What's been happening you ask? Well, a lot. Catch up on this week's top headlines
The 2012 race for the White House came to the Pittsburgh area Saturday.

Co-owner Linda Beard says the doggie day care and kennel will provide “guilt-free” boarding.
At 5th Avenue Fido, the luxury doggie day care center and indoor kennel opening soon in Cranberry, the rooms are fit for a princess—literally. While all hotel-inspired sleeping rooms for dogs at the facility have a different theme, the “Princess House” is outfitted in pink and features a chandelier. Linda Beard said she named in honor of her own dog, Princess. She said there’s nothing else like it in Pittsburgh. “Nobody has these ‘houses,’ ” she said. Along with Janet Best, Beard, a longtime dog trainer, is co-owner of 5th Avenue Fido. Located along Route 19 at the former Northgate Honda building, the facility offers what Beard calls “guilt-free” boarding.

Officials also approve plans for North Catholic High School.
Cranberry area residents will soon have a new place to shop for furniture well as a unique facility to take the family dog. At Thursday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Cranberry officials unanimously gave final approval to plans for a La-Z-Boy at the Cranberry Crossroads shopping and office plaza. Developer Phil Bishop of ECHO Realty said the 12,063 square-foot furniture store would be the final piece to the development, which currently is under construction on Route 228. When finished, the shopping center will feature a two-story Dick’s Sporting Goods at its center. Bishop said the store would function as a showroom gallery only, meaning customers won’t be able to cart their furniture choices from inside the building on the same day they …

The boarding house also will provide a doggie daycare and training lessons
Linda Beard and Janet Best have always treated their dogs like family, which is why they wanted to open a dog care facility that does the same. “They live in a nice home all the time,” Beard said of her own pooches. “So when we go away, I wouldn’t want to put them somewhere that would be stressful to them or a lot different to them than a home environment.” On Monday, Cranberry’s Planning Advisory Commission approved co-owner Beard and Best’s plans for 5th Avenue Fido, a luxury indoor kennel and doggie day care facility that will be located along Route 19 at the vacant Northgate Honda building. The plans will next go before the Cranberry Board of Supervisors later this month for final approval. Beard, a Cranberry resident, said 5th Avenue …

Over time I have had a few dogs and cats. I liked them and they liked me BUT they were not my kids. What does it cost for this new luxo establishment that probably is better than a lot of people can afford for them selves.
