“Dear PoPville,

My good friend lost her cat, Minou, yesterday. She was doing some yard work when Minou got startled and managed to sprint out of a gate that had been left slightly ajar. It happened so fast and my friend is quite distraught. Minou is one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met, and we all adore her. She generally loves humans, but she must be so scared right now, I’m not sure she’d approach anyone. This happened in Trinidad near 15th and Neal St NE.

12 lbs female cat answers to Menew or Nunu.
Green eyes, black and orange patches with white belly.
Lost from 1500 block of Neal St NE on March 9th

Do You Recognize this Lost Pup in the Snow? UPDATE – “that’s Maybell, she loves snow and is very independent”

“Dear PoPville,

I’m not quite sure what was going on with this little guy, but he was alone. I saw him/her sniffing around the corner of Champlain and Kalorama around 9:15am. I tried to get close, but he or she was very timid. I tried for awhile then they let out a bark and I walked away. They had 2 tags on, so appears to be a pet.”

UPDATE from twitter: “that’s Maybell. She recently moved to Champlain from Swann and she’s fine – I called her owner. They were unloading more stuff. She’s home. Never actually lost – she loves snow and is very independent”

Please Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Lost Tabby – Boris – Update: Found!

“Dear PoPville,

Please help us find our lost tabby Boris. He’s an inside cat who doesn’t have street smarts anymore and it is breaking my heart that he’s outside in the cold right now. I have reached out through all the appropriate channels (humane society, etc).

He is an orange tabby, sweet personality but most likely scared. He’s ten pounds, with a bit of a belly. He doesn’t have tags because he’s an indoor cat, but he has a chip from the HS. He ran out of our apartment on T street between 13th and 14th, in the back alley that we share with people in Wallach street. He ran down three flights of stairs and I know he must be somewhere close. I can’t imagine not having him in my life and my boyfriend and I can’t stop walking around and looking for him. Please help us, I would be eternally grateful.

He’s so affectionate. My phone number is 337-412-3717 and if someone knows where he is they can post on facebook, call or email [tinkrm(at)gmail.com], at any hour and I will come get him.”

Lost Cat, Bugsy, Missing from Park View – Update: Found

By Prince Of Petworth

Bugsy

“Dear PoPville,

Our cat got out yesterday around 4pm and we have not seen him since. He was an indoor out door cat with his previous owner in the neighborhood (Park View) but has been an indoor cat for about a year. We call him Bugsy. He is very very friendly and likes people so he would come straight up to you or hang out near a house hoping to get in. If anyone has seen him they can email me at julia(at)spoolia.com or call me at 202-374-4001.”

Please Continue Keeping Your Eyes Peeled for Havoc

By Prince Of Petworth

“Havoc has been seen consistently in your neighborhood for the past 3 months, and this has been confirmed by K9 tracking dogs. My volunteers and I spend hours a day looking for him, but at this point, the chances are small that there will bet he perfect right time/ right place to see Havoc. This is where I am asking for help.

An IMMEDIATE phone call is so critical to me getting Havoc home. It does not matter if it’s 3:00 am or you are unsure of what you saw – I’d rather get incorrect calls than no calls. Havoc moves quickly, so waiting even 15 minutes makes a huge difference. If you do see Havoc, please follow him until I get there – I can be there in 10 minutes.

Please save my number. Put it in your phone, or take a picture of this flyer with your camera phone so you always have my information on hand. I continue to get sightings, but they come hours or days later because people tell me they do not have my phone number handy.

Thank you for the continued tolerance of all my signs.. I cannot wait for the day when I can remove them.”

Dear PoPville – “Ridiculous and Disgusting”

By Prince Of Petworth

IMG_4044

“Dear PoPville,

Took a walk this morning and came across an odd display. The astro-turf yard of the newly remodeled building in Logan Circle is strewn with dog sh*t – literally dozens and dozens of piles of dog sh*t. There must be a few weeks worth of sh*t. It’s a really nice house, probably worth in the high six digits if not a million.”

We’ve spoken about the astro turf a few times in the past. My question is – since this is a private yard – should we mind our business about the dog crap or because it is visible and on a corner we should expect the yard to be cleaned up?

9 Year Old Girl Attacked by Neighbor’s Dog (Presa Canario) in Brookland

By Prince Of Petworth

dog_attack_brookland

From the Brookland listserv:

“Our 9-year-old daughter was attacked by a pit bull on the way home from tae kwon do just now. It came out of nowhere. And bit her face. My husband had to kick it away. There are two pit bulls roaming the neighborhood. Please keep your kids inside. (6:30 PM Wed)

An update: The dog was a presa canario, not a pit bull. Apologies for the misinformation, but it was dark and we thought it was a pit bull at first and wanted to get the information out as soon as possible so others could know to stay away from the dogs. The presa canario is also an aggressive breed, however, from what we understand. In any event, the dog was a neighbor’s and got out through an open gate. It has been put in a 10 day in-house quarantine. Our daughter was checked out at the hospital and will be okay. Thanks for your concern.”

and in a heartbreaking update from the father of the little girl:

“Ironically, earlier today I promised my daughter that I would post something on the list tonight regarding her business, PUPPY LOVE. She loves dogs (mom’s allergic so we don’t have any) and makes gourmet dog treats from scratch that she sells to the dog owners in the neighborhood. I hope this incident doesn’t discourage her from pursuing her business or her love of dogs.”
