Pearl Jam's Hard to Imagine (originally written around 1992 and released in 2003's Lost Dogs)

Found this pretty but very dirty girl running up the side of I-84 near the Cesar Chavez exit earlier today. Taking her to get checked for a tag. I checked for lost dog posts but didn't see any that matched her.

She is young, sweet and playful. Clearly she is very loved. PDX folx, anybody know her?

Trying to reunite this lost old doggo with it's owners is hard; the RSPCA won't help, I live rurally and there aren't any locals missing a dog, they don't have a name tag on their collar, my local vet won't even see me to scan for a microchip because the dog isn't registered with them, and so the best I could manage was calling a local dog warden. They are sending someone out to pick the doggo up later.

UPDATE: The dog warden just picked her up. Thankfully she has a microchip! I'm relieved she will be okay 💙

The fairly common assumption that we ourselves can afford to be ignorant because somewhere there is somebody who knows the answer — such an assumption builds ignorance fast, and builds it widely. The rapid growth of knowledge we sometimes boast about, seen in this perspective, looks like its opposite: the rapid growth of ignorance. Unchecked, it could become absolute; and that would be disaster. For no one then would trust himself to speculate about the huge central things that matter most. He would have lost the ambition, and to that extent the power, to do so.

My beloved girl disappeared today, we think someone accidentally let her out while opening the front door. Her name is Biddy, she’s an older dog, chihuahua mix, white fur with slight brown markings on her ears, she only has one eye due to an injury a few years back. She might seem scary at first because she is scared of strangers, but she really is a sweetheart if you can calm her down and give her pets or something, and shes loved a lot. We live around Circle and Pikes Peak, I’m scared because some of the traffic around here is busy.
