Your Afternoon Animal Fix + Recommend Evening Hour Dog Walkers

If you have any fun or interesting animal/pet photos please shoot me an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say what neighborhood you’re from or upload to the PoPville flickr pool with your pets name and neighborhood. I can’t guarantee I’ll get them all posted but I’ll do my best.

“This is Loki! We live on the cusp of Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant right on 16th St. the border. This is him wearing his favorite bowtie.”

And a reader asks:

“Dear PoPville,

I know we recently discussed dog walker recommendations. I’ve gone through the list of recommendations and have contacted a few of the suggested walkers or businesses. However, none seem to provide the service I need in the neighborhood where I reside. I live in Northeast, just off of North Capitol (across from Bloomingdale, south of the Hospital Center, north of Rhode Island Ave). I am looking for an evening, and primarily weekend evening, occasional dogwalker for times when I am out of town and my other half is at work. Given that his hours are 3 or 4 p.m. to approximately 4 a.m., I need to find someone who could ideally come around 8 or 9 p.m. and take the dog out for his nightly walk. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.”
