Where's Josie?

this evening i spoke to a woman who saw a dog who looked similiar to josie hanging out on the eastbound off ramp at the rt 193 exit off of 90. the sighting occurred at 7:27. she said the dog looked like josie's picture, but darker (but was wet). this is not far down 90 from where i saw that dog several weeks ago. i'm guessing this is the same dog i saw, but i never was able to say for sure that that dog was *not* josie.

we looked pretty thoroughly, but didn't see anything out in the kingsville area. then, while we were flyering some of the businesses in that area, i got a call from a geneva police officer that they'd brought in a dog that somewhat matched josie's description. after talking with him i was pretty sure it wasn't her, but went out to have a look. it was definitely not her, and i rather doubt it's even the dog people have been spotting. this dog is darker, although wet so it's hard to say, and probably more of a beagle/shepherd mix. i took some pics, but it was dark & rainy and she was in a kennel...can't see anything. also, the area she was picked up (roosevelt st., in geneva) is quite a bit north of where the dog matching josie's description was seen this morning, and on the other side of downtown geneva. and this dog has a black collar on. she's also definitely a much older dog, and i got the feeling she would surrender to a pursuing human pretty easily...didn't seem like she'd want to take her chances on her own. the officer was very helpful but had no way of knowing how long this dog had been loose...but i'm guessing it wasn't long.

oh, and the adult bookstore was the next place we were going to flyer when i got the call from the geneva police officer. figured i throw it in there to juice things up a little.... :)
