When you wrote earlier about visiting Kanab, I was wondering if you had, or would be visiting Best Friends. I haven’t been there, but have been donating to their amazing organization for many years. Thank you for sharing your trip and your incredible pictures & videos with us.

I want to thank you Tom, for making me see that America will always be about fighting the evil bast***s. Maybe that’s what it was, and always will be, about. Never give up. ❤️

Love, love, love!! Partial to Tucson might be part of the reason. Part two even though small, extremely cozy and a REAL WOOD burning fireplace. Really liking the way your accent is coming thru in this video:) I am definitely going to book a stay now that I am down to two dogs and after you go home:) No stalking here. Can't wait to see your videos and read about your adventures Tom. Thank you again.

I've had the pleasure of giving to Best Friends now for several years. I would highly recommend a visit. What they do is amazing. And it is in a beautiful setting just north of Kanab.

Lovvve the accent.

People in Nova are pretty smart they too pick up my accent from Philly pretty quick. You got your clothes out of the Cah, while they get their clothes OTE of the KER.

Enjoy your stay! The place looks like our kinda place to chill!

We are Sooooo enjoying your posts and pics and videos, especially the ones where your joyous accent and tone comes through!

Grateful you got there safely. What an adorable place!!! The fireplace is certainly a plus. I'm shocked that there is no TV in the place, but LOVE that there is not!!! Glad that Samwise recovered and hope there are no more injuries.

We don’t watch tv. I do stream Celtics games on my laptop, however.

I rarely watch TV, occasionally a movie on Netflix, but I don't have cable & get no channels. I much prefer being outside or reading in my free time! I'm just shocked that a rental wouldn't have a TV! I think it's wonderful!!!

I remember this darling little nest from last time. It must be so nice to return to a home away from home. Sammy wasted no time finding the bed 😆

Thank you for the tour of your casita, a lovely place to call home for the moment. It’s very cozy and welcoming.thank you for continuing to champion for animal rescues and helping to raise funds for them. It’s seems many are in dire straits either due to the downturn in the economy or weather catastrophes but whatever reason, I’m thankful they have you as a champion for their cause. I also want to thank you for you continued sharing of the beauty and wonder of your travels. The videos and stories are treasures. Thank you. Wishing you peace and happy trails.

I went to Best Friends in 2020. Had the $5 vegan lunch as well. It was excellent. It was during Covid that I was there so the tour was rather restrictive. I will return again one day. This is an amazing place, four star charity that I give to monthly.

So glad you're having a great trip. Looking forward to your future letters and sharing how you eat WFPB on the road. It's inspiring how humble and thankful you are for the simple things in life.

Lovely casita! We were privileged to visit Best Friends in 2021. Had a wonderful tour, a vegan lunch (for $5!) in their cafeteria, and we bought out the gift shop. Such a wonderful organization in a spectacular location.

Love the casita! No wonder you keep returning. Looking at Samwise on the bed, I'm wondering how much space you are left to squeeze into once all three of you are in it. ;-) What a creative and perfect logo for Best Friends. This coddiwomple is quite special. Thank you for all you share.
