FYI

2004-07-09T06:02:54Z

This journal has been stagnant for a while, and it will continue to stay as is. But there's tons of fun happening over there. I did a preliminary addition of "friends" that I thought might be interested in reading library rants, but I'll definitely add anyone else that is interested--as long as you aren't part of library administration.

Good dog for a good home

2003-10-17T03:07:44Z

When I got home from school today I saw that my neighbors' dogs had gotten out of their backyard so I put the two dogs back in their fence and left a note for the neighbor. The neighbors asked me if I knew of a good home for one of the dogs, so I'm posting here to see if anyone is interested in adopting a female young adult Yellow Lab. She has been spayed and vaccinated, and looks very healthy. She's pretty mild-mannered, but spunky enough to make you smile.

If anyone is interested, or knows of someone who might be interested, please contact me at the email address listed in my livejournal profile, or simply reply to this post. I can send a digital photo of the dog, and provide contact to the current owner.
