brother.”
    “I’m sure you and Cameron can fill the gap,” and he threw a napkin at Dakota.
    “Speaking of rodeo scoundrels,” Dakota turned to look at Jenny, “what was Jared Stevens doing at the rabbit exhibit? And why was he watching you so closely?”
    Cody jerked his head up, “Jenny, you know what I told you about him. You promised.”
    “Pleeaassee.  I’m a grown woman, and we didn’t do anything.  He asked me what I was going to be doing today, and I went off about how important raising rabbits was and they never get any recognition for how hard it is to raise them, and how I had the best ones in the whole world. He had argued that rabbits were only good for shooting and eating. I didn’t know he was going to be coming.  I swear Cody.  He seems like a nice guy.”
    “Remember the smoke, Jenny,” Tammy added her own two cents.
    “I haven’t seen any fire yet, so I’m not ready to judge him, okay.  Just leave it be everyone and let’s eat mom’s famous chicken enchilada casserole.”
    Cody could tell Tammy felt bad for voicing her opinion.  He liked that even though Tammy wasn’t part of this family she seemed very protective of Jenny. 
    After dinner, while Tammy and his mom and dad were cleaning the dishes, Dakota and Cody went out to sit on the porch. 
    “She seems pretty special, Cody.  Are you falling a little for this cute red head?” he asked.  “Seems like she isn’t the buckle bunny type.” 
    “With everything going on here, I’m not sure it’s wise to start a relationship right now, but I can’t seem to keep my hands off her.  I’m scared for her, too.  I wish Marcus would show up tonight and you and I could take him down to the barn, and beat the shit out of him.”
    “Know what you mean, brother.  Sounds like he treated her like garbage, and she’s lucky to be alive.”
    They sat in silence for a while.  “Cody, I’m going to miss you on the circuit.  You know I could stay at home and help you run the ranch. It wouldn’t be much of a loss for me to hang it up. I’m never going to be a world champion or anything.”
    “No, you got to keep trying and it’s time for me to quit.  I always wanted to retire on top.  You, Cameron and Matt all deserve to experience the freedom and excitement I had while you guys took turns working at home to support me. Matt will be going to the University of Wyoming soon and I can’t wait to watch him compete for the UW Rodeo Club.”
    They both grinned that their little brother was about to join the family in following in their footsteps, as they had followed in their dad’s footsteps at the University of Wyoming on the rodeo team.  It was a right-of-passage for the next son to follow in the family tradition.  Hell, even their mom had been a world ranked barrel racer. Only Jenny had preferred sewing and cooking and didn’t do the rodeo scene.
    After a few quiet moments Cody said, “We’re going to get through this.  I’m hoping this new doctor will give us a better diagnosis.”  You could feel the heavy sadness between the two brothers.
    Changing the subject before they started crying like babies, Dakota asked, “What did your sponsors say?”
    “They want me to compete one more time at Cheyenne Frontier Days, in two weeks so they can give me a proper going out.  I didn’t want to but they’ve been good sponsors.  I’ll talk to mom and dad and see how it will fit in with the treatments.”
    “Mom and dad will want you to go.  Hopefully the whole family will be there and maybe you could bring Tammy.  Glad we didn’t cancel the four rooms we reserved. You deserve this, man.  I’m glad the date for Gillette Campbell Fair and Rodeo was moved back two weeks this year.”
    They stood and hugged each other.  “I’ll go say bye to mom and dad.  You better call me every day and let me know what’s going on.  I still think we should all go to Casper for their doctor visit.”
    “You know mom and dad said
