“PLEASE LEASH YOUR DOGS”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

TO THE WHITE PIT BULL OWNER IN BRIGHTWOOD (and dog owners generally):

PLEASE LEASH YOUR DOG, EVEN IF THEY ARE FRIENDLY (and don’t be a d**k!)

Saturday afternoon, I was hanging out at a neighborhood park in Brightwood, sitting on a picnic blanket with my (leashed) dog at reclining by my side. The park was mostly empty except for at one point when a man passed by walking his (leashed) German Shepherd. He and his dog stayed at a distance and were totally fine. But the next thing I know, as I’m about to go back to my sketchbook, my dog starts freaking out and screaming bloody murder at something behind me. When I turn around, I see a third dog, an unleashed white pit bull, charging towards us. (more…)

“a warning about a woman stealing dogs from outside businesses for neighbors in the NoMa and Capital Hill area.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Since, at least, the infamous case of Molly back in 2009 – it has been repeatedly urged that you do not leave your pets unattended.

Thanks to all who messaged me about this:

“Pet parents in the NoMa / H Street / Capital Hill area, please be aware that there is a woman stealing dogs from outside businesses.

She stole a dog on Saturday, May 21 from the Giant at H and 3rd NE, then attempted to take another dog from the Union Kitchen on F and 3rd NE on Monday, May 23, only hours after the first dog was taken back from her. (more…)

Meanwhile at the DMV

Thanks to Katie for sending: “Driver’s license system down. The dmv driver’s license system is down in all locations in DC. Been down since opening. They are saying no ETA on getting it fixed. Lots of people waiting.”

DC DMV reports: “Due to a technical issue, in-person and online transactions that require photo imaging are currently unavailable. Service to resolve this issue will be completed as soon as possible.”

“At around 3:45AM this morning, a man entered my house”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

At around 3:45AM this morning, a man entered my house on the 4700 block of Colorado Ave NW while my wife and I were home and took her purse off the kitchen counter. He came in through our patio door in back, which was not locked at the time.

By coincidence I happened to be awake and heard the door open, so I immediately ran after him but was too far behind to catch him. He ran down the alley, got onto a bike, and rode away. (more…)
