Ed. Note: In fairness the news broke about a half hour ago but my power is out and then my hot spot died on me so I huffed to the DCPL. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, thank God for the public library!!

Last year’s peak bloom was March 17th.

From the National Park Service:

“You heard it here first! We’re predicting Cherry Blossom Peak Bloom to fall between March 28-31 this year. (more…)


Update: Another reader writes, “Just an FYI if anyone experiences this they should call Humane Rescue Alliance at (202) 723-5730 to report.”

“Dear PoPville,

On Sunday 2/23, I was in the fenced dog park with my dog when a man started to yell at me from the sidewalk. My dog went to bark at him since he was yelling. (more…)


Thanks to Sarah and everyone else who passed on the kind offer from Friendship Hospital for Animals:

“To our federal government employee/contractor community:

We understand more than most that accidents and emergencies have a way of happening at the worst possible time.

For federal government employees/contractors who have lost their jobs during the downsizing of the federal government workforce, starting tomorrow we are waiving our emergency exam fee, non-routine primary care exam fee (sick visit), and offering extended payment options on all services.

As always, if you think your pet is having a medical emergency, take him or her to the nearest emergency facility. If you are unsure whether or not your pet needs to be seen, please give us a call at 202-363-7300. We are available 24-hours a day to help assist you in your decision.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Friendship Hospital for Animals”
