Reply to comment by ChinaLouise in My kitty is dying, I don't know how to transport her by ChinaLouise
I understand you can't afford a lot, and you're trying your best. But don't surrender your maow in hopes that they'll euthanize. You both deserve to be together until the end. It looks like they allow owner present euthanasias at their north branch-I can't help with travel, but if you get there, I can help pay so you can be with her.

I bought a house here a little over a year ago and love it. I'm on Miriam street, which is very close to 376. You can hear it outside but honestly not very much?

I assume they are pointing out the "e" instead of the "a".
I had to reread a couple of times - initially thought it was the "Dr" being pointed out.

I don't remember one in the mid to late 00s. Or maybe it was only if you went upstairs or arrived after a certain time.

It's permanently closed now. It was temporary but the new owners just couldn't make it work. Caliente's is moving in now

From what I recall they didn’t have a cover charge on .50 cent Thursdays either. Crazy times.

It’s a difference in etymological origin. The etymology of “burgh” (with an “h”) is Scottish (the Scottish-English cognate of the English “borough”), while “burg” (without an “h”) is German. Between 1758 and 1890, both spellings of Pittsburgh/Pittsburg were used. In 1890, the federal government was trying to standardize place names, and they made the sweeping decision to drop all H’s from places ending in -burgh, so that they’d end in -burg. As to your point, the population of Pittsburgh in 1890 was 238,000 (page 4 of the Census Bulletin). In many non-federal applications, the “Pittsburgh” spelling was still used. In 1911 (population 533,000 - the downloaded zip file contains a file for PA), due to pressure from the people of Pittsburgh and one of the US senators from PA, the naming board reversed its decision.

how do you possibly think he’s going to make more $$ running a shelter than a for-profit business?

I just messaged OP. The humane society does owner present euthanasias if they go to their north location (as opposed to surrender, which is what OP's current plan is). If they go there to be with their kitty, I will also contribute to the bill so they can be together. Let me know if you hear anything else..
