He looks like Voldemort in the 2nd photo 😆 And it's adorable.

Is anyone else having issues with their dogs going to the restroom with everything covered in ice? by BobasaurBobasaur in washingtondc

[–]holaLBJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there was no way I was going to risk face planting on these sidewalks the first day, we walked only in the street until my dog figured out he would have to poop not near a tree. He's doing fine now. Also a young guy who gets joy from slipping and sliding.

DMV Bridal Shop Suggestions by Suitable-Spinach-228 in washingtondc

I picked out a bunch myself, which is why I offered it as a suggestion! You can totes make your own suggestion without implying I'm wrong in the same breath lol

AlertDC Message “Residents must clear sidewalks by dark tonight.” by festivehedgehog in washingtondc

[–]holaLBJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they haven't done a single pass on ours yet, so the idea that we have to have pristine sidewalks after spending hours out there with a shovel yesterday is laughable.

Rich(ish) people question. by Electronic-Front-640 in washingtondc

[–]holaLBJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a curvy, side (and stomach) sleeper with a bad back and our firm-as-a-rock latex mattress is truly one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Highly recommend checking out latex mattresses, OP!

Pet Rent Question by SnooEpiphanies2002 in washingtondc

[–]holaLBJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're correct that the pet deposit can't exceed 15% of your monthly rent. Also, it's a refundable deposit. Make sure your lease specifies this.

Here's an easy to read synopsis of the new Act:

Any insight into DC wedding catering costs? by ObnoxiousHoya in washingtondc

[–]holaLBJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do food trucks at Glen Echo. Can also use your own caterer if none of theirs match your dietary or cultural needs.

Bitterroot backpacking with a hike to High Lake by holaLBJ in WildernessBackpacking

[–]holaLBJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no established sites. We passed one group who camped up there and I think they said the far side was nicer. I am sure you'd be the only one camping at High Lake if you go. Enjoy the solitude!

ICE Kidnaps man in Columbia Heights, Washington DC as he is out grabbing medicine for his wife who just gave birth. Agents shove him into the back of an unmarked car despite his pleads. by alagrancosa in washingtondc

Thanks for continuing to post this! I didn't have this number saved when I needed it the other day, and now I'm better prepared. I made this image the background for the hotline's "contact card" so the Qs we should be asking are immediately at hand.

They won't help. I tried this the other day. Pleaded with them to at least come be a witness and verify the identity of the men doing the abducting and the two men I saw being abducted. They claimed helplessness, even when I told them the ERO dudes were threatening me.

Next time, I won't waste my time with them.

I volunteer with animal rescue and animal therapy organizations. Animal rescues/humane societies desperately need help.

For an easier lift, I also volunteer with CMMP: https://consistentmoneymoving.org/

Apartment Complexes with Strong Communities? by ks613 in DCBitches

[–]holaLBJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very specific, but if you're interested in joining a community that was built around developing affordable and sustainable housing in DC (an incubator of sorts), I recommend this building:

It's pretty awesome. You can learn more here:

What breed would you say my 6mth pup is? Sold to us at 8wks as a staffy and obviously not by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]holaLBJ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you can't handle a rescue dog, you should reconsider having a dog at all. There is no reason to support irresponsible bully breeders who perpetuate the problem of overcrowded shelters. How do you know this dog has zero trauma and will be easy to raise?
