Every connection that you make in life- even with a dog- teaches you something. So here is the wisdom that Rose has impaired on me: That speed and superiority can come without swagger. That life is good if there’s as much joy in work as in play. That true passion can ignite your life forever. And that you should never pass up the opportunity to sneak in a nap.
