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.

Circie is even more beautiful in person than in her pictures! Circie LOVES to play fetch and is amazing at it! Her energy level so far has been medium. She likes to run and fetch but most of the time is happy relaxing next to her foster or following her people around the house.

Circie does not jump when excited, although she does give a very warm greeting with tail wags and smiles! Circie gets along with other dogs. She hasn’t shown interest in chewing things that aren’t hers. She sleeps in a crate at night and doesn’t make a peep. Circie is a sweetie and a pleasure to have around!

To learn more about Circie, visit Lucky Dog Animal Rescue.

Hi! Do you have a warm home with lots of snuggles and petting to be had? Or maybe a couple kitty treats with a nice spot in the spot? Any of that sounds good to me! I’m a mature gal who doesn’t need to be taught silly kitty behaviors, but I can still get down for playtime when it’s right! Aren’t I just the best of both worlds?

“Dear PoPville,

This is language from a lease agreement, it seems to give them A LOT of control over my personal information. It has been a while since I lived in a big corporate-style apartment building (I’ve lived in shared houses for a while) and I don’t remember seeing language like this in the past. Is this normal now?

The Department of Public Works will continue to collect holiday trees and greenery until January 31 for composting.

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

It seems like the city’s phone-based system for having Christmas trees collected and composted is a bit overwhelmed. I think it’s curious that the city rolled out its 311 app but doesn’t have a way for residents to use it to have their trees picked up.”

From DPW:

“The Department of Public Works will continue to collect holiday trees and greenery until January 31, 2020.

Residents can dispose of their trees and greenery in three ways: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

A somewhat related follow-up to the Cobb/Caesar inquiries: where in DC is the best basic club sandwich? I frequently get the craving for a good, no frills club sandwich, and haven’t found one better than GW Deli in Foggy Bottom (2133 G St NW). I’m talking plain white bread, a little too much mayo, an obscene amount of bacon, turkey, lettuce, tomato. Perfection.

Any competitors around the district?”
