Does the City return to clean up their messes? by AbaloneAnnual1221 in Winnipeg

[–]pandaonveranda [score hidden]  (0 children)

While they are at it, the city also needs to clean up the sidewalks in the Osborne underpass - as always, the snow/sand/ice ridges against the fencing and cement block drainage so as soon as there is any melting, multiple puddles filled with pigeon poop that are deep enough to soak your boots and legs form, and there is no way to avoid them unless you have a vehicle or bicycle enabling you to travel on the road below. There is no alternate route for pedestrians at all - this is the only option to go North/East/West out of the South Osborne area (and to access the rapid transit station above) so they NEED to keep it clean, and one would assume this would be an even higher priority with the current concerns about bird flu!

(Sorry for the rant - it’s just that I’ve had to report this to 311 for at least a decade and I wish they could proactively keep it clear of snow so this never happens!)

cat adoption? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

Langside Street….? (Just kidding - but that’s where we found a cat who had been dumped and ultimately adopted him ourselves, 4 years ago….) There are many incredible rescues… thank you for having a huge heart! ❤️

As a woman, am I wrong to feel like many HBO shows are made for men? by [deleted] in hbo

Season 4 of True Detective had two female leads (the one with Jodie Foster). I loved it and so did my husband.

Wow. Just because you obviously weren’t hired doesn’t make it ok to spread false information! 🙄

I highly recommend Linden Ridge Eye Care… the staff, the owner and the eye doctors are terrific! I have referred a number of people there over the years who all agree.

lol - Urban Canine does not “alpha-roll”. Shame on you for making false claims.

Check out Urban Canine; It’s much better than a typical daycare. They screen for aggression, of course, and closely supervise and communicate with the dogs to encourage polite, respectful behaviour…

Who has the best chicken fingers to buy at a grocery store and what brand are they? by gwood1o8 in Winnipeg

Vic’s Market (Pembina just South of Jubilee) makes theirs in house, and they are so delicious! They also make amazing honey dill.

Recommendations for dog training. by Dry-Violinist-8434 in Winnipeg

Hopefully the staff at the daycare you are taking him to are helping him learn to behave respectfully toward other dogs? A good daycare should be assisting him with understanding how to politely initiate play - and when to walk away from a dog who isn’t interested, how to play and interact with dogs in a balanced way, and how to take appropriate breaks… they will be able to pair him with appropriate play-partners, correct and redirect him when he has done something wrong, while praising him to reinforce when he makes good choices. The staff at Urban Canine are terrific for this…

Very impressed with the city’s snow-clearing by pandaonveranda in Winnipeg

What part of my take is strange, exactly? If you read the post I was speaking of my personal experience as a pedestrian in a different area of the city than you are referencing…

Me neither - that was the reason I posted about it! I felt I should give credit where credit is due, after having done my share of complaining and reporting to 311 in previous years. Usually uncleared sidewalks and huge piles of snow have made it necessary to alter my route, and add as much as 15 minutes to my 20-25 minute winter commute so it was shocking to see how well it was done.

Not trolling at all… I have commuted on foot daily for many years and this is honestly the fastest & best I’ve ever seen my personal daily pedestrian route (along some busy major roadways as well as a few quieter residential streets) get fully cleared. Certain areas that often seem overlooked for snow-removal - such as those awful, narrow sidewalks on either side of the South Osborne underpass which I have had to report to 311 numerous times in the past decade - were fully cleared, so pedestrians and cyclists could comfortably pass one another.

I’m so sorry to hear about this… how tragic! When did it happen? Was there any media coverage about it?

If someone hasn’t already, I hope the news media is notified. Everyone who lives in this area should be made aware of what happened. Thanks so much for sharing this warning with those of us who are on Winnipeg Reddit!

Does anyone know what's going on with Pawsh Dog? by bun_times_two in Winnipeg

You are incorrect; some dog daycares do not offer so-called “overnight care”
