You're a goof. All animals are about their territory. Yeah, I might be wanderin' in his habitat, but I'm givin' him love and food every day. In time, he'll learn to trust me. I know it, I can sense it.

( at least the beast isn't growling so heavily anymore. the wolf is still grumbling but it's subdued and on the drowsy side. )

Thanks for the patch-up, Bub. — I owe ya one. How about I'll fix any of your stuff if they get banged up?
