Pittsburgh Pet of the Week: Buggz
Meet Buggz! Yes, it is Buggz! Just like Buggz Bunny. He is a one-year-old Flemish Giant, who weighs 10lbs, and thinks he is a lap bun! Buggz was an owner surrender when his owner was no longer able to care for him. He is a huge love bug who loves to be pet on the top of his head and his ears and wants everyone’s attention 24/7. He purrs when he is getting lovings, and tends to get a little bit sassy when you stop petting him, but he always means well! Buggz wants to be friends with anyone, and is always affectionate and curious about everything, but if you stop petting him, he will nip at your pants to get your attention. He could live with another bunny pending a successful meet and greet.

Hootie & the Blowfish Play Star Lake; Open Streets Pittsburgh; Squirrel Hill Night Market (Sat., 6/29/24)
1) “Time,” indeed. The last time Hootie & the Blowfish were in town was the first time they had toured in years. The alt rockers’ 2019 Group Therapy Tour marked the end of a long hiatus which, except for occasional one-off gigs, had put the band in suspended animation since 2008. Now they’re back, and this is welcome news. The band’s rep as having one of the worst names ever is just plain wrong—see if you can come up with a name more distinctive and memorable than Hootie & the Blowfish—while so much about the group is just right. Legendary frontman Darius Rucker is fronting again. They’ve still got a 21X platinum album, 1994’s Cracked Rear View, in their repertoire. The band is known for laudable charity work, and for striking covers as well as original music—the latest being a cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”—and they can still rock with anyone. That’s why they are booked into the big Pavilion at Star Lake on their Summer Camp with Trucks Tour. Guest artists are Collective Soul and Edwin McCain. 7 p.m. 665 PA Rt. 18, Burgettstown. (C.M., M.V.)
