My dog attacked and recovering - Please Share - https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/saving-luna-1

Andrew from Henderson

Did not think to post this until now - Duh!
My dog was severely mauled in Corbans Estate a month ago now and the recovery has been good but the costs of surgery and follow-up have been eye watering. I took out a high interest personal loan that I will find great difficulty in paying off so set up a give-a-little page. Vet costs have now consumed the whole $20,000 I borrowed but hopefully this is the last phase of recovery. I know times are tight for all of us but I am asking if you would please share my link on your social media s anyone I reach who is able to help would be fantastic. I know asking for help is a crowded field but this is the first time I have ever taken this step - I simply had to save my girl (as letting her go would have broken me) and that the problem is mine but needs must. Would do anything for her. The other dog owner is useless and did pay the initial deposit required for the vet to start. He has no money and it is in the hands of Animal Control now. Please share on your social media as some lovely people out there might be in a position to help.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

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!
