.
That's why we have to keep it locked. Now. He
left the door open so many times that the goats
got used to helping themselves. So yeah, this is definitely
a Conner thing.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Then it's actually okay. Really, just help me get him
out of here.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, just shoe goats.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Why are you grabbing his beard, Alejandro.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I'm trying to pull his head off the feedback.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's kind of like a leash.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I what, I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Go looked up at you, like what you do into
my beard? Well? Why do you keep going for the tail?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I don't know what I'm doing either. I'm just trying
to stay away from the horns. You two heared too much.
Just help me heard them out of here? Man, I
wish Rocky was finished with his training. Already, Get out
of here, Goat, go on, Stone, get out of here, Blitz,
come on.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
A stone, Just not make me he's quick.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
This isn't working. And now they're laughing at us. Oh wait,
I know a snake.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What where are you going, Bailey?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Did she say snake?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
She's not seriously going to get a snake?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Is she? I don't Maybe.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Maybe if we can get the goats out before she
gets back. Uh, stone Blitz, you better get out of here.
I really don't got it no way. Don't worry to
take too long to find a real one. This one's
a fake.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Good thinking, but just for the record, I would have
been fine with the real one.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
So good to know. If this doesn't work, you can
help me find a real one. Count me out of that, Monty.
In a moment, I think this will work. See, they
don't like snakes.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Are all goats afraid of snakes?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Uh No, but these goats are weird. Must have had
a bad experience or something. Somehow Connor figured it out.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Bailey, I'm really sorry about the feed and making you
upset about your brother.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Don't worry about it, really. I'll grab some buckets. Maybe
we can salvage some I'll grab a broom and guard
the door.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Bailey, you're still out there.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes, I'm here. I want to stay with him a
little longer.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Okay, all right, but you should probably sleep inside tonight.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's supposed to get chili. Tonight definitely feels like a
storm's coming.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Okay, I'm gonna write in my journal and then I'll
come in. Are you warm enough, Wilder? I'm so glad
you're safe and here with me. I was sure i'd
messed up and lost you forever. I need to update
my journal. So much has happened. Oh look my banana
(15:42):
bread and mom's note. You're right, banana bread first. Here
you go, hm hm, even better, warm and squished, Dear Connor,
I saved Wilder. I know it's not exactly what we planned,
but in a small way, I'm going to keep our
(16:02):
dream alive. Things are starting to change around here. With
Zoe and Alejandro always around, they're starting to grow on me.
Alejandro reminded me of you again today, but I wasn't
as mad this time. It felt kind of like you're
still here in some way, still making messes and coming
(16:23):
up with crazy ways to solve them. I feel this
when I'm with Wilder. He's kind of crazy but has
a soft side, just like you. I know things will
keep getting better if I have Wilder with me.
