It’s happened. Time for this dreaded post about losing my best boy. 💔🐾 I put this news in a story but that’ll expire so this one’s for the record. He left his glorious furry container at 3am, morning of July 4th. The other two photos were taken less than 12 hours earlier. He wasn’t doing well but had perked up for the bison I’d cooked him (no one @ me, I cooked him whatever he would eat). I didn’t think his time would be so soon, until around midnight when I realized it may be his time. I wrote an essay (open to all) on my Patreon page, top link in my bio or I may put it again in a new story—about how it happened, how it was. Harrowing and yet also painfully beautiful in a cycle of life way. But mostly painful. 💔 When I made my prior post (to which so many have added condolences) I had no idea he was leaving so soon. I don’t have words yet for all of it. But am floored by the inflow of kind messages just from the story. At some point will get to reading them all. Forgive me if all I can do to reply is the heart emoji acknowledgement. I have to get used to my new identity. I haven’t wanted to leave my apartment because then it’s somehow more real. I am a person, just me… my pup has left. The paw photo was taken just before his body was finally taken away. 😭 Leon, I have no words for how much I love you. It was my honor to be your momma. *** What to do about his @oneluckyrescuedog account? Maybe it’ll be a place for throwback photos, when I get to the place where I’m less sad and more, somehow, fulfilled that he had a good long life. Thank you to all who loved him. My good boy. 🌈 <— reminds me I have a beautiful photo of him in front of a rainbow I never before posted because it looked so much like a photo I’d post to memorialize his passing over the rainbow bridge. Will find it and post when it feels right. I’m heartbroken but am okay. It was his time and I got to see him over that bridge. Just him and me. Just you and me, Leon. 💓🐾🙏🏻✨ Leon always had love for everyone.

Dear dark roots: I will take care of you but not now. There is too much else to handle this week. This is what the last year has been preparing me for. Maybe what all the shitshows of the past have prepared me for. I’ve pulled it off before I can do it again. This time I’m different. Wiser. I was always strong but in the ways other than confidence in myself. I’ve got it now, in the only ways that matter. Plus certainty. This time he’s not here. If the devil is real it was that man. I learned a lot through all that so thanks I guess. Leon’s still here. He might be peeing all day and diapered and hurls a lot but he’s here, grounding me while I still need him. Handsome as always. If angels are real they’re dogs. 🐾 And I feel like there’s a reason that Zagat sign is still there, tacked to the wall in the basement office. I love you all. 💓✨ I can do this. And make it all worthwhile. Endless thanks to those who’ve helped carry me this past year, who still help. Not out of woods yet but there’s so much light. I can’t wait to pay everything forward. (And back). 🙏🏻 I love you @purefoodandwine @oneluckyduck and of course @oneluckyrescuedog Always all for you

TWENTY YEARS ago today. June 17th 2004 @purefoodandwine opened. It was a big risk as a concept hardly anyone understood. Me in a chef coat was for the photo op at opening. (Why do I have so few photos from the opening? No iPhones back then🤪) I didn’t open it alone, and the food and desserts were the magic of so many others (too many to name but u know who u are💓) The energy infused with theirs, ours. It wasn’t for me it was for them, for you. Along with @oneluckyduck … Anyone want it to come back? If so @joeyshotsauce would you make us playlists? 🙏🏻✨💓🌱🦆 Here for it.
