A reader passes on from her friend:
“Friends please help. Junie went running off tonight while she was running with me and we can’t find her. She is tan and brindle and about 20 lbs. She was last seen around North Capitol St and P St NW. She is scared of city things and loud noises. This is my fault and I am devastated. Please share if you can.”
From an email:
“UPDATE: 10/17 Frank is still missing. We have extended our search to around Benning Road NE and down Bladensburg Road NE and we have posted large laminated posters in the areas.
We have received several sightings within a 2-3 mile area of NE and SE, but have not been able to locate Frank. I appreciate everyone keeping a look out as we continue to search daily for my sweet little guy. (more…)
From an email:
“As summer turns to fall, the community served by Shaw Dog Park at 11th & R Streets NW, will paws to reflect and celebrate our 10th Anniversary! In celebration of this important milestone, DC’s first official dog park, the Shaw Dog Park Association is holding its 4th annual Howl-O-Ween party with a costume contest and raffle. It is a free event for park users and their pups at the Park on Saturday, October 27 November 3rd, 2018 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM.”
Lily reports:
“Spotted on public sidewalk in DC. Never seen a can’t walk dog sign before, even for private property. It’s near the housing administration building on M & N Capitol. But it’s not posted ON any property.”
I’ve never seen a sign like this either. It looks like a city sign though. Anyone ever see a sign like this before? Anyway, doesn’t seem like it can be enforced but still odd.
A reader reports:
“At around 9:30 AM my husband and I spotted a beautifully colored, exotic-looking bird on the fence surrounding the Turkey Thicket recreation center track in Brookland, NE DC. Looks like it was someone’s escaped pet bird. Near the intersection of Quincy and Michigan NE. We called animal control but the bird flew away before animal control arrived.”
“This morning this little guy found me and my dog I think between 7th and 8th Streets on Longfellow NW and followed us all the way to the farmers market and back. He seems healthy but he doesn’t have a collar and he has not been neutered.
We plan to take him by Humane Rescue Alliance on Oglethorpe to see if he’s chipped or there have been inquiries.”
If you recognize this guy contact [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
“Bully mix found at 38th and Garfield NW last night. Animal control brought her to Humane Rescue. She’s super sweet and friendly. Most likely under a year old. I called Humane Rescue this morning and they said she wasn’t chipped.”
“On Saturday our cat Newt escaped our home in brightwood park, we’ve been looking for him tirelessly but would appreciate your help in spreading the word. Here is our Craigslist post. (more…)
