This is Wilma. She is nine years old. I had to tell her not to wander far away from home. She answered, “I feel this feeling of joy when I take long walks. I know that my mom is like, ‘hey Wilma stay here’, but I feel this wonderful feeling of exploration. I know how to get home.”

I had to tell her that the neighbors threatened to shoot the dogs if they saw them at their farm. Wilma replied, “I feel that to make this better we need to explore with mom. I am sorry. I love to travel.”

Even though they live on a large piece of land, she is bargaining with her person to walk her.
