SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Moose
Hi Neighbourly folk, this lovely story about a cat named Moose reminds us important pets are in lockdown. Moose is a SPCA rescue cat.
Ho is your pet coping in lockdown and feel free to post a picture.
“I wanted to give an update on how “Clarence”—now named Moose— is settling in. He’s such a relaxed cat! He’s become very attached to our 14m old lab/collie mix and they play together really well! We had hoped they would get along, as he had been fostered with a dog, but it’s been great to see them bond so quickly. Moose has also bonded strongly with my partner and I, falling asleep on us while we work and my partner even moves his little bed onto his desk while he’s in meetings working from home. Hope you guys enjoy some photos.”
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
