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. Your photos will go into the queue and will be posted in the order I receive them. 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.

“Parker, our 13-year-old Chow Chow/Lab mix in Columbia Heights, passed away on Sunday from old age. As a puppy, he lived through surgery to remove a sewing needle lodged in his heart, and as a senior he survived cancer and the amputation of his back leg. He was full of love, patience, and strength, and touched the lives of everyone who loved him. He will be greatly missed.”

“This is Milo, SW DC native, reminding everyone to vote and that furry friends have a voice too! Meow!”

“Satchel, one of Petworth’s newest residents, charms the trick or treaters with his cuteness in his monkey costume.”

“Julius in his Halloween costume. He is a Dogue de Bordeaux, and we live in Bloomingdale.”

“Weary of fighting, Darth Vader and Yoda (aka Mochi and Soba from U Street) decide to simply sit together in silence.”
