For pets In crisis, nearby Forestville Vetinary and Bird offers comfort and heart


There's nothing worse than having a sick animal friend or pet in your home, who is ill and cannot speak for itself. It's a helpless feeling, and you want to get your pet to someone, who can help them, as quickly and easily as you can.

For Capicostia, that doesn't mean popping over to Capitol Hill, Old Anacostia or Northwest D.C., where you know there'll be no parking. It probably means hauling your pets out to Maryland's P.G. County, where parking and lots of space for it is practically guaranteed.

That's how I found the Forestville Vetinary and Bird Hospital. It is located on Marboro Pike, right around the corner from the Penn Mar Shopping Center on Donnell Drive, in District Heights, Maryland, ..and it's got more than just convenient parking. FVBH is headed up by Ukraine-educated vetinarian and animal friend-spirit, Dr. Abdoul Diarra, and a caring staff of vetinary students, pet grooming and kennel professionals and vetinary technicians. Rest assured the well-trained staff will surround their patients with warmth, cooing and stroking, before Dr. Diarra's examination of your pets. Furthermore, I liked very much that the FVBH waiting room is spacious enough that keeping your pets out of entanglements with other animals will NOT be a problem.

For pet owners, FVBH is a real comfort in crisis.

I recently took the Poowes (featured above) to the Forestville Vetinary and Bird Hospital and got them all caught up on their shots. Thorough examinations of both Hubble Poowe (above, staring into the camera) and his scrappy brother, Kirby Poowe, and lots of helpful questions from Dr. Diarra, put all of my worries to rest. When your animal friend's in pain the way Hubble was, you don't have time to plan a trip to the vet - parking, traffic, long drive, crowded waiting rooms and long waits. Instead, you want to just go and sort it all out as best you can, later, and that was my experience with Forestville Vetinary and Bird.

I've no doubt, FVBH will be the same for you, and I highly recommend going.

DC MAYOR BOWSER PROMOTES $20M IN GRANTS TO PROP UP VACANT, OVERPRICED DOWNTOWN

From W-JLA Channel 7 News "...At a time when D.C.'s office vacancy rate has soared and many businesses have either left or are struggling – especially downtown...D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Acting Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert...emphasized that $19.6 million in grants are available...$3 million available in grants to help businesses that want to open or expand in commercial space that has been vacant for at least six months downtown..." A patron saint for Downtown Washington's bloat, gouging, sharky office space developers? (Shark-R Salas/M Bowser-AP/C Brehman/Photomanip-Capicostia) From the Capicostia Desk... 'Bail out' may be a more fitful accounting of Mayor Muriel Bowser's valiant campaign to revitalize a Downtown Washington, underwater with vacant, overpriced office buildings and retail spaces, not accruing valuable revenue for the DC Treasury - more fitful than 'prop up', I think. The loss of revenue, being ...

NEW YORK-BASED DEVELOPER AND PARTNERS TELL PENN BRANCH TO GET READY FOR GENTRIFICATION

  "... Jair Lynch  has set his sights on reviving the long-struggling Penn Branch Shopping Center in Southeast D.C., a site some nearby residents view as an important cog in the revitalization of the larger Pennsylvania Avenue retail corridor connecting downtown with the District’s East of the River communities...it could serve as a catalyst for a larger revitalization of the surrounding communities of Penn Branch, Hillcrest and Randle Highlands.... “We’re really trying to bring outside developers to the area to see if they have an interest in redeveloping or enhancing commercial properties in the corridor,” Robinson said. “We see ourselves as a mechanism, or in some cases even starting that conversation. There has to be somebody who takes these issues by the horns and has everybody sitting around the table to solve them.” Robinson, a planner for the town of Forest Heights in Prince George’s County, said an important factor will be getting buy-in from other Ward 7 residents.
