Write for a living and partner search dogs for love. Work in progress. Definitely sus. Owned by an equally sketchy crew of dogs, cats, and chickens.
New project? Blinking cursor at the top of a blank page? Friends, I'm right there with you. Grab a cup of something hot, put on the music that inspires you most, and jump down the rabbit hole, into the story you've been waiting to tell. Let's jump together. 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... #writingcommunity
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
Who needs an internal editor when you have *this* cat passing judgement over your shoulder? #catsofbluesky #rescuecats
Good morning! Actual photo of my Chihuahua springing up, bright and shiny, to greet the sub-zero day. #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. #lawildfiresupport
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
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

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
I do not need a shark-shaped onesie, yet I unreasonably want one. 🦈
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. #fosterdogs #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky

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 #catsofbluesky
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-
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- #dogsofbluesky
Tonight we welcome another rescued mama and her four puppies, three days old. We will foster all of them through the end of January, when they will, ideally, find forever homes straightaway. These cuties have been rescued by Dallas Dog RRR. #rescuedogs #fosterdogs
