Thank you, Apple girl. Thank you for being such an idiosyncratic and endearingly off-beat, weirdo pup. Thank you for humbling me through my 20s; grounding me in my 30s; thru growth, heartache, failures and successes- you loved me all the same. Thank you for being a companion of 15 years— thru a global pandemic, existential crisis and dread, trauma and displacement. Thank for being an adventure-buddy, passenger-princess. Thank you for gracing my family, friends, and climbing community with your presence— you were truly endeared and adored. Thank you for ushering Hailey, Barley and I, almost a year to the date, to our new lives in the PNW— even waiting for @hailey_niswanger and I to get engaged before you left. Thank you for the simple, quiet, little joys you brought me everyday— I’ll miss them so much; I already do. Thank you for being so patient and gentle with me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being my pup. I love you, Apple. 🍏 ❤️ by @androoig

It’s been a really hard week.. There really is nothing like the love you have for your dog, they etch sooo deeply into your heart.
We had to say goodbye to Apple, our sweet, spunky, weirdo..our insanely cute little love. The biggest bonus of falling in love with @androoig was getting to fall in love with her too. 3+ years didn’t seem like enough time with her, but I’m so glad Andrew had a full 15 years of love.
Heart is aching now wishing I could scoop her in my arms, kiss her little head, watch her burst into the house at full sprint, see her freak out for her food.. I will miss her forever, but gosh I feel so so lucky I got to love her. 🍏♾️ by @androoig

closing the chapter, processing the grief, shock, devastation. it’s all been sooooo much.
on friday i went to say goodbye, and search the ashes.
i was sick to my stomach, tears in my eyes, and a heavy heart as i looked upon our home for the first time since the fires took it from us. heartbroken and fuckin angry that this happened.
it seemed like an impossible mission to find anything, but with the help of some amazing humans, some of my grandmas jewelry and pottery gifted from friends was recovered. it was a balm for my heart to have found something that is connected to my past and loved ones that are no longer here.
how weird it was to see what was my piano, saxophone stands, interface, table, shower tiles, (not much else was recognizable)..and picture what it all used to be.. my safe place, my place to rest, host friends, create music.. and just miss it so damn much. and not just my home, but beautiful Altadena as a whole. 💔
it’s all truly unbelievable that this happened, and i guarantee you no picture does it justice for how insanely massive this disaster is.
my heart is healing, but this has forever changed my life and my being.
i am so grateful for our amazing community, the volunteers, organizers, first responders, and kind humans everywhere that are helping those affected get through this. blesss youuu forever and always.
sending all my love. thank you.

@androoig you are my favorite, you are my home. ❤️
