“Dear PoPville,
My neighbor’s dog was stolen from her yard Saturday at 4th and L St. NE. We are desperate trying to get the word out. All of our neighbors are coming together, doing whatever we can to get this puppy home. This has been reported it to the police and animal control. If anyone else has camera footage or information that may be helpful, please contact Kelly. Pictures of Lady, female pitbull, brown with white markings, un-spayed, not microchipped (above.)

Regarding the delays: Earlier Metro Transit Police reported:
“Rockville: MTPD and @mcfrs o/s for trespasser struck by train. Incident did NOT occur at station & was result of individual climbing fence. (There are *no* pedestrian crossings anywhere on Metro.) Rescue operations are underway.”
From WMATA:
“Rockville: All clear, trains have resumed normal 2-track operations. Remember, Rush Hour Promise even covers delays outside Metro’s control like this one. If delayed 10+ min, you’ll get $ back if SmarTrip is registered. You can register before midnight for today’s delays.”
“Dear PoPville,
My dog (Fern) was attacked by a very large Husky/Malamut named “Romeo” in Glover Park on Saturday.
Romeo, apparently, has attacked multiple dogs at dog parks in Glover Park and Palisades. I found this out at the Vet where Fern is getting stitched up and has a skull crack/fracture. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m a dog owner living in southern Shaw. My dog is a rescue and has fear aggression around other dogs, which we’ve tried to work on, but our vet has told us she likely always will be fearful and aggressive around other dogs. We have the proper harness and leash length to keep her and other dogs safe.
At times we encounter off-leash dogs. While I can’t for the life of me understand why they wouldn’t just take their dog to the Shaw dog park a few blocks away, usually owners are respectful and leash/pick up their dogs when we politely ask, with little to no fuss.
We regularly (1-2 times a month) encounter a group of adults walking a few dogs in our neighborhood who always walk one dog off-leash, while the others are leashed. (more…)
