ISO tenant looking for a month-to-month bedroom
by Melissa Zoé 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Hello neighbors! I am closing down one of the houses that I manage in Highland Park with bedrooms for rent on a month-to-month basis. I have a tenant, who is very nice, that needs a place to stay starting in April. He just needs a furnished bedroom on a month-to-month term. He is very low key, respectful and usually works long days during the weekdays. Please let me know if you know of anyone that has such a place to offer. He doesn't mind it being outside of Highland Park but somewhere within the city. Thanks so much! Melissa 412-313-4860

Hi Neighbors, I am wondering if there is anyone who has a travel dog crate for a bigger dog ( lab size) to borrow next week? He doesn’t need it for the car trip but might be nice while we are at our sons for him to have a safe spot Thanks Erin

Veterinarians!
by Kimberly Latta 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Dear Wonderful Neighbors: Thank you for the quick responses to my query about veterinarians in the area. Here is what you have had to say, so far: · Hi! We've used Dr. Amanda Resek for almost 20 years. She is incredibly smart and kind and treats our dog like he's her own. Her staff is equally caring. We've followed her to every practice she's had. · We have been with Dr. Kenneth Fisher at East End Veterinary for 16 years now. Great with our first, and now for the last 4 years with our 2 new. I don't know if he is taking on new clients but I have had good experiences with other vets there. · East End Vets on Emerson has always been kind and thorough…not sure if they are taking new clients, but you can try. (412) 361-5000 · We use East End Vet Med Ctr on Ellsworth or Humane animal Rescue for routine check ups and shots. For large issues we have had the best results with PVS on Camp Horne. · Caroline Simard at Point Breeze Veterinary, Ziti is going to HARP’s clinic as of now. Emma’s dogs go to East End Vets on Ellsworth. · Middle road animal clinic-they’re great! Kind, helpful, excellent with my kitties. He just hired a second vet who is awesome too! One of my cats jumped up to the top of the cabinet to avoid her check up. The vet laughed, got his camera to take her photo saying he’d never seen that escape attempt before. Then he took his time to help her relax and coax her down with treats. · +1 (412) 486-3172 · We have had, for quite a while now. 2 dogs, 2 cats and several vets, over the years. Our two favorite, and current, ones are Pittsburgh Spay and Vaccination Clinic, Sandy Creek Road [about two miles from the HP Bridge, in Penn Hills], and Big Easy Animal Hospital, on 52nd Street in Lawrenceville, down by the Allegheny River. · We liked the Big Easy. They’re a little chaotic and the wait times can be a lot during walk in hours, but they took very good care of my old dog and seemed to be good people. Good luck! · I have several vets in the area I like. Point Breeze Werntz Vet Pet Vet 366, any of them Cheyenne Dravosburg · For cats Cat Clinic on Liberty in Bloomfield · My son was home at Christmas from NYC with his black lab puppy. She had an ear infection. Petvet365 agreed to see her when many other places wouldn’t. When we got there, we saw Dr. Amanda Resek who I immediately recognized from when we had a dog and she treated him about 10 years ago at VCA Fox Chapel. She owns PetVet365 and she is WONDERFUL. I can’t say enough good things. The practice at PetVet365 seems terrific. I’d recommend them. · I’ve been taking my dog to North Boros Veterinary Hospital even though it’s in the North Hills. I chose them because it is so difficult getting an appointment with a vet and I wanted something I could use for an emergency. North Boros is a bit different because in the mornings, from 9 - 12 I think, it’s first come first serve. So when my dog ate a bunch of grapes I was able to take him to North Boros the next morning and got in to see the vet. Their appointments are in the afternoon. · I see Dr. Kelly Holupka at North Boros for scheduled appointments and like her quite a bit. Personally I prefer her to the vet who owns the business - I forget his name. · Our Vet is Penn Animal Hospital on Penn Ave., in The Strip District. We see Dr. Cohn, all the Vets and staff are very nice and personable! Dr. Cohn is a good listener and takes all you say into consideration with your appointment. What we really like is that they have walk-in visits Monday through Thursday, (not sure about Friday) between 11am to 1:00pm; then appointment visits in late afternoon until close (which I think is 6pm). We had gone to a different Vet's office for over 20+ years and they were terrific, but just very difficult to get appointments as needed. Usually was a 2 to 3 week wait. We took in a momma kitty with her 5 kittens a year and a half ago and needed immediate appointments to have them all checked out and Penn Animal and their schedule works for us. · We use East End. We price check everything & they had the least expensive in the city and also the best reviews. We have been happy there for 4 years now. -- Kimberly Latta, PhD Highland Park, Pittsburgh Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble.--*John Lewis*, 2020. Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that our youngest days are our happiest. - *George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)*
