But you have to admit this is a pretty good one.

But they are too good not to post. Thank God scoop and poop rhyme or I don’t how they’d word these signs. The halo over the dog makes this sign the best in my opinion. I dare say, it makes the sign outstanding.

Obviously a very sad situation when someone loses their pet but I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw the drawing of the cat in place of a photo. I certainly hope LJ is found soon.

Against all odds the Brightwood Bird has won a stunning upset. We have seen some unbelievably cool cats and dogs but this bird has a certain je ne sais quoi. So congratulations Bird. And to the owners, you have won a PoP t-shirt. Cheers.

Damn, that’s a cool cat. This is a much tougher competition than I anticipated. Winner to be announced on Friday. More entries after the jump. (more…)

It is my pleasure to introduce a new feature here on Prince of Petworth. Intangible Tales will be a monthly column penned by one of my favorite DC bloggers, Intangible Arts. Above you can see Intangible Arts with his pup. Without any further ado, read on for part one of Intangible Tales.
PUP WITH PEOPLE
DC is dogtown, make no mistake. Or at least, the neighborhoods I frequent have a thriving dog population, from Logan Circle (work) to Columbia Heights/Park View (home): there’s always someone strolling with a dog. Or being dragged by one.
And to me, it makes a neighborhood more inviting. Dogs are beasts who thrive on pure joy. Once a neighborhood gains a healthy population of well cared-for canines, the vibe extends far beyond the owners: It strengthens the community in meaningful ways.
I lived in Columbia Heights years ago, during a time that many remember with shudders and the sound of frequent gunfire in the streets at night. I was renting a share of a rowhouse basement and couldn’t afford a meal more exotic than ramen noodles and coffee, so a dog was out of the question.
Eventually, I got an offer to move in with a friend in upstate New York and possibly break into publishing, and took it. But I missed my spot on Monroe Street, by the rotten shell of the Tivoli Theater. I figured, I’ll go to NY, find a career, and come back to BUY one of those victorian rowhouses, get my dog, and be a freakin’ hero. That was 1990. (Story continues after the jump.) (more…)

I think we have a winner…ok a winner hasn’t been chosen yet but this one is going to be tough to beat. Check out many more submissions after the jump. (more…)

This is going to be an extremely tight competition…
See many more submissions after the jump. (more…)

Please do not toilet your dog here? Toilet your dog…what is that a German expression? I guess it does have a nice ring to it. I still way prefer this sign.

And Columbia Heights, U Street, and all the other neighborhoods on the green/yellow line. So someone suggested I have a new contest. This one won’t win you a Wilco ticket but you’ll get bragging rights. Email me photos of your dogs, cats, fish, cows or any other pets you think can win the crown of coolest in town. This first entry is of Baker submitted from Columbia Heights.
