Happy update: both babies are home and very proud of themselves for the adventure

Found these dogs wandering in and out of traffic not too far from my house. They have collars but no tags. Female pitbull and male Rottweiler. Both super sweet, hopped into my car without permission lol. I did walk a ways and nobody was calling or looking for them at that time so just posting and hoping someone claims them. They’re clearly well cared for and got lost! Female is pregnant and lactating.

Update:

I have already posted on Facebook prior to this. I got them scanned and both have microchips, but only the female is registered, and not with a phone number that is in service. So I’m still looking for the owner.

Here's a few more from my collection. I'm about to start a huge archiving project, will post more at some point.

That or it's part of some planetary emergency force field.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Here's a picture i took of the fireworks over downtown Rochester last night.

This is a horrible thing for this family to go through. I've had six dogs go through training locally, some of them rescues who needed multiple courses. I've never left a dog with a trainer. The owners need the training more than the dog. Be suspicious of any trainer that expects to keep your dog.

And I've mentioned this here before, but Tuxedo K9 Training Camp is to be avoided completely.

Hey y’all,

This is one of the stray cats I’ve been feeding every day. She’s incredibly friendly, affectionate, and would make a wonderful companion. She loves people and is very adoptable.

She’s a beautiful black cat with a white tuxedo marking on her chest, which gives her an adorable tuxedo look.

A couple of days ago, I saw some kids throwing water bottles at him, and it broke my heart. She deserves to be safe, loved, and cared for instead of living on the streets. I’m hoping to find him the forever home she deserves.

To help with her transition, I’ll provide:
• One month’s supply of cat food
• A veterinary checkup
• Vaccinations
• She will be getting spayed by next week
• Transportation to her new home

If you’re interested in adopting her or would like more information, please send me a message. Serious inquiries only, please.

Please share this post if you can. Let’s help this sweet girl find a safe and loving home. 🐾❤️

Mt Read (including the lobby machine) and the DT only at Dewey/Latta are completely out of service.

I've used them for YEARS and this has never happened.

Just a heads up for people trying to handle banking today in Greece

LAUGHING GULL CHOCOLATES:

Laughing Gull Chocolates is trying to make their space more social and accessible, and they're raising money via a Kickstarter to do it.

LGC is an artisan chocolate shop based in Rochester. They're actually on East Main Street. Here's the site if you want to check them out: https://laughinggullchocolates.com/

As for what they're raising money for, there's a lot more info on the campaign page, but the TLDR pulled from that is: "[LGC is] transforming our small chocolate shop into a more accessible, welcoming gathering place for Rochester with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, community mural, expanded indoor and outdoor seating, and a celebration that brings community together through chocolate."

Essentially, they're trying to expand to make their space more accessible and community-friendly.

WRAITHMARKED:

We (Wraithmarked) are specialty book press based in Rochester, with a focus in deluxe edition sci-fi and fantasy novels! We do most of our business on Kickstarter ($10mil+ raised over 5+ years), so when we stumbled on this campaign (and being as familiar with Kickstarter as we are) we wanted to give LGC a boost if possible.

THE MATCH:

For the next 24hrs, until 11am ET Monday, the 6th, Wraithmarked will be matching every $1 raised on the campaign, up to $1000. They are starting at $5,325 as of this post, whatever that increases by by tomorrow at 11am, we'll match up to $1000, so even $1-5 will add up from enough people, if you have time to drop them a small pledge!

Hope everyone had a good 4th!

PS: Like we said in the title, they did not ask for this push. Doubt they've ever heard of us. Because Kickstarter is our space, we just thought it was a good opportunity to help out another local business.
