“Cat attacked my Dog”

By Prince Of Petworth

Ed. Note: PoPville turns 19 years old this coming Wednesday and I am always stunned when I can still utter “well this is a first”, well, this is a first…

“Dear PoPville,

I don’t know what other recourse I have, so I’m hoping to warn fellow Dupont dog neighbors. I was walking my (very much leashed and well behaved) dog on Corcoran St, in between New Hampshire and 17th, when a white cat with grey/brown spots ran from its yard and starting attacking my dog. My dog didn’t fight back, she just started crying and trying to escape. I had to use my foot to remove the cat (I did not at all hurt the cat) but it continued to chase us about 30 feet down the block. The cat jumped on my dog at least 5 times. (more…)

From ABCA:

“Daylight Saving Time will end at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025. Clocks must “fall back” or be turned back by one (1) hour.

Any licensee that normally ends alcohol service at 2:00 a.m. will automatically be able to sell and serve alcohol until 3:00 a.m. Licensees do not need to take any action to remain open for one (1) additional hour to conduct business.”

“Keep your uncontrollable dogs on a leash. If you want your dog to run around, follow Washington, DC law and take it to the dog park.”

TLDR: “It is unlawful to allow your dog to be off leash in public areas with the exception of designated dog parks.”

“Dear PoPville,

I was walking my dog tonight (Wednesday, October 29) in Glover Park around 6:00pm. We walked through the clearing in Whitehaven Parkway (between T and W Streets NW), where there are frequently many people letting their dogs play off leash. Tonight there were perhaps a dozen people with their dogs around this hour. We have walked through there before and generally not had any issues. However, today, just as we were getting close to exiting the clearing towards W St, a woman was entering with her dog whom she immediately let off leash. This dog immediately ran up to my dog and started aggressively barking at him and chasing him. My dog started squealing and yelping, clearly absolutely terrified, and running around me trying to get away from this dog. The owner was calling after the dog but unable to stop or catch her, and the dog kept running after my dog, aggressively barking and chasing him. (more…)
