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.

Megot is a gentleman among kitties. He is a purrball who will do anything for a tummy rub. This big boy is quiet and a little shy, but once he opens up, he will be your new best friend. He spends most of his day sleeping among the blankets on the bed or out following his human around the house. He will always welcome a good tummy rub, but beware if you start, you’ll find yourself rubbing the tummy for much longer than anticipated! What more can we say? His purrs say it all! For more information about Megot, please email [email protected]

Nancy came to Lost Dog Rescue from Albany, Georgia and is now looking for her forever home! She is fairly mellow for a younger dog — happy to hang out, play with chew toys for hours, give lots of kisses and cuddle.

She does get a bit excited when greeting people, so we think she would do best in a home with older kids with some dog experience. Nancy is pretty easy to walk on a leash, has been crate-trained while in foster care and has good house manners. There is a cat in her foster home, but the two have only seen each other briefly in passing.

Nancy had recently had puppies and is nearing the end of her heartworm treatment, so she’s been mostly resting and recuperating during her foster home stay. But it just means that she is a great buddy for staying home and taking it easy. For more information about Nancy, email [email protected].

Dear PoPville

“Is this some type of fraud / identity theft going on? Advice?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Help us here… we received this attached, strange letter in our mailbox. A lot is off with it:

First, it’s someone asking permission to pick up someone else’s driver’s license.
Second, despite their claim of having talked with us, we have never spoken to this person, and we have been in this house for three years.
Third, why would it be sent to our address? (more…)

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to Maggie for sharing this crazy story:

“My partner lives in AdMo, and I live Glover Park, and use a visitor’s parking permit when the car is there. I usually have 0 issues, but for a period of several months in 2019 I received at least a dozen tickets on the same stretch of Calvert Street by I think the same officer. I was cited for several things, none of them accurate, including illegal spot, no permit, no visible registration sticker, etc. My car is registered, with plate and sticker, in the District. (more…)

“Problems with Pandemic Unemployment Assistance”

By Prince Of Petworth


Photo by Pablo Raw

“Dear PoPville,

After over a month of waiting from the time I submitted my Pandemic Unemployment Assistance claim I finally began receiving benefits. I was surprised that the amount I received was only $779 per week. That would be $600 coming from Federal Unemployment Compensation and only $179 coming from DC’s Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. Based on my pre-Covid income I was expecting to be getting DC’s maximum weekly benefit amount of $444. According to DC’s Pandemic Unemployment FAQ sheet, $179 is the minimum weekly benefit and $444 is the maximum. The FAQ sheet does state that PUA claims may be established at the minimum amount, but that amount may be increased after the submitted wage documentation has been reviewed. (See below)
