I took Bean to see the Pink Houses in downtown St Pete today before they’re demolished. What an awesome collaborative effort of so many talented local artists!

In the span of a month, I lost Charlie, Abraham, Harvey, and all my chickens. For a time, life lost all its color. The holidays felt like just another day. All my food tasted like cardboard no matter how many spices I added. No amount of sleep ever seemed like enough. And for a brief second I felt myself slip back into to that all too familiar place of “everything is pointless, there’s too much pain, I hate it here.”

Now I’m in a place where I only believe part of that statement to be true. Everything probably is pointless in this backwards ass world, but I’m still going to look for fleeting moments of beauty anywhere I can find them. There is too much pain… in this world, in my body, and in my head. I can’t change that, and it sucks, but one day this WILL be over and I don’t need to rush that. And maybe I don’t hate everything about being “here.” There are still plants, and cats, and puppies, and art of all kinds “here,” and that is a gift to be enjoyed. I hope there’s beauty wherever you are. The world at large is a cesspool, so I hope your personal sphere of life is safe from all the garbage. I likely don’t know you, the person reading this, and I definitely don’t know for sure if God is real. I’m just an idiot human on a floating rock. But I do pray for all of us every night, and I hope wherever you are, that you’re doing ok. 💜

Today I’m going to miss my dogs and make art. And that’s enough for now.

Sorry/not sorry for all the kitten spam recently, but I mean look at them. Just LOOK AT THEM. 🥹 💜

I’ve been thinking a lot about Abraham, Charlie, and Harvey, and how it’s amazing that so much grief and gratitude can hold the same space simultaneously. My heart misses them every minute of every day, but I’m also so incredibly grateful for the life we had together. We had so many adventures and saw some of the most beautiful places in the country together. I thank God every day that I got to be their human. I hope everyone is blessed to experience this kind of love at some point in life. Loving those pups was more than worth the heartbreak.

Abraham joined Charlie at the rainbow bridge today. He was so very, very loved. The only thing making today bearable is knowing Abe’s brothers were there to welcome him.

My perfect boy is gone. He passed away suddenly last night in my lap and my world lost all its color. Please pray for us. Charlie was my best friend and I don’t have words for how broken my heart is.

Abraham is also nearing the end of his journey and will unfortunately be joining Charlie soon. First Harvey, then Charlie, and soon Abe. I’m tired, and I miss my little buddies so much.

My friend and I visited today and we got to pet allllll the kitties. We also got to take adorable pup “Mazi” out on the town for a little shelter break. Mazi is 3 years old and available for adoption at Friends of Strays this weekend!

If you’re local to St Pete, you can participate in their “Dog’s Day Out” program where you get to take an adoptable dog out on the town for a day. It’s a fantastic program that gets pups out of the shelter and into the community. Contact to find out more about the program and other volunteer opportunities!

At 19 years old, my sweet Harvey has transitioned to the next life. He crossed the rainbow bridge today, cuddled in my lap. He was a dapper gentleman to the end and I will miss him until the day we are reunited. I know he’s waking up at the rainbow bridge with eyes that can finally see, joints that no longer ache, and a body that cancer can no longer touch. I love you Harv. Until we meet again my friend. 💜

I’m looking to make friends with a few local businesses that would like to help animals in need! 😁 I’d love to find a few more places around Tampa Bay that would be willing to act as “drop off” locations for my donated mobility carts.

Local Pinellas county businesses, , , and have been incredibly generous in acting as drop off locations in the past and I couldn’t be more grateful for their help. I’m now looking for businesses in Hillsborough, Manatee, and North Pinellas that wouldn’t mind doing the same.

Since our recent feature on .news I’ve had an increased request for carts, and having drop off locations across Tampa Bay would make it much easier and more economical to get these carts to pets in need.

How does a drop-off location work? It’s simple: When I receive a request for a cart, I drop it off at a local business in the county where the recipient lives. The recipient then visits the business to pick up the cart within 24 hours. It gets very expensive to ship some of these carts, so having drop off locations across Tampa Bay would be an immense help.

Feel free to tag some of your favorite local businesses below and I’ll reach out to them. Thanks friends!
