Today was a beautiful day. I went for a longish ride and felt better than I have in a couple weeks. But all that feel-goodiness came crashing down when I encountered an adorable dog that seemed to have been recently abandoned in Fairmount Park. It looked like maybe a sheepdog-terrier mix or something like that. No collar, but cleanish, which makes me think it had been abandoned within the last few days. I wanted to catch him and bring him home, but he had crossed the road and disappeared into the forest by the time I caught up to him. Even spent a while clomping around the underbrush (Philly underbrush, meaning broken bottles, trash, and a jungle-growth of weeds) in my cycling shoes and calling "Here, puppy!" but no luck.
Anyway, don't abandon your pets, assholes. If you can't take care of them anymore, there are ample resources for adoption or fostering.
To close this out, here are some pets. I figured I posted too much dog up in here, so cats now: the late Perseus (or as I called him, Percival cause he was really not a Perseus by the time I knew him) and the current Poison.
