This guy is not understanding what my problem is. And says I should stop complaining because he walks with no shoes at all and says it’s great.

When your mom picks you up from school and all the cool kids are watching.
Me hugging the neck of my black dog. I look way too enthusiastic and he looks like he has never seen me before but he is tolerating the situation. I’m looking at the camera so dang happy with a big smile he is looking to the side, embarrassed. My dog is way cooler than I am.

Wilder would like to see you in his office.
My big black dog looking like he’s waiting for a martini. He is sitting on a couch with one arm up on a pillow. Very debonair.

Fluffy-butticus the rain dog, more commonly known as Mr Wilder, got me to take him for a walk this morning. We made it half a mile before it started raining on us and then we high-tailed it back home! He was happy tho!

My goodness. Just the saddest boy waiting for the rain to stop. How dare we keep him inside and warm and dry with flood and possible tornado warnings? Look at that face!

The weather people are like, highest possible statistical chance for tornados in Los Angeles tonight and tomorrow that we have EVER seen but you know, you’ll prolly be fine. Hahahahahah no one has a cellar here except that rich producer guy you met that one time anyway so good luck! Stay inside. 🤷‍♀️
Some weather text saying that models are predicting the possibility of small tornadoes in Los Angeles county tonight and tomorrow but that 99% of you are probably fine.
