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

Who needs an internal editor when you have *this* cat passing judgement over your shoulder?

Good morning!
Actual photo of my Chihuahua springing up, bright and shiny, to greet the sub-zero day.

Hi Kelly! Scroll interrupted. I have a Bean, too. :) Scritches to your sweet one!

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

Not sure which one to do first.

Perhaps this playful, adorable kitten, rescued before the fires and newly adopted, is a little whiskered good news for a Monday. #catsofbluesky #rescuesaveslives #lawildfires

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

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. :)

4 1/2 weeks old.

Have an indoor-only cat? How does (s)he behave when strangers visit? If the kitty is shy, note the kinds of places chosen for hiding places in the house. This is a clue to future behavior if the cat should someday get out of the house. /more

This smart, sweet boy, at four weeks old, has all that and then some. He has intelligence and drive! Let the cameras roll. 😃 #rescuedogs #fosterdogs #dogsofbluesky

This is how I found Little Mister Means, Motive, and Opportunity this morning. Xpen gate reconfiguration ...commence! -more-

With every litter, there's always one--the resourceful puppy, the forward puppy, the puppy who colors outside the lines. In this litter, Onyx is that puppy. AKA Peterbilt, Donkey Kong, Hank the Tank. No xpen made of man gonna contain HIM, he thinks. #rescuedogs -more-

Ever wondered what your dog might do if (s)he got out a gate, or fled a dogsitter, or survived a car accident and ran in panic? My 3rd book can help prevent and prepare before that might ever occur. A memoir of lost pet recovery, with happy endings, but full of practical tips, too. #dogsofbluesky

Meet this morning’s gregarious, opportunistic wanderer, now safely home. He is a textbook example of a friendly dog making poor choices while wandering loose. Fortunately, his owners had done a number of things right to keep him safe. -more-
