CAST IRON PAN: we demand to be cleaned by hand, you will dry me properly or we will rust all over you, and don’t even think about using that metal spatula because…
ME: of course, of course, nothing’s too good for my special little pan
MY BODY: can we have some water?
ME: shutup, coffee is water

Welcome to Titan and Rocky, our new fosters, two pups of a litter of four shut up in a closet and left to die, abandoned. One brother is with another foster; a sister remains in ICU. They are frail but gaining ground, eating 8 small meals a day. Little loves. #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky

Farewell to Los Angeles, until we meet again. My heart is with you. Thank you to Best Friends Animal Society, working hard to meet so much need, animal and human. It's been an honor.

Comedy Central and The Daily Show donated boxes and boxes of collapsible food and water bowls and poop bags to Best Friends, and while it might seem laughable (and totally on brand), for displaced familes with pets in hotels or temporary shelters, these are essential. #lawildfiresupport

It has been a day in LA. After a 10-hour stint, crawled into a charming Indian restaurant where they know how to make a proper chai and could have wept at the perfect taste of it. Grateful for the kindness. #lafires

One Beverly Hills hotel concierge said on the first night of the fires, the lobby was “like Doctor Doolittle.”
“It’s quite nice when you see the elevator opening up and you have sweet dogs coming out.”

Dogs Took Over L.A.’s Poshest Hotels—and Made Things Better
As thousands of people sought shelter, hotels had to figure out how to accommodate their dogs, cats, rabbits and at least one snake; ‘like Doctor Doolittle’

Heading to a deployment in LA to support rescue and recovery from the fires there, I have help packing from little Pepita, our newest rescue, who knows exactly what the suitcase and the go bag mean. #rescuedogs #rescuingsavelives #dogsofbluesky

Not every word is a pearl. Not every writing day is golden. Some days, it's enough to have just stuck it out in the chair and put down some ideas that can be polished later. (Think of it like moving: at least you got the furniture IN the house!) Celebrate your endurance, #writers. Carry on.

As I further prepare to move to the East Coast (searching for the right house), I am aware of new challenges ahead of me. Like getting THIS Shetland Sheepdog to come in from the rare Texas snow. Here is a tidy photo of her, the very opposite of her shocking, thaw-muddy self right now. #dogsofbluesky

Five weeks ago, these puppies were born under an old car, where mama had been abandoned at a dump. Today, they are happy, healthy, and redecorating their xpen 🙃. Good things happen for #rescuedogs. Love, a little time, and a safe space can do so much. ##dogsofbluesky #fosteringsaveslives

Search dog Gambit loves his off-duty sniffari in today’s snow! A Texas dog, he doesn’t get that experience often.

This face looks innocent enough, but in little Opal's expression, I see a female who means business. :)
