(Our new contributor Sharon continues her series of vignettes, revolving around the Wallingford Playfield) On the way out for our nightly family walk a few weeks ago, I found a flyer in our mailbox about a lost cat. Hugh, an adorable gray kitty, lived a few blocks away and was greatly missed by his family. I was reading the text aloud when our son came bounding out of the house and snatched the paper away. “Why do you have a picture…
We're very happy to welcome a new sponsor to Wallyhood, the fine folks over at Pangaea Organica, roasting artisan, fair trade coffee right in Wallingford. The second best thing about Pangaea is that they will actually deliver the coffee to your door within a day of it being roasted if you live in Wallingford (or nearby). That is fresh and local! Click their logo to the right for more info. The first best part about Pangaea is that they are donating…
Continuing our tradition of reuniting pets with the owners, we bring to your attention today Hugh, who is sorely missed by Ellie and her sister. Ellie writes: All gray with a silver sheen, some white spots on his tummy. Microchipped. Black collar with reflective sides and a large yellow tag. Is an inside cat so he doesn’t know the area. Doesn’t usually meow. His sister really misses him! Missing from 42nd & Sunnyside 206-632-6982 or 206-261-0013

Maybe we'll just become the blog of lost and found animals. Kellie spotted this sign on the corner of Stone Way and 43rd. For the record, Ben noted in comments that the lost cat he found was meowing for 12 hours at their window. OK, probably lost then. Or maybe it was in love!
From cats lost to cats found, we got 'em all. Ben sent in this photo of a red-collared cat he found on 53rd between Meridian and Wallingford. Truth be told, he doesn't look all that stressed to us. Hate to get all geeky on you, Ben, but to quote the master: "Not all those who wander are lost".
