[Tutor] Already Initialized Object Inheritance?

[WolfRage]

Christopher,

Thank you for the explanation of the error. I see now why I am unable to
reference it outside of __init__'s scope. No, I did not mean to do that.
I will include further details in my reply to Steven. Please feel free
to jump in on that conversation to continue my learning. Thank you for
your help and time thus far.
