Hamish and his son Owl fled to Santa Monica. By the next morning, they received the news that everything had been lost. Their possessions, their home and their beloved cat were gone. Our mountain has been moon-scaped. A man of strong faith, Hamish prayed for a miracle among the ashes.
He was granted that miracle. Neighbors spotted him today and are feeding him until we can get to him, which could be days.
Keep Mike in your prayers he is part of our family! Fortunately, neighbors who had access were happy to take up the caregiver role. They left water and food out for Mike to give him a fighting chance at survival. Being displaced in Santa Monica without their home and loved ones was starting to weigh on Hamish.
Their life had once been a quiet, natural oasis; now it was a bustling and vibrant urban jungle. To cheer up the family, another friend brought them a kitten to play with for a few hours. A kitten! For 15 minutes, they shook the can of cat treats to try to draw Mike out of hiding. They were just about to give up hope of finding him. He finally emerged, and in a tear filled emotional reunion, Hamish and Georgie embraced Mike.
We found Mike the mini-puma! Thank you morganrunyon for taking him water! Thank you everyone who kept the light on for Mike with their prayers! Seattle Seahawks.

As he leaned over with his cigarette, he saw… something. A destined premonition? Whatever it was, it compelled Patterson to ask this man for help.
As it turned out, the stranger had fought for sobriety himself. He remembers one moment when the two passed a homeless man digging in the trash for food. Patterson has worked countless different jobs, but he seems to find the most joy in preaching a common-sense approach to finding satisfaction in life.
He takes gigs as a sobriety companion for people who need a partner for accountability and support, and he also offers one-on-one phone calls with those who want it. Otherwise, he just sort of brings his wisdom along with him wherever he goes.
As a child, Patterson moved from Boston to the Santa Cruz Mountains near San Francisco, and later went down the coast to Malibu, where the year-old fell in love with the salty, working-class feel of the community. His environmental activism started shortly thereafter when he moved to Portland, Ore. A few years later, Patterson felt pulled back to Malibu, and returned to surf, skate and dabble in a number of day jobs, usually in carpentry and construction. He developed tight bonds with familiar local faces, including Peak, whom he met while surfing but leaned on as a pillar of support when Patterson decided to take on sobriety.
Later, when Peak was sent to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation after an incident at a local shopping center , it was Patterson who shelved his cross-country plans and moved in with Peak to look out for him. I honestly consider him a mentor, even. He lost each time, but surprised a lot of residents with his knowledge of local politics, pushing back hard on things like luxury housing developments, a proposed sewer expansion and a renovation of the Malibu lagoon.
I used to rip my bong and watch city council meetings just to make fun of it.
