This week’s Reston Pet of the Week is Autumn, a 1-year-old Doberman Pinscher who needs a forever home. Here is what her people at DARE: Doberman Assistance, Rescue and Education have to say about her:

Meet our pretty little red girl, Autumn. She is a super smart, cuddly and playful 1- year-old red/rust female Doberman.

Autumn has perky natural ears, a docked tail and currently weighs about 50 lbs. She will fill out a bit more as she matures, but will be a petite girl that is just the perfect size for cuddling on the sofa with you on these cool fall evenings.

Autumn loves balls and collects as many as she can. She enjoys running around the yard and will occasionally let you have one to throw for her. Autumn would like to have a home with a fenced yard so she can run around freely or to lay next to her human sunning herself.

Autumn is good with children and will be fine in a home with dog-savvy children. She is fine meeting other dogs but wants to be the only dog living in her home so she can be the dober-princess.

Autumn rides well in a car and is house trained. She can be crated but we baby gate her in the kitchen when we are not home and she is fine with that. Autumn thinks cats are fun to chase so no kitties for Autumn. If you are looking for a fun, affectionate, smart companion Autumn may be the girl for you! I

Heron House, the original Reston condos built in 1966, are still among the most beautiful condominiums in Reston. Sure, I may be biased because I live in Heron House, but I’ve heard other people say this too.

Heron House — a 15-story tower with 66 condominiums, all with concrete balconies — is Reston’s original high-rise. It is situated on the edge of Lake Anne at the south end of Washington Plaza (which residents simply call Lake Anne).

The condos have one- and two-bedroom units with commanding views of the lake and Reston. Sitting on the balcony sipping a glass of wine and looking at the fountain in the lake is one of my favorite things to do.

The contemporary condos are well designed to maximize every inch of space — even the smaller one-bedroom units feel spacious. Perhaps it is the view, or perhaps it is the well-thought-out floor plans. Whatever the magic combination, it works.

Heron House has stood the test of time. The design is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. And most of the units have been upgraded with new kitchens and baths.

If you live at Heron House, you never really have to leave the neighborhood. Lake Anne boasts several great restaurants, the farmers market, and festivals year round. It’s a wonderful place to live!

It’s also only a one-mile walk (or a quick drive) along gorgeous trails to Reston Town Center, and it’s close to the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station and Dulles Toll Road. What’s not to love?

As cat lovers, our care and concern for felines is rarely limited to the ones who share our houses. When we find stray kitties roaming the neighborhood, we often want to do something to ensure that those cats are fed, receive proper medical care and don’t end up at a shelter.

Unfortunately, this is not always easy or straightforward. Dealing responsibly with these cats takes compassion, but it also requires commitment and good judgment. In this article, we’ll discuss what to do with potential stray cats in your neighborhood.

Determine whether the cat has an owner

Though it might be natural to assume that cats roaming the streets are homeless, many are simply outdoor kitties living nearby or felines from other neighborhoods who have gotten lost. If you find a cat like this, the hope is that you’ll be able to reunite them with their owner. Here are some tips to help establish if the kitty has an owner already:

• Look for a collar. This is probably the most obvious sign that a kitty has a home.
• Scan for a microchip. A less visible but equally definitive way to identify an unknown feline is to have vet check for a microchip. If the cat has one, the chip should give you the information you need to track down its owners.
• Check the cat’s appearance/condition. Cats that live indoors with humans tend to look groomed and better fed than some of their fellow outdoor felines. While this is not always the case, it can be an easy visual to help you establish whether you are dealing with an outdoor cat or an indoor cat that’s lost. It is important to note, however, that lost cats will sometimes actually appear more disheveled, as they might respond to the increased stress by not grooming.
• Note the cat’s demeanor/behavior. Cats with owners are generally much friendlier and more comfortable around people. They might even try to come into your house to get out of the elements. Again though it’s important to note this is not always the case. Some very friendly indoor cats could be scared or stressed and may not react the same way to strangers.
• See if the cat has been spayed or neutered. Though not all “fixed” cats have a home, spaying or neutering does indicate that the kitty has had previous contact with people. It can also give you a better idea of how far the feline is from its usual residence. Females and neutered males rarely roam too far outside their neighborhood, while intact male cats tend to travel a lot more.
• Ask around the neighborhood. If the cat has a family, its parents will probably be looking for it. Checking with your neighbors might help you connect with the family very quickly.
• Check with local shelters and veterinary clinics. Posting signs in places where cat people congregate is another good way to search for owners of lost felines.

