I lost my best friend & companion beginning of last year & I have been lonely without her and I think its time that maybe I should be looking for another furry friend. Jess was an English Springer Spaniel & quite biggish, but I've had cocker spaniels in the past and I would like to get another (or similar) as a smaller dog would suit my lifestyle better these days :) I have a private and well-fenced house in Kaiapoi.
If anyone can help or advise me would be appreciated. Thanks to all, Lynda W.

Council utilities and roading manager Gerard Cleary said there was no need for people to be concerned if their drinking water was supplied by a council reticulated water scheme.
