My boss commented yesterday that she'd seen Icarus in the SPCA ad in the Ithaca Journal the day before, and wondered if he'd been brought back. I e-mailed Sarah, the adoptions director, and she said no, the Journal just sometimes uses old info.

But she had two dogs she'd thought would be perfect for me. A seven-year-old black lab mix and a one-year-old but "super sweet, shy" pit bull mix.

I've got a canine houseguest coming for a few days this weekend, and will be at the GrassRoots Festival most of the weekend anyway, but will stop over next week to check these two out.
