Bird, cat, dog.

By Sarah Phelan.

Walking on Potrero Hill at lunch time, I saw a $1,000 reward posted for a gray cockatiel.

The poster suggested catching the bird by the burrito method (throw a towel over bird, roll it up gently with bird inside, and voila!) or by dousing it with a water hose.

Around the corner, I saw a poster announcing the disappearance of a black and white cat called Sumo. (The photo is of a similar cat “though Sumo is much bigger around,” according to the poster.)

Watching from inside a house was a dog, who may or may not know about the whereabouts of the bird and the cat, but apparently is for progress and Obama. Woof!
