Your Afternoon Animal Fix

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 the name of your pet and your neighborhood. If you’ve already entered your pet and would like to do so again – that’s no problem – just space the entries out a bit.

“Otto in Columbia Heights”

“The great Kandy, who commanded order in NW dog parks for the last two years. She passed away Thursday night, at 13, after a short and mostly painless bout with cancer.”

“Jack from Eckington giving his best stare down”

Still looking for Tiny. Please call Michael at 202-374-6591 if you’ve seen her.

    Hugs to Kandy and Tiny’s families!

  • I was lucky enough to know Kandy, and yeah, she had a beautiful life.

  • S&S think Jack is quite the handsome fella.

  • Oh, Kandy, you are beautiful. Glad you won your battle with cancer quickly.

    :( I’m really sorry that Tiny has gone on that long bender you mentioned… I hope the little lady finds her way home soon. Thinking of you and keeping my eyes peeled for her!

    Thoughts also to Kandy and her family. May doggie-heaven be all you’ve dreamed it to be!

  • Hello from the person who lost TINY. Thanks for all of your support. I’ve met a number of you over the years, and many more in the past couple of days.

    I received a suspicious phone call at 5PM today from a young male using a BLOCKED cell phone number. There were a few voices in the background, and he seemed somewhat distracted as I talked to him.

    His first question was whether the dog can be tracked with her microchip. I said No, the chip provides ID information when the dog is brought to a shelter.

    I asked whether he had seen the dog, and he said Yes, about 30 minutes before. Where? Running down Upshur Street. Then, he hung up on me.

    I think someone picked the dog up on Sunday afternoon, soon after she got away, and wants to keep her but not get caught. They saw the one of my flyers or one of the neighborhood listserv notices, and started to worry about being identified by the microchip in the dog.

    So, I ask everyone to keep your eyes open for a young person or small group of young people who may be playing with Tiny. Since the weather is so beautiful, I’m sure they will be outside, maybe in the front yard or the backyard. They may be taking her for a walk. She can be identified by the two large brown spots in her fur on her back, and by a small white bump on her underside, just in front of her left back leg.

    • Michael, I’m so sorry this has happened to you. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out.

      That’s disturbing. But they’re kids– hopefully in a couple days they’ll realize a dog (even a hopelessly adorable one) is a lot of work and they’ll let her loose again.

    I’m so sorry to Kandy’s family. She looked lovely and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

    Tiny’s family– I’m so so sorry about this too. I will keep my eyes peeled for your sweet dog with such distinctive ears.
