Many of you wrote us to inquire about the indoor/outdoor dog beds we added to the cottage recently. Here are some more views, along with some of our other favorite pet gear:

We have no family in this giant city. Most of our friends here live on the opposite side of town, which means it can take HOURS to get to them because LA traffic is no joke. But, after 8 years at the Cottage, our next door neighbors have become just like family to us. Beyond being completely delightful, they’ve also helped us countless times with our house, our pups and our son. Yesterday they brought out a vintage chalkboard and entertained West in the gorgeous garden of their small home while @adamwinkleman and I took some dedicated time with our senior dog, StanLee. It meant so much to us. Here’s to community, kindness and compassion. Raising a family and running a business really does take a village. (In this case it’s a tiny and precious village, and I am ever so grateful.) @ziafinds

Friday night, playing with felt and flannel at the foot of the bed. Simple & small, but more than enough. 💫
