If you have a good animal/pet photos or news (including lost pets, pets for adoption, dog park news or any other interesting animal sightings) please shoot me an email with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title or upload to the PoPville flickr pool.

“Dear PoP,

I happened to be at City Paws this evening when a very nice man brought in a beautiful gray cat that he had found earlier today on S St., NW, between 14th and 15th. The cat had a pink collar, ID tags and was even marked as having a microchip, so you’d think it would have been easy to reunite her with her people, but no such luck.

Turns out the ID tags included a phone number that was disconnected, and the microchip that was supposedly installed wasn’t actually there. (The vet tech said she scanned everywhere, but still no chip.)

Since I happened to have my camera with me, I snapped a few pics (see attached) and told the man who found the gray beauty that I’d send them to you in hopes that you could help.

The cat really is sweet — even when surrounded by strangers — and, as you can see, she’s a real cutie.

Anyone who knows anything about the kitty should contact him (not me), since he went home with the cat. His name is Didier and he can be reached at [email protected] or 202.309.6724 (cell).

After the jump a blast from the past Snowpocalypse style. (more…)

Even though the pet contest is nearly over I think I’m gonna keep some type of pet/animal theme going for the 3:30 posts. This can be news from the zoo, lost pets, adopt a pet, dog park news, a random sighting etc. So if you have a good animal/pet photo or news shoot me an email or upload to the PoPville flickr pool please.

Speaking of the Coolest Pet in PoPville 2010 contest – it is very close. I won’t say who are the top 2 but they are within 30 votes of each other. Voting stays open until midnight tomorrow!


My friend just got a couple of new puppies and while they are both awesome you gotta see the face on this one:

I’m not sure the photo does him justice but this I suspect the coolest Pet in PoPville contest 2010 just got a bit tougher…


After a contentious battle the three finalists have been selected. Voting for the overall winner will be open until Wed., 11:59 pm. I know there was some question as to voting irregularities. So I’m gonna keep a close watch over this poll. Should obvious irregularities emerge the finalist will be disqualified. Of course you can have friends and family vote but no programming votes. All the pets this year brought lots of joy to lots of people so thanks for entering. Good luck to the finalists. Let’s keep the vote honest!

Calliope pulled out the victory over Cladius with a final tally of 39% of the vote. Calliope will face the winner of the Cat and Dog category next Monday for the overall Coolest Pet in PoPville. Cat voting is open until Wed. 11:59pm with a tight race between Oreo, Ike and Oliver though it’s always possible for an underdog to emerge. Dog voting is open until Friday 11:59pm with a super tight race between Dr. Dre and Oz. Congrats again to Calliope.


As suspected chosing finalists was not an easy task. If I had this much trouble for the other category I dread selecting the cats and dog finalists… Anyway, you will vote a winner for each category and then the winners of each category will compete against each other for an overall winner. The poll for “Other” category will be open until Friday night. You can tell your friends/colleagues to vote for your favorite but please only vote once, we’re on the honor system here. Cat finalists will be announced Wed.
