Searching for a good home for a sweet bunny rabbit
by Brittany 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a loving home for my nephews bunny. He's fairly small, super sweet and does great with other animals and children. I will supply the cage, remainder of food and bedding. I'd be happy to provide pictures as well. It would be great to find him a home before the new year, and we really don't want to give him to a shelter. Asking for a small rehoming fee. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks and happy holidays! Brittany bdukeslumos18(a)yahoo.com

Customized Baby Proofing
by Audrey Rasmusson 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

A family in Squirrel Hill is seeking contractor recommendations for baby proofing their very modern home. They need someone who can drill into iron posts and brick walls. The parents would also appreciate any ideas for making an open stairway (it has no risers, just steps) safer for a child learning to crawl and, eventually, walk. Thank you. Audrey
