Fwd: [Highland Park] Dog grooming recommendations
by Rob Brandegee 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi Highland Park! Here is a list of all of the comments people made regarding Pet Grooming recommendations and walking services. I took out any names, but left the comments for context. Thanks for all of the great info, our pouch will be looking fabulous! 5 Double Bee's references 4 Animal Elegance references Single references on the rest of the companies. Thanks! > We like Diamond in the Ruff on the South Side (plus a nice coffee shop a short drive away, Big Dog). They do well with our two nutty Great Danes who don't like to go to the groomer. Not sure what yours would cost, ours are short coats but large dogs, and we only go once or twice a year so honestly I can't remember cost. Their website probably has a price list. We've gone other places that were equally priced but didn't treat our dogs as well. > Animal Elegance on Butler street > animal Elegance is on butler by the ice cream zebra. Animal Elegance at the bottom of the hill on Butler St. across from Exxon. Varies depending on size around $50. they do a great job. our dog is huge and doesn't shed so its a big job, we pay about 100 with tip.u can also go down to the dog stop and they will charge you like 10 bucks to self-wash your dog there, which is kinda cool. they have an elevated tub with sprayer attachments and they give you shampoo and towels and a dryer and all that stuff. We are just starting to use Animal Elegance on Butler Street just across from the entrance to the lower Zoo parking lot. Call Bill at Double Bees for dog grooming: 412/362-4681 -- he's in Highland Park and very reasonable. Closed Thurs. but open Sat. > We use Dubblebee's on Mellon for years. Double B's on the corner of Welsley and Mellon are the best and right in the neighborhood!!!! Grooming: Dubblebbees Dog Grooming 945 Mellon St. 412-361-4681 cost depends on type of dog but you could stop in and talk to them about it I find the owners to be a bit arrogant .. but they do a good job and my dog was never stressed out when I went to pick him up. Grooming for my King Charles Spaniel is $40 Double B's on the cornor of Weslley and Mellon are the best and right in the neighborhood!!!! We have 2 mastiffs and I've been happy with Petco at Waterworks. For the "full service" wash including trimming nails and scrubbing teeth, we pay $50. I've also recently learned of a self service dog wash in Penn Hills but I haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know. I highly recommend Kateri Sullivan-Walls who owns All God's Creatures (412)661-5636 @ 5121 Penn Ave in Garfield - I think she's the best! I have 2 cats and a big dog. She does everything, clips nails, washes, cuts hair and blow dries. Depending on the size of your dog and their hair type, cost can range between $25 - $75 I'd say. I have a newfie, he's more expensive, but it's so worth it, he always looks great when she's done! If you call her, she'll give you an idea of the cost. I just went to a new service in Greenfield yesterday and was very happy with it: 412/421-1100: Greenfield Grooming Service--inexpensive, careful, knowledgeable. Owner's name is Donna. Dog Walkers > Dog walking: Au Purr (Lisa and Heather, owners -- website is easy to find if you search for Au Purr LLC). Absolutely love them, have been using them for years. Call Maribeth at Elly Mae's Critter Sitters for dog walking at 412/661-5156 -- she's in the neighborhood, sweet and reliable and VERY reasonable rates. Margaret O'Connell Farragut Street

[Highland Park] Have you been to Catapult yet?
by Christina Gavin 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Catapult <http://www.catapultpgh.com/> is a temporary co-working/co-playing coffee shop brewing coffee with fire & glass. Catapult seeks to bring together community members, independent workers, and whoever happens by, to talk about what they want and need out of life and workspaces. Catapult is sponsored in part by the lovely folks at the Sprout Fund. *What is it?* In one word: community. In another word: support. It's about figuring out a business model where indy workers and the places where they frequent, co-exist and thrive. It's about supporting people who aren't connected to the resources of a large organization. It's about having a space for creatives to come together and meet each other. Unlike all the meet-up groups and Pittsburgh chapters, it's a physical space, a home base. Catapult welcomes people who: • Want a place to use their laptop and have a beer • Need to print but don't want to buy a printer • Want coffee brought to their table • Want to be a part of an indy worker community • Don't have a traditional, full-time office job • Don't have a living room or space to chill out in their apartment • Want to use the backyard • Want to have a business meeting • Want to go out, but don't want to buy a beverage • Want to work near other people working Catapult is located at 5151 Penn Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15224 and is open from 10am to Midnight, Monday through Saturday, during October 2011. For more details, visit: http://www.catapultpgh.com/the-plan/ I have been here to work, print documents, scan files, have meetings & chat with interesting folk. I recommend you check it out! -- Make a Small Development Loan, Make a Big Difference. Easy. www.kiva.org
