SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Max and Mila
"Our family could no longer take care of us, so now we are looking for a new home. We are best friends and will need to be adopted together. We are not yet used to lots of handling, so would not be suitable for young children. We need an experienced home to help us get used to the ways of the world.
We will need a large grassy area for daytime, with a weather-proof hutch. At night we will need to be inside with you as part of the family, so an area inside your home to call our own will be needed. If this sounds like your set up, please click apply now, so my caregivers can learn more about you, and make you an appointment to come and meet us."

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!
