Thinking about Ari… It’s almost 3 years. What a dog! He taught me so many lessons about life for sure:
- He taught me to never give up and it’s never too late to start. When you have a goal that you really want to achieve, just simply do what it takes to get it done.
- He taught me that sometimes you just need to do the same thing over and over and OVER again until you get it right.
- I learned from him that mistakes are made when reaching for a goal – that’s just the way it is – but the greatest learning comes from mistakes and that’s when the most progress is made.
- He also taught me that failing in public really isn’t all that bad. I often thought of Roosevelt’s speech about “the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena”.
- And he taught me that the most important thing is to have fun, goofy is good and to really enjoy the journey!
Some moments among the thousands I remember and smile…
And then there is the fun loving goofy guy who never seemed to mind what we did to him! 
What a dog!
