I heard meowing outside the window and looked out to see him, not quite believing my eyes at first as he is very similar to another of my cats which has longer fur though. Needless to say there were tears of joy and I still can't quite believe he's home again. He just needs to put on some weight but other than that he's in good shape and is being waited on paw and paw. Thank you so much again. Bless you all.

🐦Parrot tipped off Brazilian drug dealers ... 🐦

Fiona from Henderson

Wow!! I wonder if he was given his one phone call?
Will he start singing like a canary sooner rather than later?
Will his friends and family now consider him a stool pigeon?
Have Red Cross been notified so they can send food parcels?
Will the UN get involved?
I wonder if it's 'cheep'… View more

Lest we forget - ANZAC Day 2019

Fiona from Henderson

They shall not grow old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn them.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

When Graham Hanson's dad died in 1999, he inherited his dad's letters, tickets stubs, a used serviette, dirty letters sent to girlfriends, and even a bus ticket up to Trieste. His father never spoke about his efforts in the war and his children never asked. Watch the video and read the story.
