Too hot for your feet? Too hot for your Dogs!

Paul from Morrinsville

I was out two days ago (a major achievement at the moment but's that another story) I saw a middle aged man with his biggish dog towing him whilst he was on a push bike. The dog didn't like it was enjoying itsself, had a funny gait, then I realised the temperature was 28 or 29 degrees. too damn hot for my feet, the poor dog was clearly lifting its legas as quick as it could. Ignorance is bliss or abuse, if it is too dam hot for you to be barefoot then it is too hot for your dog. You can get boots for them or maybe leave the dog at home or exercise on the grass. Dodi says, give me plenty of water please and if it is too hot for your feet, then it is too hot for mine, please keep my feet cool!

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