Get the cat spayed/neutered

If you determine that the kitty does not have a home, the next step is to get it spayed or neutered. This is extremely important, regardless of what you decide to do with the cat in the long term.

Free-roaming felines are responsible for the majority of kittens born in the U.S. every year, and many of the millions of euthanasias performed at shelters around the country could have been prevented by sterilization. Neutering male cats also curbs aggressive behavior and reduces injuries and deaths caused by fights with other cats.

The approaches to sterilizing stray cats (felines that have been lost or abandoned) and feral cats (the offspring of stray or other feral cats) are a bit different. Because the former are used to being around people, they are usually easier to get to the vet. The latter, however, are generally not comfortable around humans, so humane trapping mechanisms are necessary to get them to a vet or shelter for sterilization. Read More

Reston Now seeks to improve our community by bringing readers up-to-date news that’s relevant to their lives and localities; by giving local businesses more affordable and effective marketing options; and by reducing the need to cut down trees and burn fossil fuels for the production and distribution of newsprint.

We also want lively discussion on issues important to the community. The majority of our commenters are adding to intelligent discourse and conversation. However, it has come to our attention that several people are repeatedly misusing the comments section in an offensive manner.

Reston Now has both a terms of service to follow as well as as personal standard. A handful of repeat violators have had their IP addresses blocked.

We ask that users keep the conversation civil and on-topic. Our approach to comment moderation is that of a hockey ref — we try to “let them play” but also actively try to prevent fights and serious misconduct. We reserve the right to edit or remove any comments or message board posts with or without warning for any reason.

We also have filters that flag certain words before they even get to the site. Sometimes those comments will get approved; sometimes not. In any case, if your comment contains a flagged word, it might not be approved for an hour or two (or until the editor can get to the file). Be patient before you start posting about censorship. And if it does indeed get killed, that’s not “censorship,” as some readers claim. This is a business and we have rules.

Here is a reminder of our rules. If you have been following them, thanks in advance. If you repeatedly post things in violation, know that it won’t get on the site — and you will likely be banned.

The “golden rule” applies. Any posts or comments that contain the following are likely to be removed:

• Hate speech, racism or discriminatory remarks
• Strong personal attacks against forum users
• Threats of violence
• Off-topic diatribes
• Negative remarks directed at victims of tragic events
• Especially profane or vulgar language
• Unsubstantiated, specific allegations of criminal wrongdoing directed at an individual or company that has not, in fact, been charged with a crime
• Unsubstantiated allegations of corruption or conspiracies
• Personally identifying information, such as phone numbers, home addresses or the full names of private individuals
• Attacks on children
• Topics not directly relevant to the local area and region. National political discussions without a strong local angle will be considered off-topic.
• Business reviews. Please use Yelp if you want to review a local business.

• Strongly negative comments about the personal appearance of individuals
• Misleading claims about a comment’s authorship
• Comments about illegal immigration or abortion in articles or forum posts that contain no reference to immigration or illegal immigrants or abortion

Note that comments may be pre-moderated. We will not disclose the methodology for this. Continued efforts to deliberately thwart pre-moderation will result in a ban from commenting.

The holidays are a strange time of year in real estate. Conventional wisdom says it is slow — and yes, it is slower but it never stops.

We have 111 pending sales and 61 properties sold in the past 30 days. What remains stubbornly high is the days on market — which is hovering at 75+; that’s a very long time to have your house ready to show at a moment’s notice.

Here are a few of the recent sales.

I love fall in Reston. Here in the south, our colors peak in late October/November. This year in mid-November they’re still beautiful. I love walking the paths of Reston when the leaves blanket the ground. The air is extra crisp, and my dog loves all the smells.

It can be hard to capture the beauty of Reston in a photograph or two — especially South Reston with Lake Thoreau, Lake Audubon and the Glade. But you can capture it in a flyover video. On a whim, I decided to search on YouTube to see if any such videos existed…and I had success!

YouTuber pblacklock posted this video that captures the South Lakes area, especially around Lake Thoreau, which is where he launched the camera. Pblacklock has posted several flyover videos in different cities and towns, and I have to admit I got caught up in watching them.

Here are two — one is above Lake Thoreau, and this one is above the Reston National Golf Course.

One bit of advice before you hit play–mute your speaker. The only sound is the propeller of the remote control airplane, but it’s loud. I found I enjoyed the video much more with the sound off.

Thanks to their distinctively adorable appearance and friendly temperament, Ragdoll cats have become a sought-after breed. Known for going limp or turning into a “ragdoll” when picked up, Ragdolls are big, affectionate and cuddly sweethearts. It’s no wonder they are such a fan favorite!

