Roaming the southwest

Living on the road my friend,
Is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron,
Your breath as hard as kerosene.
You weren’t your mama’s only boy,
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye,
And sank into your dreams.

Cane di Roma

Ross just came back from a whirlwind tour of the Mediterranean, and he was kind enough to take a photo especially for me. This is what lost dog flyers look like in Rome:

And now we know that people care about Italian dogs, even the ones that aren’t frankfurters covered in marinara. Thanks, Ross.

Do not chase

Can you feel Fuzzy’s nervous vibrating in this photo? I can. Shiver shiver shiver.

And what is this in the left hand corner about a pet detective? I want to be a pet detective.

Lost destiny

Gort found this the other day. I’m sure Anne Wheeler is upset, but maybe she can take some solace in the fact that she’s at least one step ahead of me. I don’t know where my destiny is either, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have an Avid id chip.


I could make a joke about an Avid ego chip here, but I’m not cheap like that.

Don’t be sorry

Look what Gort found on her walk this morning in Elysian Park:


The bulletin board here also had a notice for a found chihuahua, but I don’t think this owner is going to be interested in getting a substitute.

Thanks, Gort!

Trending

About a month ago, noted lost pet flyer finder Janet spotted this notice:


And then late last week, Benny spotted this notice:


“Handsome” is clearly the adjective to watch this summer.

Family

When your last name is Smith or Jones or Lopez, it’s not that unusual to hear of pets who share your last name. “Here, SeƱor Lopez! Come here, boy!” Like that.

When your last name is Herndon, however, it is rather unusual.


Hi there, Dutch. I don’t see much of a resemblance, but do you think we might be related?

Bow down and show your reverence

One of the Fabulous Lasker Sisters just showed me a pretty amazing lost pet notice she found over the weekend.


It’s a little blurry because she was quaking with amazement at the graphic design skills displayed by Conchita‘s owner. Seriously – have you ever seen such tasteful font usage and artwork on a lost pet flyer? It looks like a poster for an arthouse film or a package of gourmet sausages or something.

Behind blue eyes

I’ve never wanted to find a dog as much as I want to find this one:

My friend Janet found the notice in Eagle Rock, so she’s already one step closer to this magnificent creature than I am.

I must know it’s you


I really don’t think this person wants to give up this dog:


They kind of gave away the sex of the dog there, but I have a feeling it’s going to be really hard for anyone to provide an adequate enough description to prove rightful ownership. Also, what’s that covered over in White-Out? “Do not forget cod and bloodtype”? “Do not forget colander bridgerip”? “Do not forge corn and javaring”? I may have to go back with my magnifying glass.
