Animal Fix

Your Afternoon Animal Fix – AdoPtville

By Prince Of Petworth

If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by two volunteers who compile these pets weekly from local shelters.

Paddington were found as strays together and with their near identical markings, it’s clear they are not only best friends but brothers who would do best in a forever home where they could stay together. At 7 months, they are really coming into their personalities (and fully vaccinated/neutered). Shy at first, they need to check you out first to make sure you’re safe for their brother, but then they love all the affection. They love to snuggle with each other and you. Sometimes they seem to not be able to get close enough to me when sleeping. Pontoon is more of an adventurer and likes to lounge out in the open while Paddington loves soft and enclosed spaces. When he wants his belly rubbed (which is often) Paddington will roll over on his belly in the most adorable way. They aren’t overly hyper as they have each other to play with and are very quiet even when playing. They are just beginning to find their voices a little at meal time — a habit learned from their older foster siblings. Favorite activities are napping, window watching, and playing chase with each other, their foster brother, or ball toys. Could you give these two their forever home? For more information visit Lucky Dog Animal Rescue or email [email protected].

Meet beautiful Bella, a 3 year old pointer/labrador retriever mix who currently is living with a foster in Logan Circle. She is 60 pounds but she still thinks of herself as a lap dog.

She truly is one of the sweetest dogs her foster has ever met. Playful, affectionate and well behaved. She does have some quirks and special needs, like many rescue pups. Bella gets scared and nervous out on walks, so she will need an adopter who is willing to work with her to build up her confidence as she navigates the world. The work will be worth it!

In the right home with plenty of exercise, Bella is a calm girl who loves to snuggle. She can live in the city with someone who is willing and able to work with her on leash reactivity, but she would also do very well in a more suburban or rural area.

“both the bike lane markings and protective poles are gone between the Capitol and the White House”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Biked from the Hill to Penn Quarter on Tuesday night about 11pm and thought it was odd I couldn’t see the bike lanes in the dark.

And then walked along Penn by the Navy Memorial and the Archives (Penn and 7th NW) yesterday and realized both the lane markings and protective poles are gone between the Capitol and the White House.

Why are they gone?”

“Would anyone know what, if anything, can be done or said about this? Or am I just being a Karen?”

By Prince Of Petworth


3830 Georgia Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve been up twice this week between the hours of 3am and 4:30am because of a delivery truck for Safeway on Georgia Ave in Petworth (loud banging, automatic lift noise, beeping of the lift, the engine rumble the entire time of the large truck). I have to be up for work at 5:15am and I live in an apartment above the Safeway. Shouldn’t these delivery trucks be going to a loading dock? (more…)

Dear PoPville

Update: Reunited!!

By Prince Of Petworth


2120 Vermont Ave, NW

“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…)