What do Ragdolls look like?

With their long, luxurious fur and distinctive coloring, Ragdolls are beautiful cats. Known as a “pointed” breed, Ragdolls are lighter in color on their bodies than their faces, legs, tails and ears (the areas known as the points). Probably the best known pointed breed is the Siamese, and indeed, Ragdolls look somewhat similar. Just like the Siamese, Ragdolls also usually have blue eyes even as adults.

Though all purebred Ragdolls are considered pointed, there is some variation in the color and pattern of their coats. Generally speaking, Ragdoll coats come in four distinct patterns. They can be bi-color, where the torso is white and the “mask” on the face has a notable “V” shape; mitted, where white fur on the paws makes the cat appear to be wearing mittens; and color point, with no white fur anywhere on the body. Most cats of this breed get full color definition in their coats by the age of two.

Ragdolls have moderately long fur with little undercoat, which means that their coats are less likely to mat or shed. Nonetheless, their fur should be combed with a steel comb on a regular basis to remove any lose hairs or tangles.

As was mentioned above, Ragdolls are also generally very large. Adult males will tip the scales at approximately 15-20 pounds at full maturity, while females will weigh between 10-15 pounds. It takes a while for Ragdolls to reach these sizes, though. They usually keep growing until the age of four.

What kind of personality does a Ragdoll have?

Ragdolls are considered “puppy-like” in nature because of their laid-back and sweet personalities. They adapt well to different situations and don’t generally have trouble fitting in with all types of families. Ragdolls are extremely affectionate and make great indoor cats because they like to be around their human parents so much. They bond so well with their owners, in fact, that they often follow their humans around and run to greet them at the door when they come home. Unsurprisingly, Ragdolls are good for families with children, as they are very sweet and gentle.

Ragdolls are also extremely playful. They usually retain their kitten-like behaviors well into adulthood. For example, Ragdolls love a good game of fetch. Fortunately for their owners, though, these giant felines tend to keep their claws in when horsing around! They are generally not jumpers, preferring the floor to higher vantage points.

What health issues do Ragdolls have?

Like many purebred cats that come from shallower gene pools, Ragdolls tend to be more susceptible to certain maladies. Some of the most common include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and calcium oxalate bladder stones.

HCM: The most common heart disease affecting cats, HCM is a progressive disease that can ultimately result in heart failure. Fortunately, owners can preemptively test for the specific mutation associated with this disease. So if you decide to get a Ragdoll, it is wise to consult your veterinarian about testing services as soon as the new cat moves into your house.

Calcium oxalate bladder stones: One of the two most common types of bladder stones affecting cats, these are rock-like deposits of minerals, crystals and organic materials that accumulate in the bladder. If they grow too large, they may rub against a cat’s bladder walls and cause inflammation.

Ragdolls can make a great addition to any home, but the health risks they face are very real and can require a lot of long-term care. So if you are planning to adopt one of these beautiful, friendly and playful cats, be sure to talk to your vet first about what owning a Ragdoll can entail.

This week’s Reston Pet of the Week is Koda, a young hound mix who is in need of a good home. Koda will be at Weber’s Pet Supermarket at Fox Mill Shopping Center as part of a pet adoption event this Saturday from noon to 3 p.m.

Here is what the people at Mutt Love Rescue have to say about him:

Koda is a young, red and white hound weighing about 65 pounds, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to be a lap dog at times.

If you look up sweet and affectionate in the dictionary you might just see a picture of Koda.

Koda is in excellent health, and up to date on all vaccines and is housebroken. He is good with all dogs and also good with cats.

He would love a fenced yard and another dog to play with, but will also snuggle up on the couch in the evenings and hang out with his family.

Are you and Koda a match? If so, let us know and our sponsor, Becky’s Pet Care, will send you $100 in Becky’s Bucks, as well as some treats.

On Thanksgiving weekend, it seems like every article is focused on how to cook the perfect turkey (in a paper bag buttered very liberally, FYI) or where to find Black Friday deals.

So I thought I’d share some places to spend Small Business Saturday on Nov 28.

Small Business Saturday, sponsored by American Express, is a day dedicated to supporting locally owned businesses. Since Thanksgiving weekend is one of busiest shopping times of the year, shopping local and small is a way to join millions of Americans in fueling the economy.

Last year, Americans spent $14.3 billion at small, independent businesses on Small Business Saturday. But we can beat that.

