From the Cleveland Park listserve:
“We lost our terapin turtle Scratchy sometime last Thursday, June 20 from our home on 3400 block of Lowell before going away for weekend. She is about 10″ diameter with a green paint smudge on her shell. She does not bite, but will scratch when picked up.”
I don’t mean to be disrespectful but how do you lose a turtle?
If you’ve seen a 10 inch turtle with a green paint of smudge you can let the owner know here on the Cleveland Park listserve.
Dear PoPville,
On our way to the Mt. Pleasant farmers market yesterday, my fiancé and I came across a little dog wandering down Mount Pleasant St. towards Irving. No one knew who she belonged to and she didn’t have a collar. We picked her up and started to look for her owner. Eventually, we took her to the Mt. P farmers market and ended up leaving her at the manager table hoping that someone would come by looking for her. After being there most of the morning, the humane society came and picked her up. She is being held for two days and then she goes up for adoption. She’s such a sweet dog, and I hope she can be reunited with her owners.
Ha! Awesome. Thanks to a reader for sending from the San Diego airport.

Does anyone know of any meetups for dogs in DC — specifically for young, energetic dogs like our 2-year old lab mix? We go to the dog park in Columbia Heights, but it can be hit or miss there. He’d love to make some doggie friends who like to run and fetch and play tug as much as he does.
A reader writes:
“We found this dog wandering around Columbia Heights near Cardozo High School this morning. We contacted the Humane Society.”
If you recognize the dog please contact the humane society.
Dear PoPville,
Spotted this little guy on my walk to the metro this morning. He growled and ran every time I got too close, so I was unable to secure him. He was in an alley off Eckington Place NE between Q Street NE and Quincy Pl NE. He looks like a miniature pinscher. He has a collar and looks well fed but I couldn’t find his owners. I called Animal Control and they said they’d send someone. I called back to ask if they were able to find the dog and have yet to get an update. Figured it might help to get the word out just in case Animal Control couldn’t help. Thanks!!

We have tried three or four different places but only have found one groomer we really like and we can’t get in with them until July at this point! We want a place where we don’t have to drop the dog off and leave her there all day and who are kind to “scared of new people” dogs. Any recommendations?
Dear PoPville,
My neighbor isn’t sure if her dog Blue was stolen or got out of her front yard yesterday. We live on L Street NE between 17th street and Bladensburg. Blue is a 4 year old male Yorkie with one discolored eye. Any help would be much appreciated so this pup can find it’s way back home!!! Please e-mail damad87(at)aol.com or call Ms. Cookie, Blue’s owner at 202-652-1429 if you have any information.
Albert is a grey and black tabby with sandy ears. He’s not wearing a collar, is very friendly, and blind.
