TO EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT ANIMALS

Lois from Red Beach

PLEASE HELP THIS SMALL DOG
Does anyone know of a VERY large man who is looking after a small white Bichon dog for his sister?

IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO LEFT HER DOG IN HER VERY LARGE BROTHERS CARE PLEASE ASK HER TO CONTACT ME OR PLEASE CONTACT ME YOURSELF.
I WITNESSED THE MAN TORMENTING AND HURTING THE LITTLE DOG ON THE GRASS AREA OF OREWA BEACH ALONG FROM THE RSA MONUMENT AREA ON SATURDAY 21 December.
Unfortunately I was holding my own small dog and could not intervene physically.
He threatened that he was going to kill the dog.
He said he was "looking after it " for his sister.
I will be grateful if anyone who knows of a lady who left her Bichon in her LARGE brothers care could contact me please as I would like to inform her of what I saw and urge her not to trust her little dog in his care again.
THAT IS IF THE POOR LITTLE CREATURE IS STILL ALIVE.!

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!

You are never alone

Katie from Stanmore Bay

This year, I was given news that took the wind right out of this solo mum’s stomach: I was diagnosed with two types of curable breast cancer. Even writing those words still feels surreal.

I’ve recently completed five rounds of radiation, and while that chapter has closed, my journey is far from over. I now take daily medication — which, if I’m honest, comes with its own wild rollercoaster of highs and lows — along with monthly injections and six-monthly IV infusions.

All of this while raising two incredible, energetic tween boys who are full of wonder, life, and light. They have been my anchors on the darkest days and my reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I’m sharing this because, in the New Year, I want to create a support group for anyone walking this path — no matter where you are on your journey. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, finished treatment, or supporting someone you love.

Let’s build a village.
A place to lean, to cry, to laugh, to talk openly, and to remind each other that none of us have to do this alone.

Because the story doesn’t end when they tell you you’re “in the clear.”
In many ways, it’s just the beginning. 🌻
If this story touches your heart, and you’re on this journey too, feel free to message me. Even a quiet “me too” is enough...
