“Dear PoPville,

I really want a dog, but at this current moment in my life I cannot commit to loving one full time. So I have decided to try and love your dog on a temporary basis.

If you want someone to take your dog on an occasional walk, or play with the lil’ guy while you engage in the rest of your life, well then I’m your guy. I’m happy to provide some references, and do what it takes to show you that I am a trustworthy fellow. If things work out, I would be willing to watch your dog for free when you need me to. I do have a 9-5 job, so I couldn’t help you out during the working week, but weekends and after work I would be available.

Let me know if you’re interested and I’d be happy to swing by for a meet and greet.

All the best,
Jeff”

At long last a new tenant for the former Du Froyo spot in north Dupont near La Tomate. Their website says:

“The Cheeky Puppy serves the unique needs of city-dwelling pet lovers and celebrates the love – and sense of community – that our four-legged family members bring to our modern, urban lives.

The Cheeky Puppy also believes that having four-legged family is a privilege and should not contribute to the degradation of our planet nor harm the two and four-legged friends with whom we share it. At its heart, The Cheeky Puppy is fun, yet functional, sophisticated, not snobby.

We celebrate our home in Washington, D.C. and the special place that pets have in our nation’s history. It really is true — if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Or a cat. The Cheeky Puppy is decidedly bipartisan in its politics and emphatically nonpartisan in the dogs versus cats debate.”

LOST: Black/White Husky named London:

“We lost our black/white husky/shepherd mix named London. He is about 50 pounds. He is a rescue and is probably more scared of you than anything. He escaped around 12:00pm today around Cleveland park metro. If you see him please call or text Jacki at 773-575-7190.

With tonight’s low temperatures, we greatly appreciate your help in finding him.”

UPDATE: Found!


found_cat

“This cat followed us home to Belmont Street NW between 13th and 14th. Does not look like a stray. Just seems lost. Can you post a pic and see if any owner comes forward? If not we will probably have to drop it off at Humane Society. Our dog does not love cats. Thanks.”

If this is your cat or know who’s it is, please email amckechnie77(at)gmail.com

Short Articles about Long Meetings shares the news:

“A committee of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 1B/U Street voted December 16 to endorse the request for zoning variances necessary for the establishment of a day-care service for dogs on the first floor of a mixed-use building at the corner of 14th Street and Florida Avenue NW. The recommendation of the Design Review Committee will now go to the full ANC for consideration at the next meeting in January.”

This is the same building where the Beta martial academy is located.


Design failure

“Dear PoPville,

The Newark Street Dog Park paid big bucks for a fountain like this one. What’s wrong, you ask? EVERY male dog pees on (and into) the doggy bowl at the bottom. I wonder what genius designed it? The purpose of my rant is not to condemn the good folks who wasted untold dollars on it. Everyone makes mistakes. But new dog parks are, thank goodness, being built. Maybe this would help others avoid making the same costly mistake. FYI, I have never seen a human drink from the top part.”

“Dear PoPville,

I found this dog this morning around 10AM near my house on Capitol Hill at 10th and D NE. A neighbor walking her dog found the dog running around the streets and we put her in my backyard for now so that she wouldn’t be running wild. She’s a small black Chihuahua looking mix.

Anyone with info can contact info(at)eidolonfilms.com”
