These seemed like appropriate shots on a gray Monday afternoon.


His name is Yoshka–he’s an old man that is getting tired–just turned 12.

But I also had to add this one which is one of my all-time favorites:

“It’s a Pug off…. Wally and Miley might run U street, but Brady owns Adam’s Morgan”

“Dear PoP,

I am the Pastor of the Church that has the door that you referenced as Door of the Day on July 20, 2010. The door you note is a picture of St. Francis — the Saint who loved and blessed animals.

I wanted to let you know that Saturday at 3pm. in front of this door, on the front of the building of Luther Place Memorial Church, 1226 Vermont Ave. NW, on Thomas Circle, we will be holding a pet blessing.

The hosts of the pet blessing are my beagle Sparky and pug puppy Oliver. They will offer human and animal snacks as well as bandannas for all critters who come out.”

And a reader has a very serious question:

“Help! Despite regular use of Frontline Plus (topical flea & tick stuff) my coolest dog has fleas! After a week of scratching and much examining for a week I saw one actual flea about 3 weeks ago. I applied her regular does that day, a few days early, washed all her bedding etc. but it did not seem to do a thing. Yesterday my vet said I could apply another dose, and I’ve been washing bedding, vacuuming everywhere since then.

Has anyone else had flea trouble despite using Frontline? Any luck ridding the house permanently?”

“Mandy – Doing what she does best! The most chillax tuxedo cat in Petworth.”

And we got some good news from the National Zoo this morning:

” The birth of three more lion cubs at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo this morning has contributed to the growth of the Zoo’s lion pride over the past three weeks and has brought the total number of cubs to seven so far. The Zoo’s six-year-old lion Nababiep gave birth to the three newest cubs three weeks after her sister, five-year-old Shera, gave birth to four cubs. Because it is not uncommon for intervals between births to be several hours long, keepers are continuing to monitor Nababiep today for additional cubs.

Luke, the Zoo’s four-year-old male lion, is father to all seven cubs and is the most genetically valuable lion in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for African lions (Panthera leo). An SSP matches individual animals across the country for breeding in order to maintain a healthy, genetically diverse and self-sustaining population.”
