Dog companion wanted

Jackie from South New Brighton

I would like to offer a loving home to a canine companion for my dog Grace, who is a lovely natured 7-year-old Bichon X Jack Russell. Grace (pictured) has always been part of a two-dog family, and since having to put Rocky (15 years old) to sleep in February, we are both lost.
I prefer a small-medium breed, not needing excessive grooming, or excessive exercise, though daily walks on the beach are the norm. I’m not wanting barkers or ones with aggressive or antisocial behavior, and I would like to view your vet’s records.
I am retired and spend most of the day at home. Most of my dogs have been ‘rescued’ and I am used to gently easing them into our quiet lifestyle.
It would have to share with two friendly cats on a small well fenced back section close to the beach.
A trial period would be required, but a spoilt inside life is guaranteed.

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.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

Leslie from Avonside - Dallington

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
