Hi everyone, thanks for your thoughts. Comments are now closed.

I have professional equipment and have done some practice with groomers but I'm not knowledgeable on breed specific grooms or styles.
$20 for a full groom of small dogs, inquire if you have a bigger dog. Includes bath, dry, brush, nail clipping and a groom. I haven't got experience doing anal glands so that won't be done.

Booking one dog per weekend for a 9am appointment on Sat or Sun. Message me if interested :)

Mystery Trip to Upper Hutt

Michael from Pinehaven

A senior couple paid Air NZ $1500 for a mystery trip. The trip turned out to be the southern city of Invercargill.

The trip turned out to be the southern city of Invercargill. I would have been slightly annoyed that it wasn't for instance, Queenstown, but i am sure I would have found something that allowed me to have a pleasant time in a city I have never actually been to - and I have been to Queenstown several times.

So the couple complained and got their money back.

What if the couple had found themselves in the city of Upper Hutt and were told that the rules of the mystery trip was that they could not travel to anywhere else but Upper Hutt? Could they have had a great time in a "great" city?

Well they could visit Staglands which is a kind of rugged farmland zoo, they would have to go to Expressions because this place is compulsory viewing. Oh, yes, it might be happiness if their trip coincides with a race day at Trentham, but olay, we now have this craft beer tour and I believe that one of the four craft beer establishments we currently have, now has food available. They could take a walk around Trentham Memorial Park if they are dog fanciers. If the couple are looking for fine dining or a four-five star accommodation then they are probably stretching their luck though Wallaceville House is the best we can offer. And we do have some cafes who give you real Wellington quality coffee. And when its open there is the Devonshire tea barn in Te Marua where their scones are so good that it's a compulsive stop for circuit cyclists.

Is Upper Hutt a better city to visit than Invercargill? Tim Shadbolt would say no.

Hi Team,

What else would you like to see the council doing for the community?

The Library and recycling arguments aside that is. I have an issue with cars being parked all over footpaths and berms when we have some of the widest streets in the Wellington Area.

Our services run under the berms and footpaths and these lazy people who park like this are risking damaging them and causing ratepayer high costs to repair them, aside from that i feel it looks ugly.

What do you think?
