Roaming dogs at night
Please fellow dog owners make sure your dogs are locked up on your property .. I came home from work at 4am Saturday morning to my poor cat been mauled by two dogs ... They had come on to the property up two flight s of stairs to the front door and had her in their mouths both pulling on her like a toy.. my daughter heard the rukus and looked out the window and seen it all .. by the time she called out to her father .. it was too late .. the carnage was done .. my poor cat had her Jaw ripped apart , puncture wounds over her body one eye had popped out and the other had gone black to the point where she was blind . My husband wrapped her up in a towel and put her in a box ... I called the emergency vet group and we took her down ... Her injuries were so severe she literally had her head crushed but my baby was still breathing . Unfortunately we had to put her to sleep .. All this carnage happened under a minute .. but it wouldn't of happened if you had locked your damn dog up ... My daughter recognized one of the dogs .. it's a known roamer in the Westown .. Pembroke area .. it looks like a staffy terrier ... Tannish brown with a white chest possibly belly and the other dog was possibly dark brown or maybe dark grey . So if you live in the area keep an eye out ... I'm so gutted 😭

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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!
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!
