Our Pet of the Day is Poppy, a five month old King Charles cavalier, who was born on ANZAC weekend.
Owner Rob Nicol says she loves chilling out and sleeping in the sun.
The Pet of the Day will no longer be appearing in the Dominion Post and instead you will find it on Neighbourly every Saturday.

Photographer Louise Thomas snapped the image on a recent expedition to photograph some new bird species.
"I've had an amazing 24-hours. Yesterday, my faithful porter and I went out to Matiu/Somes Island. We saw sooty shearwaters, kākāriki, aka red-crowned parakeet, numerous skinks, and on the way back a spotted shag near the Days Bay wharf.
All three birds are new species for me. I'm afraid I have no idea what sort of skink this is, I think common skink, but it has a dark iris? Suggestions from those in the know much appreciated - I'm going cross-eyed trying to work it out on the internet.
Funny story, both Chris and I thought this was a railway spike holding up the wood on the edge of the step, then Chris said "wait, that spike has little hands."
I’m looking for someone to do fortnightly or weekly tidying, laundry, cleaning, and odd jobs around our home. We are two working parents and two kids. Preferably on Wednesdays.
