“Dear PoPville,

Long story short, my cat of 13 years passed away from cancer a few weeks ago. The animal hospital did everything they could which I appreciated (but it was still kind of a weird experience– since due to Covid– they have an outdoor tent in a parking garage where you say goodbye, and then the medical team comes and goes so you can have your privacy and also continue to be socially distant.) In the middle of this emotional/chaotic experience, they asked what I would like to do regarding remains; and I opted to do a paw print impression thing– they said they would take care of everything for me which was great as I was in no place to shift my focus in that moment.

Cut to last Friday afternoon, I get a UPS tracking email saying a package (the paw print/memorial) is in route, and expected to deliver on Saturday 10/31. However, I see it’s going to my OLD ADDRESS. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

My name is Andy and I wanted you to help me spread the word out about my stolen dog. On October 9, 2020 my car was stolen in front of my partner house (900 Block of Euclid Street, NW). I step out the car to let my partner know we had to go and in that minute someone had took my car and my dog Bruno was in there. The next day my car was recover in Suitland, Maryland but Bruno was not there. (more…)

Well this is awesome. Got this email from the Humane Rescue Alliance yesterday:

“We saw your missed connections post about the dog, Nick, and we tracked down the adopters.”

Now, because it took me three times to pass blogging school – it will not be a surprise that I messed up. I deleted the original email and need OP to email me again so I can connect you with the adopters!!

In the meantime check out this update from the adopters – and thanks again to the Humane Rescue Alliance for making the connection: (more…)
