“Dear PoPville,
Could you give some visibility to this petition to build a dog park for Wards 7 & 8!
There are currently 16 dog parks in the District, but none have been built in these wards despite continued requests from residents.
A DC Redditor recently posted giving some background on this very sad situation.”
More info from DPR here.

“Dear PoPville,
We were just at the Columbia Heights dog park (Sunday) and, soon after we arrived, a larger pounced on our terrier, Peanut, and they got into a little scuffle (fortunately he’s okay, just a little nick on his nose!). Talk about terrifying, though, and, once we managed to get the two dogs apart, we just kind of stood there stupefied. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if there were people in DC who have fenced in backyards that either are out of town or would be willing to allow nervous pups who cannot go to the dog parks to run free from now and then? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone have any up-to-date vet recommendations for new clients? We just got a new puppy and none of the vets near us (H St) are taking new clients. It is very frustrating as he is due soon for his third set of shots and we don’t want him to go a month or more without them, which is shaping up to be the situation in our area. I am sure we are not the only ones in this boat.”
“Dear PoPville,
MISSING SPHYNX CAT: My neighbor’s cat (Finnegan) went missing on Saturday 5/8 – The security camera shows he snuck out of the front door at 15th and A, NE at around 1 PM. Please keep your eyes peeled! He’s pink, hairless, 11-years old & not made for cold weather! Please call 2O2-329-6289 if you see him!”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to send an update to this story you posted about a woman in Navy Yard yelling at dog owners about them not feeding their dogs enough. I had an encounter with this same lady in Dupont Circle today (Tuesday). She held up traffic to slow down and yell out her car windows at me that my dog was “acting that way” (barking at a squirrel, ha) because I underfeed my dog. (more…)
