We're Out of Business?! What Happened to Our Grooming Van..
What happens when your dream project turns into a six-month nightmare before it even gets started? Groom a shelter dog here! https://rockykanaka.com/groom This week, we're sharing the story behind our new shelter grooming van - why we bought it, how grooming can save dogs' lives, and the unexpected mechanical problems that nearly stopped the mission before it began. We talk about why so many shelter dogs never receive the grooming they desperately need, how a simple bath can dramatically increase adoption chances, and our vision of bringing mobile grooming services to shelters across the country. We also break down the costly repairs, disappointing experience with the seller, and why we're still committed to making this dream a reality despite every setback. Finally, we introduce this week's Adoptable Dog of the Week, Violet, the very first dog to receive a makeover in our grooming van and a transformation you won't want to miss.

No Doctor Would Listen..Until She Got a Service Dog Named Scout | Selma Blair
Selma Blair shares her go to coffee order, gets venerable and at the end of the episode has us all cracking up! 😂❤️ In this deeply personal episode of Dogs and Coffee, the iconic Selma joins Rocky and Kelly to share the years of unexplained symptoms, exhaustion, and self-doubt that came long before her MS diagnosis. She opens up about what it was like trying to hide symptoms she couldn't explain, why finally getting a diagnosis brought relief, and how learning to trust herself changed everything. At the center of her story is Scout, her remarkable service dog, who became much more than a mobility companion. Selma shares how Scout helped restore her confidence, supported her through daily life with MS and POTS, learned to remind her when it was time for medication, and gave her the courage to keep showing up—even on the hardest days. The conversation also explores the emotional realities of chronic illness, losing friendships, finding purpose through vulnerability, and why dogs have an incredible ability to make us feel seen when the world doesn't. There are plenty of laughs too, from Scout's obsession with treats and his refusal to swim, to stories from movie sets and Selma's refreshingly honest sense of humor. If you've ever struggled to trust your own body, cared for someone facing chronic illness, or experienced the unconditional love of a dog, this episode is for you. Make sure you check out Selma Blair in the upcoming Ethan Almighty: Kentucky rescue dog's story that is hitting the big screen soon.

We Got Robbed...and It Keeps Getting Worse
What do you do when the place you're building to help rescue dogs becomes the target of theft, vandalism, and repeated break-ins? This week, we're pulling back the curtain on something we've been dealing with at Flip Farms. Over the past few weeks, we've been hit by multiple robberies and acts of vandalism, and honestly, it's been frustrating, confusing, and at times pretty heartbreaking. We talk through what happened, how it's affected us, and what it feels like when a place you're pouring your heart into suddenly doesn't feel quite as safe. We also get into the emotional side of it all—the self-blame, the sleepless nights, the challenge of staying open and welcoming while figuring out how to better protect the farm, the animals, and the future we're trying to build here. But it's not all heavy. We share some of the bright spots too, including the launch of our new rescue coffee truck, an incredible turnout from the community at Rancho Coastal Humane Society, and some of the lessons we learned from our very first event. We also talk about Flip Farms, where it's headed, and why we're more committed than ever to creating a place that brings people together around rescue, coffee, and community. And because Flip is at the heart of everything we do, I share a special moment that reminded me why this whole journey started in the first place with my soul dog, Flip. Then we wrap up with this week's Adoptable Dog of the Week, Blossom, a beautiful Great Pyrenees who's discovering that people can be kind, safe, and worth trusting after a difficult start in life. If you've ever faced a setback while chasing a dream, or if you just believe dogs make the world a better place we'd love for you to join us.

The Cat Guy Who Secretly Has 5 Dogs | The REAL Jackson Galaxy
Jackson Galaxy is known worldwide as the cat behavior expert and host of My Cat From Hell, but his journey to becoming a pro didn't come in a straight line. Before the structure and stability, there was a struggle with addiction - until he walked into an animal shelter and found his purpose. In this episode, Jackson opens up about the realities of his past and how committing to the animals that no one else chose quietly started changing him back. We also dive deep into the broken shelter system, why he champions feral and community cats, and his famous "Seven Deadly Cat Sins" (including why you should never squirt your cat with water or declaw them). Plus, Jackson reviews some interesting pet toys, talks about the surprising discovery of a half-sister, and shares memories of his soul pets, Rudy and Velouria. Then, we wrap up with "Kelly's Always Right" and introduce this week's adoptable dog, Kaiser - a scruffy, 10-month-old terrier mix from Jersey who is great with cats!

Cesar Millan Told Us Something We Weren't Ready For
We're not sure our hearts were ready for this but I am so Glad Cesar shared. You know when the Dog Whisperer himself opens up and is willing to be venerable to help others it's because he has a heart of gold. In our Season 1 wrap (and our very first episode shot at the farm + brand-new coffee trailer), Kelly and Rocky revisit the moments that hit us hardest, including the one from Cesar Millan we honestly weren't ready for. We rewatch Zach Skow's "90 days to live" confession, Alison Eastwood's take on what dog rescue actually requires, and Molly Burke on the certified service-dog lie nobody talks about. Then we sit down with the voice behind Sitting With Dogs, our producer Alexis for the full behind-the-scenes she's never shared on camera. Plus this week's adoptable dog, Bolt.

Bobby Berk Just Roasted This $10,000 Home Design Trend
Get Flip Coffee and Help Dogs Here: https://www.flipcoffee.com Bobby Berk joins Rocky and Kelly for a conversation that is funny, deeply personal, and surprisingly emotional, starting with the story of a young kid in rural Missouri secretly redecorating his bedroom because he instinctively understood how space could affect the way a person feels. From there, Bobby opens up about growing up in a small town where he felt forced to hide who he was, the moment he realized he had to leave home at just 15 years old, and how survival mode eventually turned into ambition. He shares stories from telemarketing call centers, Applebee's shifts, sleeping in dorm rooms and cars, and the unexpected journey that eventually led him to New York City and the creation of his own furniture company. Bobby breaks down how he accidentally became a designer, why he never thought he was qualified for the industry, and how learning to "sell himself" became the key to building a business and eventually landing Queer Eye. He also reflects on the emotional impact of the show, the kindness of its fanbase, and what it felt like when strangers started sharing stories about how the show changed their lives. The conversation also dives into Bobby's relationship with his mini labradoodle Bimini, whose separation anxiety completely changed the rhythm of his home life and travel habits. Bobby shares why he refuses to design around fear of pets making messes, why dogs deserve to feel fully at home, and how your environment can dramatically affect your mental health. PLUS: Rocky and Bobby discover they both worked in Springfield, Missouri call centers and Applebee's restaurants at nearly the exact same time, Bobby shares behind-the-scenes details about Junkyard Jackpot, and the group debates collectibles, clutter, design mistakes, and the emotional weight we attach to our stuff.

From there, Henrik breaks down the mindset behind building BarkBox, Bark in the Belly, and Bark Air, the first airline designed entirely around dogs. Henrik shares why he rejects the idea of "playbook founders," why he trusts instinct over consensus, and why he still stands by the straight-shooting comments he made in an Animal Planet pitch meeting with Rocky years ago. He also opens up about idea generation, risk, creative friction, and why solving problems for dogs is often easier, and more joyful, than solving them for humans.
