LOST/STRAY CATTLE DOG ON WHITEROCK ROAD, MARTINBOROUGH
Spotted this cattle dog on Whiterock Road near Te Muna Rd on my way into Marty about 11.30am today. Obviously lost as it stops and looks at every vehicle passing.
Saw it again on way home near Shooting Butts Road, heading toward Jellicoe Street. Stopped to pick him up and take to vets but wouldn't let me near him. A couple of passing farmers also tried but to no avail.
He's multi coloured, large black/whiteand ginger patches. He's very muddy and has a choker chain around neck.

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!
