00:48  Our Boston Terrier I wonder how this episode is going to go because we're talking about Leonard, our Boston terrier.

KISMA

Sadly, Leonard has left us. He's crossed the rainbow bridge as they say. He was a really good dog. He was so amazing.

6:29 Everyone Loves a Boston Terrier

That brings me to lesson number one, everybody loves a Boston terrier.

Nick

Everyone loves a Boston terrier. They're just so freaking cute.

KISMA

Everywhere I walked with that dog, people would stop and they were like, “Oh my gosh, it's a Boston”. Or they were like, “Is he a Frenchie or is he a Boston?”. You know, and they were always just so taken with him.

8:00 Making Friends

So, the second lesson is that you can make friends easily. These are all things that I've learned really just by observing my dog.

Nick 

Yes, this is true because he's fun and he would sort of trot around and anybody that came up to him, loved him, and he would just be friends.

10:52 When You Know Someone, You Know

What's another lesson?

KISMA

Number three. This is a big one. When you know someone, you know.

When you know their habits, their patterns, like you know what this little being does and when you expect it to be different, you're just setting yourself up for a whole world of stress.

Nick

Just like people.

14:32 Manifest through Persistence and Charm

Lesson number four is a big one for me. This is something that I learned by watching this dog. His amazing, truly extraordinary ability to manifest through persistence and through charm.

Nick

So true. The guy had charm.

KISMA

Add charm and persistence and you have a winning combination.  If he wanted something, he would not quit.

17:14 Unconditional Love

The last lesson I want to talk about is more universal to dogs, is just how they teach us and show us and demonstrate that unconditional love.

Nick

Yeah, that's so true. We can mess up so many times and they still love us. We can turn our backs on them, yell at them, whatever, and they still love us. It really is a beautiful thing.

KISMA

I could understand what goes on in the dog's head that allows them to do that because it's a powerful thing.  It's so powerful. Leonard, He will be missed.Nick

He will definitely be missed.
