THANK YOU

Ian from Waikanae

Big super thank you to Animates vet care Waikanae and to all that contributed to the givealittle page I set up a while ago to help my dog
Girl lost her fight with cancer on Wednesday at 6pm at home in my arms thankfully and was fast and peaceful but hard to deal with.
It's even hard writing this but you all need to be thanked for the extra time my companion was with me, that's priceless
Thanks again to Animates and my bro for dealing with cremation for me as I could not even speak or reply to what's happening
Hopefully when I pick up her ashes I might be able to have a conversation and fill them in properly and thank them for the help over time ,,I'm not the easiest person to deal with but they look after Girl and me well,,,,RIP MY GIRL and thanks all for the support
Sorry for the sad post

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