The Reston area is home to many small businesses — several of them at Lake Anne (Chesapeake Chocolates, Reston’s Used Book Shop, PetMac and small change consignment). In fact, I suggest stopping by the Lake Anne Coffee Shop and then wandering around the plaza to see what you can find.

Interested in other ways you can support Small Business Saturday? Check out some of the great ideas from people in the community!

This is a sponsored column by attorneys John Berry and Kimberly Berry of Berry & Berry, PLLC, an employment and labor law firm located in Reston Town Center that specializes in federal employee, security clearance, retirement, and private sector employee matters.

On Nov. 2, 2015, President Barack Obama announced the first step to provide individuals with former criminal convictions with a meaningful opportunity to apply for federal employment. Applicants were previously required to check a “Yes” or “No” box to indicate whether they have ever had a felony criminal conviction.

Not surprisingly, this check box has made it very difficult for an individual with a prior criminal conviction that is even decades old to have a chance to compete for a federal employment position. One New York City study cited by the National Institute of Justice indicated that individuals with former criminal records had a 50 percent less chance than the average individual of receiving a job offer.

While additional action is needed by Congress to provide stronger protections, the President has directed the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to modify the rules for federal employment purposes that would effectively delay criminal history inquiries until later in the federal hiring process in order to provide a chance for an individual to be evaluated on his or her merits before having to respond to any questions about former convictions.

This action by President Obama is an important first step. There is a significant and mostly bipartisan “Ban the Box” movement across the country to enable individuals with former felony convictions to withhold disclosure of such convictions when applying for new federal positions. Members of both major political parties have supported these reforms. So far, over 100 cities and counties and 19 states have already enacted such reforms.

Therefore, it is perhaps an opportune and welcome time for President Obama and Congress to work together to help resolve this problem since individuals with criminal convictions who are starting to rebuild their lives still continue to remain the target of discrimination during the employment hiring process.

Meet Evan TheCat, this week’s Reston Pet of the Week. Evan is a new Reston resident as he was adopted as an adult earlier this year. Here is what owner Meggie has to say about him:

Evan was adopted earlier this year as an adult cat. His adoption profile described him as a “chunky lover boy.”

His previous owners named him ‘Evan,’ which coincidentally is the same name of his one of his new pet parents. He has been renamed “Evan TheCat” to alleviate some of the confusion but still keeps friends guessing which Evan ate the giant spider in the basement!

Evan TheCat loves being held and has never met a stranger. He watches over his pet parents at night by sleeping on their pillows and even sitting on the shower mat in the morning. After his night watch duties, he monitors the neighborhood through his second-floor window perch. When he sees his pet parents park their car, he zooms to the front door to greet them.

His new parents are very grateful that they were given the chance to adopt this lover boy as he has brought so much joy to their lives. They are working hard to remove ‘chunky’ from his description.

Congrats to Evan TheCat and Meggie, who win $100 in Becky’s Bucks, plus some treats, from our sponsor, Becky’s Pet Care.

I remember well the day my husband Rick and I knew it was time to give up our single family home on Buttermilk Lane in Reston. It was right about this time of year — minus this amazing weather we’ve been having. Wewere bagging up our 100+ bag of leaves on a cold blustery November day and I thought “wow. I am so over this.”

Our youngest daughter had left that August for Georgia Tech, so we were rattling around in our house — forever shouting to one another from the upstairs to the downstairs. It wasn’t a huge house, but it was so much more than we needed — and more importantly, so much more than we wanted to maintain. It seemed every weekend was dedicated to house maintenance or other related management. We were both seriously over it!

Our downsizing journey started on that cold afternoon in November. We made a side stop in a lovely townhouse overlooking the Van Gogh Bridge and ultimately landed in our perfectly sized Lake Anne condo. The townhouse was ultimately still too large and too vertical but was probably a necessary step for us in the transition process.

At the time that we decided to sell our Buttermilk Lane house, I was not a Real Estate agent so we engaged an agent with good understanding of the Reston market and scheduled a walk-through of our home to discuss what needed to be done to get it ready to sell. Our place was in pretty good shape — we had a few things to do but the vast majority of our effort was in purging the house of the accumulation of 15-plus years’ worth of junk. I was shocked at how long this step took. We started in November and were listed about 12 weeks later and it took every bit of those 12 weeks to get it ready.

In the end, we had less junk, less to take care, less to worry about and lots more time. We also moved into a great community where a snowy day becomes a reason to host a casual potluck, not a worry over who will shovel the walk.

Here are a few great downsizing options.
