Leopard gecko Ember—orange with black spots

I lost my leopard gecko, Ember, yesterday around 3pm near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street, with Clarkson University visible across Market Street. Ember is about 4 inches long, bright orange with irregular black spots along her back and a pale belly. She has a small white patch on her snout and a tiny kink in her tail from a past tumble. She's fond of warm, dark spots and could be hiding under porches or in planters along Market Street between Clarkson's campus and downtown Potsdam. This gecko was a gift from my sister and holds a lot of sentimental value, so I'm really hoping she turns up soon. If you spot a gecko darting around a sunny sill or in a planter, text me and I’ll come right away to pick her up.

Lost blue collar with silver tag engraved 'Bobby' and unique paw print design near Potsdam-Canton-Massena park.

I lost a blue collar with a silver tag for my small terrier while walking in the park near Potsdam-Canton-Massena. It has a unique paw print design, and my dog's name, 'Bobby', is engraved on the tag. I was so distracted by him chasing after a squirrel that I didn't realize it had slipped off. If found, please let me know!
