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

CBS (and TNT) still hold the option to it, so I think it has not been released for sale because they may revisit it in the future. That said, I know there must be dubs of it out there because I get messages from folks who've seen it recently, probably dug up somewhere on the web. :)

Hi! And thanks so much for the note. 'Scent of the Missing' was produced by CBS Studios and TNT as a pilot for a series. Though the pilot was made (and, I think, aired at some point as a longer-version TV movie), it never went to series. I don't think it's available for purchase anywhere.

Oh, hello Jake, you beautiful boy! I am so glad you enjoyed 'The Possibility Dogs,' and I know angel Jake Piper, who left us in Sept 2023, would have loved to meet you. 17 is a magnificent age! You wear it well, buddy! (Hi to you, too, Bill!)

In a way, bsky puts all of us in the memoirist's challenge--how much of ourselves to we really want to throw out to strangers? It's less a closed circle of friends and more like an open mic at a party where you only know a few people. But I like the considered posts of those I follow! (Like you.)

I'm still on Facebook (contractually, I have to be for a period of time), but I post much less there, and TBH here, as well, though my intention is to be more here than anywhere. The energy is just too fraught to want to be online as much, and I've traded the headspace for other things. -more-

I think it might be the other way around.

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. #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

I *just* rewatched this 'Sense and Sensibility' (and a very good TV version) last week. Love it and especially love Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon.

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 remember that conference! And I know a number of people who got sick afterward. Heavens, that was just right before quarantine. I think you could well be right.

I am deploying there next week--exact destination and job description TBA. It is a terrible situation on every level.

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

Yes! On my desktop, I can see the smaller birds more clearly, eye bands and all. (On my phone, they looked to have muddy, yellowish breasts like the winter goldfinches, which we're seeing a lot of here north of Dallas at the moment). Lovely shot.

He does! Part of his bark alert is a funny throw-the-head back bark that ends in a howl. Here, he was doing it just for joy. 😀
