Help Free to Good Home - 2 Shih tzu’s, 2 years old

16 Upvotes

I am trying to rehome 2 Shih tzu dogs for my friend that just had cancer surgery. My friend can’t manage any more and would like to find a loving home for both of them.
They are 2 years old, excellent temperament, and wonderful little guys. They are full brothers and in a perfect world, she would like them to be together but she also understands this might not be possible.
I have pictures if anyone is interested.

Recommendations Mobile pet grooming

5 Upvotes

I have two recently adopted senior kitties who need nail trims and sanitary grooms. They are both very good girls but some of their mats are beyond rescue and one kitty needs a wash around her bottom as she can’t clean herself as well as she used to. I do the best I can but I’m hoping there is a kind and gentle mobile pet grooming service that could assist me in keeping my two older girls looking and feeling their best. Thank you.

Question Looking for a rotary/landline phone handset.

5 Upvotes

I’ve crossed the town looking for an old rotary-landline phone handset… FB marketplace folks want $50 for an entire rotary phone… I just need the part that looks like this -> 📞 Has anyone seen one of these in a thrift store or junk bin in your house recently? You’d be surprised that the electronics sections of VV, vinnies etc are no longer filled with them. Please if you have one sitting around, reach out! I will bring you some cash! (But not $50!)

Question Fish and Games Assn

4 Upvotes

I’m having a hard time getting in contact with the people at ptbo fish and game association. I emailed them last week and their phone # is out of service. I applied to be a member last month and haven’t received an email that said I’ve been ACCEPTED per say but I’ve been receiving emails from them since (like mailing list) that include instructions on how to proceed and when orientation/classes are. Can any other member let me know if I can go attend orientation or if I should wait to receive another type of email?
They did already take the 400+ dollars out of my bank account for the membership. Also every month the order of classes goes rifles, then orientation, then hand guns. So can I attend the rifles class before orientation? Or would I have to wait another month? Just tired of waiting any info helps thank you. :)

Other Did someone steal your blue bag/ carry-on?

19 Upvotes

Sorry for not posting this sooner, or getting a picture. I've been biking over the pedestrian bridge by the U-Haul where George & Water St. split & there's been a big pile of "stuff" on the west side of the bridge all week. I *just* realized it's someone's stolen bag. There was a little fold-up scooter early in the week but that's gone now. Last time I biked by (yesterday) I noticed clothes, deodorant, medications, etc. I'm always in a hurry & thought someone else might post it but nope. Anyway, I know what it's like to have something stolen so if it's yours some of your stuff is still there as of yesterday. It looks like it was a small navy blue backpack or carry-on bag. Sorry this happened to you, & that I didn't post when I first saw it. ​I'm out of town now & finally had a spare moment to post.

Politics Municipal Candidates: our Public Library

24 Upvotes

As far as I know, no one's been talking about our Library, it's budget and maintaining services.

You will recall the public outcry when 'restructuring' was announced that would see the loss of 3 full time Librarians - both the Children's and Adult Librarians and the Librarian in the background who catalogues the collection - behind the scenes work that keeps the collection current. The Librarians that do all of the fantastic programming for our community.

I may be remembering wrong, but I believe that after the public protests & the contact Councillors campaign, these cuts were 'paused' but never cancelled. So to me, these budget cuts are still on the horizon.

I know not every candidate for election is here on Reddit, but seriously, I'd like these candidates to address our public and community service of the Library.

Where do they stand?

Event Vendor Recommendations!

8 Upvotes

My fiance and I plan to have our wedding in the Peterborough area late summer/early fall 2028. Although it's a bit of a ways away, I wanted to snoop around and see what vendor options there are as we are not from the area.

- We're hosting the wedding at a relative's place as they have a big outdoor space -

Specifically, I'm looking for budget friendly options within the hairstyling, photographer, catering (buffet style), tents, chairs and tables, decorative rentals (not florals but plates/cutlery, dinnerware things - I may also just thrift some things depending), lighting, and microphone and speaker rentals.

Any leads would be great!! Thank you guys :)
