Yesterday at Dulles International Airport, a Custom and Border Protection’s drug-detecting pup sniffed out approximately 21 pounds of marijuana hidden within packages of chocolate. The drugs were on their way to NYC from Mexico City and had an estimated street value of $17,000.

How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?

While chewing on your socks and snatching that piece of ham off the counter top is bad behavior by your pooch, I don’t think it can get much worse than what happen to DC jewelry shop owners Robert Rosin and George Kaufmann.
According to the Associated Press, a diamond dealer stopped by [...]
New Lost Dog Café Opens in S. Arlington
As a big fan of Lost Dog Café, which has drawn crowds in Westover for years, I was thrilled to see a “now open” sign at its new location this weekend, across from the Arlington Cinema ‘n’ Drafthouse.
Like the original, this one has a menu with scores of specialty pizzas, 50-odd sandwiches, and more beers [...]
Finally–welcome, Bo!
I’m actually really pleased at the way the White House has handled the arrival of the new pup–the post on their blog was understated (“In case anybody was wondering…”) but they must have known that Puppywatch 2009 had been going on since Nov. 2 and people are understandably excited. There was even a minor controversy [...]

Thirteen (13!) Pounds of Dog Poo in Petworth
Up in Petworth, we do love our pets – its in our name. But it seems that quite a few Petworthians don’t like being responsible with their dogs. Specifically their dog’s poop. Out in Grant Circle, a prime dog walking spot, I noticed that winter brought on irresponsibility towards scooping the poop. [...]
More »Petworth People: Scoop Your Poop!
I just picked up seven pounds of frozen dog feces in Grant Circle and I’m disgusted. Not (yet) with the stench of all that crap when the spring thaw happens, but with the laziness of my neighbourhood’s dog owners.
How hard is it to pick up your pooch’s poop?
You already have too many plastic shopping [...]
Help! DC Dog Whisperers Needed
In May we adopted Taxi from the Washington Animal Rescue League, where she’d languished for three months after her previous owner returned her (1).
Usually she is a very happy dog. She loves to run at the now-closed Clark School and she even loves Dog Beach, but she hates to be alone. When we [...]
