irresponsible dog owner
irresponsible dog owner. my friend saw a young lady running on everglade drive (near the roundabout with Eugenia drive) with a small dog off leash. she stopped and told the lady the dog needs to be on leash, and as a dog owner, did she not know the rules. the lady said she did not know. if the dog decided to dash across the road, or saw another dog, anything could happen. instead of restraining the dog or going home to get a leash, the lady continued her run with the dog running along. the lady was in her late twenty's, fair, slim and tall. pacific islander perhaps. if anyone sees her, she needs to be told to go home with the dog rather than put it at risk.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
