Los Angeles, California—a woke war zone 🤣😭🌴☀️
Feels like Gotham City at times!
Yes, “DTLA” to locals. It’s legit the name of a the neighborhood. I learned this when I moved here in 2019. 😏
Downtown Los Angeles is fascinating to me.

He's got the Gracie white chest patch 🐕❤️🌟 Frankie's the nanny activated. 👋Rex ❤️
He looks so much older than Gracie did, especially in the face. That’s part of why losing her so suddenly is so hard. We figured she had many years left, because she hadn’t really aged since Francis arrived 5 years ago. ✨
@johnathanperk.bsky.social grief takes a toll on a whole being. Thinking about not long ago you grieving for your gone too soon cousin and now this. It’s too much. Sending virtual hugs and prayers to you and the rest of your paws fam, especially Francis. I’m crying with you. It’s too much.
Yay! My American cousins!
I keep looking for Gracie 😔

Francis and I had a great time at the park this morning—first time without Gracie. Ran into our friend Samson, who’s also an 11-year-old Ridgeback like our beloved Gracie ✨

I'm sorry for your loss. There are cases of human twins getting the same cancer at the same time, which seems to point to the role of genetic predisposition in some types of cancer.

Such a beautiful legacy for Gracie- to provide the love to another- what a lucky pup to join your fam

Welcome to the pack, Rex! 🥰
Francis and I had a long talk—but ultimately, the decision was easy. Meet Rex! ✨

I had no idea how vast Gracie’s community was. I’m receiving messages from people I haven’t interacted with in years, telling us how much they looked forward to their next Gracie pic or post. I miss her.
The Hounds are now the Hound. ✨
Hello, I just lost access to my original account below so I had to recreate one. I understand if you don’t believe me.
This is the best way I could think to describe it
It’s a new day.
Francis and I are spooning in my bed. She usually hates being in my bed but has settled to help us both get through the night without our best friend Gracie. The cats are here too. 😔

I hate cancer so much.
You guys. I’ve been on an email chain for 11 years, with all the other people who own Gracie’s TWELVE brothers and sisters. Got an email this morning. Gracie’s littermate sister Nala died last night too. Same cancer diagnosis as Gracie—within the same hour. They’re together now.✨

Lying on their chews, which she’s gathered together 😔
Black woman clinician here and that's primarily who my practice focuses on (Black & Brown folks). I do this for their protection because I know what's out there.
This was when they told me Gracie had cancer but hadn’t explained the full prognosis.

Francis has collected all their chews and is snuggling with them. She misses her big sister. 😔
