Lost: Black Lab mix with blue collar near Friday Harbor

I lost my Milo yesterday around 6:30 pm near the Friday Harbor ferry terminal and along Spring Street. He's a 2-year-old black Labrador mix, about 60 pounds, with a blue nylon collar and an orange ID tag that says MILO. He has a small heart-shaped white patch on his chest and a little notch in his left ear. If you see him, he's usually friendly but a bit shy with new people, and he sometimes limps on his right paw after a long walk. This dog is my walking companion and it's really stressful not knowing where he is—I'd be incredibly grateful to get him back.

Emerald parakeet with blue tail, lost near Friday Harbor

I lost my emerald-green parakeet yesterday around 6pm near the Friday Harbor Market on Spring Street. My parakeet is about 5 inches tall, with a bright blue tail patch and a tiny white scar on the left side of his beak. I can spot a red leg band marked 'A1' on his leg, and his cheerful chirp gives him away when I'm nearby. This bird means a lot to my family, especially my daughter, so I’d really appreciate getting him back.

Leopard gecko, orange with white spots, ~4 inches

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my leopard gecko near the Safeway on 11th Street in Anacortes. It's about 4 inches long from head to tail, with a bright orange base and irregular white spots along its back; the tail is a bit chunky and ends in a pale tip. It lives in an Exo Terra terrarium, and there's a tiny scar on its right hind foot from a recent little tumble. My kid calls him Sunny and this gecko has a lot of sentimental value—we're really worried we won't see him again. If anyone found him, please text me right away so we can come pick him up; we'd be forever grateful.

Lost blue dog leash with floral pattern near the waterfront in Skagit, Washington.

I lost my favorite blue dog leash, which has a cute floral pattern, while walking my dog near the waterfront in Skagit. We were about to head to the dog park when I realized it must have slipped from my hand when I was checking my phone. If you find it, please let me know as it was a gift from a dear friend!
