[Highland Park] Lost Dog Clementine Update
by Katie Osborne 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

I'm writing to update about our search for Clementine. If you didn't catch the original post, I'm including it at the bottom of this one for reference. The search is still on. We're feeling hopeful because there have been numerous sightings in the neighborhood both last night and throughout the day today. We've even spotted her several times ourselves. Each time she's been spotted, she's been running either through roads or in back yards. She's obviously very afraid of people, and we've received some great advice from helpful experts in the field of dog recue: If you see her, it's best not to acknowledge her by name, go towards her, or even make eye contact. Instead we should try to turn away slightly while still keeping an eye on where she's going. Please continue contacting us when you see her because one of these times, we'll be able to catch up and find her in a place where she can't run off. We are SO grateful for the many ways the community has helped Clementine (and us) over the past 24 hours - from people sharing kind words, calling in sightings, to referring us to professionals, and even lending a hand in looking out for her. Thank you so much for your help and encouragement! We will update the listserv with any relevant changes. Below is my original posting from this morning: My partner and I adopted an extremely shy and skittish black lab and basset hound mix today only to have her wiggle out of her full harness and leash as we stepped out of the car to bring her into her new home. She darted down the alley at the end of Mellon by the high rise at around 6:30pm Saturday and we haven't seen her since. Her name is Clementine. She is an absolute sweetheart and we were really looking forward to giving her a home and helping her gain trust in people again :( She has no idea where she is and we suspect she's hiding out under a bush or in a yard somewhere nearby. It's unlikely that she will come to someone trying to offer help. If you have seen her or have any information that might help us find her, please call us at 727-458-5237 (Katie) or 814-758-2119 (Kelly). Any help is very appreciated! Attached is her picture.

[Highland Park] Emergency Lifeguard!!
by Jennifer Desiderio 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Hi! I am looking for an emergency lifeguard for the Dilworth swim team on Wednesday the 27th from 4:15 to 6:15. My lifeguard didn't know that she was going out of town and can't do it. This was very unexpected. She tried to check with friends, but no luck. I REALLY need would love to run this practice for my kids since we only have one more before our one and only big meet on December 3rd. If you have up to date certifications or maybe know someone who does it maybe have a college age child coming home for break, please let me know! Also, I will pay $15 per hour cash for the lifeguard, which is more than my regular hourly rate since it is a last minute emergency. Thanks!!! Jenn Desiderio Sent freon my iPhone

[Highland Park] TV for our kid's Rec Room
by Amber McCann 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

As we anticipate a houseful for the holidays, we've decided to throw down some carpet and a few couches into our basement for our kids to take over! They'd like to be able to watch TV and play video games down there. Anyone have a TV they are looking to either give away or sell cheap? Trying to make this dream a reality for them before Wednesday! -- *Amber McCann, IBCLC* Lactation Consultant and Social Media Coordinator Website: breastfeedingcenterofpittsburgh.com/ Email: amber(a)kidspluspgh.com <mpeelor(a)kidspluspgh.com> Phone: 412-246-4726

[Highland Park] Lost Black Dog Seen
by Anne Davis 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Sharing this Lawrenceville site post in the hopes it reconnects this dog with its owner. I tried to find a "Nextdoor - Highland Park" page but couldn't so posting it here in case anyone knows someone in the area that's lost a dog.... We were driving to Highland Park earlier today and a little black dog with a yellow collar came flying out into the road and was nearly hit by the car coming in the opposite direction, thankfully it halted just for a second and then carried on running, we followed it and tried to call it to come to our car but it was certainly on a mission! It was a fast little thing despite it's short legs and ran up over the hill into Highland Park near the reservoir - we parked inside the main gates of the park and started to walk our dog and the little thing came running towards us so I did the usual things you do when trying to grab a loose dog (being 40 weeks pregnant I wasn't sure what I thought I was going to be able to achieve!) but it raced on by and we couldn't catch it.... So if you know someone in that area that's lost a small black dog that looks like a long haired dachshund (I'm no expert!) they might want to try up there as it's having a lovely time!
