TLC gifts are virtual gifts. You simply select which animal you'd like to save and whether you'd like to give them the gift of love or rescue on behalf of the one you love.

Make sure you choose the e-card option and a gift will be emailed right away.

Hi Auckland,

I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend. The sun was shining brightly and Aucklanders were out in force, which was great to see.

I saw some big crowds at Hayman Park, Manukau and Parrs Park in Henderson yesterday for the Waitangi celebrations. Impressive challenge and welcome for the PM at Hoani Waititi Marae. People enjoying sunny weather, the festivities and food stalls.

I capped off Waitangi day by getting some exercise on the farm, loading up hay bales. Hot work, but a cold beer afterwards helped with the recovery.

Have a great week, Auckland!
