I'm so sorry to hear that he won't listen to you. Maybe wanting to spare his dog will make him decide to leave.

My friends had to evacuate Malibu this afternoon (two adult married guys and their kids: 19 and Autistic and 16 year old twins). It's the second time over the past three weeks they've had to leave. IMHO, they need to sell their house and move someplace safer.

Regardless of what the media would make you believe, there are a lot of places/communities/neighborhoods where they could live. But my friend's husband (who's an a-hole) wants to live in Malibu (because he's a snob and likes to live and say he lives in Malibu). They have an incredible view of the ocean but there are a lot of places in SoCal they could live with a beautiful ocean view and they wouldn't have to worry about fires or the nightmare that PCH is now because of traffic.

I hope they don't lose their house.....
