Litter - Particularly Bones - Near Pavilions
by Dawn Fels 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Dear neighbors, I tend to walk my dogs daily in Highland Park. You might have seen us (short lady with two dachshunds, one of which barks at everyone - sorry about that). For several months, I've noticed a preponderance of bones left behind by picnic enthusiasts, especially near what I think is the Bigelow pavilion (the one in the northwestern corner of the park). I'm pretty careful to guide my dogs away from the bones, but I must have missed the moment when my youngest snagged one last month. It became lodged in his jaw but was too small for even three vets to find on three separate visits. In fact, we didn't know it was a bone until this morning, when a surgeon found it. Luckily, my little guy is going to be fine, but this stupid little chicken bone caused my dog terrible pain, led to an infection, and cost me over $1300. I realize that those who leave litter and bones on the ground after their picnics may not be reading this message, and I doubt the Parks Department can or would do anything about them. I've rented a pavilion in the park, and I know we have to sign contracts stating we would clean up after ourselves, but apparently some people just don't think that applies to them. I will call the Parks Department, though, and ask that garbage collectors be extra careful when emptying the cans around the pavilions. In the meantime, keep a close eye on your dogs around the pavilions. I'd hate for someone else's doggie to get this sick. Have a great weekend, everyone! Dawn Sent from my iPad

Yellow Jackets near the HP reservoir
by June Edwards 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi neighbors, My husband and I were walking around the reservoir this morning and I got stung by yellow jackets three times on my leg. This happened in the middle of the stretch that is closest to the zoo. The grass was being cut nearby (on the steep hillside leading down to Reservoir Drive) and I assume a ground nest was disturbed. I was lucky there wasn't a large swarm of them. My husband was wearing long pants and did not get stung. I took Benadryl and did not have an allergic reaction. People using the park should stay away from areas where grass is being cut or has been recently cut. I will be contacting the Pittsburgh Park Service to see if they will take care of this problem, and will let you know what they say. June
