Next week Romney announces new business:

and the others.
I pray for her health and safety.

Cheer up Rafalca! It's not all your fault, we know this. You have an owner who trains you. And if they train you incorrectly then it's not your fault. So cheer up Rafalca and go get them the next time!

The owner said that Gracie loves this tree for some reason and he cut a bigger hold in the tree so she won't get caught again. This picture has always stressed me out a bit. Happy ending.
