“Neighbor walking Two Great Danes off leash on DC streets”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I live in Shaw, and there is a dog owner in the neighborhood with two big Great Danes – one has a black and white coat, and the other is all black. I have seen him walking both dogs off leash in residential sidewalks. Sometimes he has one dog on leash, and the other off leash. One of the dogs is not neutered (probably because he is not yet old enough), and sometimes that dog is the one off leash. Other neighbors have also noticed this guy with his two Great Danes, sometimes off leash. (more…)

“I’ve noticed more missing cats signs posted on lampposts lately.”

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve noticed more “missing cats” signs posted on lampposts lately. I might suggest that DC newbies and students be aware that Rock Creek Park is very intertwined with our neighborhoods, and when you notice those cute bunnies in the early mornings and evenings in your blocks, there are also those beautiful foxes seeking them out … as well as for your cats. Beware, bring in your pets at night.”

“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to reach out to spread the awareness about an unwell man in Navy Yard. As quick background, our dog was born with a medical condition and walks with a bad limp. We have been treating it since he was a puppy but there is nothing we can do until he is older. He’s given pain medicine (as needed) and is well taken care of and frequently sees the vet.

Last week, a man with blue hair approached my girlfriend while she was walking our dog and continuously commented on our dog’s leg. She asked him to leave her alone and was able to walk away.

This morning around 7:20 am, the man approached her again. He was screaming at her, followed her, kept trying to get close to her, and at one point even laid in the street. (more…)
