Dog trackers

Christine from Central Otago District

Hi, I have been looking at various dog tracking devices and they seem to fall into 2 distinct categories - the inexpensive device that attaches to your dogs collar and the very expensive ones that hunters use.

I think the difference is that the cheap ones use a sim card and utilises the mobile phone systems and the expensive ones utilise padding satellites.

The problem is I can't get a straight answer about the effectiveness in rural areas of the cheap ones and alsoif I would have to pay a monthly charge for the use of a sim card.

I live in an area that is poorly served by Vodaphone and not at all by anyone else.

Has anyone had any experience using the cheaper tracking devises - are they worth it?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
