Alza Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson Company, is closing their Mountain View, CA. facility.
It's criminal the company isn't finding them homes. Wait, I guess they were potential test animals so it's not like the company was ever trying to be good guys. Boo to them.
I want a beagle! Unfortunately my springer spaniel does not. I sent email to the three people I know in SoCal who don't already read b.org. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the wee beasties.
edit: I love that my mom swears in acronyms. She wrote back "HFC that's not a lot of time!" I'm hoping she can spread the word among her retirement community.
If there's a beagle rescue group in the area, they can swoop in, swoop up all 16 and have foster homes for them until they can be placed. Foster groups are the best. Forster groups on the other hand, I have no knowledge of, though I typed it five times.

Local fen have been trying to locate one--and adopting individually. That is a lot of pups though.

I was at a Firefly convention in London this weekend.

I never heard back from the beagle guy so I hope this means all the puppies have found homes.
edit: oh I hope that whole thing wasn't just a phishing expedition. I sent my inquiry regarding the beagles from my regular email address, not the one I usually send from for potentially insecure situations. I just noticed I have 85 new messages in my SPAM folder. Since I opened that account I've never had more than two.
And it looks like the entire broadcast audience turned up for it, Kevin.
Because I love Tim very much, I dedicated a book to him and wrote a story in which he is immortalized as a sexy, bright, wonderful person.
And yet...
Today there was a crossword puzzle clue about Appamatox and I had a little pang knowing that there will be no more Drive.
