Pets

“Dear PoPville,

Our Russian tortoise, Piotr ( named after Peter the Great) has gone walkabout. Last seen a week ago at 32nd and Klingle Road, perhaps heading for Rock Creek Park. He has lived with us for 27 happy years; we and our neighbors, local schools, as well as everyone we see walking, jogging, or dog walking we can corral has been asked to be on the look out.”

Ed. Note: Please send any sightings/tips to me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. Thanks!
