Have you seen missing dogs Dice and Weed?

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

The owners of two dogs that went missing nearly six months ago are asking Marlburians to keep thier eyes peeled, following potential sightings in the region.

Dice, a 9-year-old black poodle, and Weed, a 3-year-old black and white fox terrier cross, were first reported missing from the Otago Peninsula by their owners Alan Funnell and Louisa Andrew on October 17.

Andrew said on the first and second day New Zealand went into level-four lockdown in response to Covid-19, there were two potential sightings in Kaikōura. There was also another potential sighting in Picton last Friday, April 3.

"It's very difficult, we had a sighting in Kaikōura, which on day one of lockdown sounded really promising," Andrew said.

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!
