Good news, you call and congratulate the person.
Bad news, they send you a letter

- I m not, no.
This is my life s work.
You read it.

- So you think it s bad news too?
- Fine.
I ll get this over with

- Well?
- So, uh,
they didn t approve the grant increase.
- But without more money,
we won t be able to function properly.
- They noticed that too,
which is why they decided to deny us a grant completely.
- What?
- Yeah, apparently they feel
that if the money they can provide
isn t enough for our uses, it d be more helpful elsewhere.
- Ugh. - I m sorry.
See, that--that s why I didn t want to be the one to read it.
So what now?

We ll figure it out.
This clinic hasn t closed yet,

Hey, bud.
Just as I thought.
That cough sounds familiar.
Have you taken him anywhere recently
where there were other dogs?
- He was at the groomer s a couple of days ago.
- Okay, sounds like he caught kennel cough.
It s highly contagious, but it s very common.
It s not a serious problem at all.
Has he been eating well and acting like himself?
- Yeah.

just in case, all right?

to see someone care so much for their pet.

Ranger is his calming influence

They can t communicate.

The way Jason was discussing what happens in bad marriages,
it made it clear to me that I love what we have.
I love you and our future family more than anything else,
so I got up, and I walked out.

- What if you lose your job?
- Just as long as I don t lose you.

You wanted to see me?
Mitch?

- Crazy...
after having a breakdown and storming out?
- I was gonna say on leave.
- Mitch came back here to talk,
and after he apologized, we had a civilized discussion.
Let me start this discussion with an apology to you.
Mitch and I talked about how, recently,
the workflow hasn t been well-managed.
It made me realize that taking on lots of accounts
doesn t help when you lose most of them.
Not to say that certain people
aren t to blame for certain things--
- Jason.
- Mitch is right.
It s neither here nor there.
But the point is,
we figure out a way how to manage all our clients.
- How would you like to make partner?
- Partner?
I wouldn t be replacing Mitch, would I?
- No, Mitch is gonna stay on in a diminished capacity.
He s having a baby.
After all, we can t expect him to be here 24-7.
- Well, I don t know what to say except yes, of course.
- All right, great.
Well, Lucy came back for the dog.
Everything is worked out.

Come on, let s watch my favorite video one more time.
- Again? - [laughs]
- Okay.
I was stuck in a rut professionally, personally,
just stuck.
That s where Daisy came in.
Like many people, my pet helped me realize
a different kind of joy I didn t know existed before.
Sounds corny, and it probably is,
but this dog helped me realize that the world
won t let you plan your happiness.
You have to find it in whatever comes your way.
I wouldn t have learned that without Daisy
or without a little help.
