Ed. Note: This may very well be the same corgi as seen earlier this week. And yes, metro said this was legal.
“Dear PoPville,
Today (9/5) two guys were walking their dogs and letting them defacate on the property of the Howard University Divinity School directly behind the no trespassing no walking dogs sign. And when I told one of them that the sign indicates dogwalking isn’t permitted, he smiled and replied “oh, we just ignore it.” (more…)

So, what’s the scenario?

From DPR’s Doggie Day Swim:
“Saturday, September 7th at 12pm
THREE LOCATIONS!
Upshur Pool, Randall Pool & Francis Pool
With the end of the outdoor swimming season, this annual event provides dogs with a one-day opportunity to jump in the pools, enjoy a swim and play fun aquatics games.
Admission is free, however all dogs must have a valid and original DC Department of Health (DOH) issued dog license (no photo copies) and tag to enter the pool. (more…)
Joining the annals of awesome animals hitching rides comes an instant classic. And a corgi no less.
Thanks to Lex for sharing this awesomeness:
“Saw this woman on a bike, with a corgi, in a backpack (!!) near the Georgia Ave metro this morning. I don’t know who she is, but she and her doggo are clearly doing things right. Definitely put a smile on my face first thing in the morning!” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am reaching out because a friend had her dogs stolen over the weekend during a domestic violence incident. The dogs were taken from the home and according to the police were dumped “somewhere” in NW DC. We hope the public can help locate the pit bulls before something terrible can happen. The dogs are a couple, and the female had puppies a few weeks ago, and they still need their momma. (more…)
Thanks to Allison for sending from Capitol Hill.
At least they haven’t busted out the security camera, yet…
“Dear PoPville,
I’m curious if you’ve posted previously on seeking recommendations for any great dog training services in DC, with preference to any they do at home training. I am currently fostering to adopt dog #2 and he’s a bit unruly and destructive. And I’d like to nip that in the bud before dog #1 gets any ideas.”
“Dear PoPville,
This sign spotted in Adams Morgan. I guess some find it rude to dump bagged dog poo in a person’s trash can, but I’d say it’s not stellar neighborly behavior to post security camera footage of your neighbors either!”
