Found dog in Mount Rainier, now at Washington Humane

A young (6-8 months?) dog was found wandering Mount Rainier and was taken to Washington Humane on NY Ave. She has been wandering the streets near the border of DC and Mt. R since at least Wednesday. Today, she had a lawnmower cord attached to her collar, so someone had tried to tie her off in their yards.

She looks to be a yellow lab mix, with possible some sort of terrier in her. She is wearing a pink collar with white polkadots. She is very sweet and appears to have been pretty well taken care of, except perhaps a bit skinny. She is a great dog and very gentle. No training that we could tell, but behaved well in the car.

The finders couln't keep her, but she would make someone a great dog. If you want a nice dog that needs a bit of training, you should swing by NY Ave and pick her up . . .

Backyard Hen Campaign

Check out the PG backyard hen campaign.

You can sign the petition to allow chickens in PG online, or at the Cheverly Community Market on Satuday--more info over on ChvBlog. The text of the petition appears below.

Petition for Backyard Hens in Prince George's County

We believe that backyard chickens are wonderful pets that provide many benefits to their owners and to the community. We respectfully ask that the city pass a resolution in support of backyard chicken keeping, with the following conditions:

1. No roosters
2. Birds shall be kept within a secure enclosure and not allowed to run beyond owners' property boundaries
3. Enclosures shall be located no closer than 25 feet from nearest neighbor's residence
4. No more than 6 hens allowed per residence

Backyard hens bring joy to their owners, and also eat insects, produce healthy eggs, and provide excellent garden compost. When kept properly, like any other pet, they are clean and safe.

Signed,
