Pet safety in this hot weather

Chris from Fairfield

Hi everyone, I don't know about you guys, but I felt sick hearing about the 26,000 chickens dying in our recent on going hot weather. I'm not having a go at this poor person who lost these chickens, I just think it's a timely reminder to us all. I have a couple of rabbits who really love to lick a frozen bottle of water or a large ice cube. I just add water to a small - medium container freeze it & wow they love licking it. I do the same sort of thing for our chickens. I add a frozen bottle of water to each of their water containers & they really love the cooler water. As for my border collie Buddy, he loves crunching ice cubes, loves having cool showers & loves the multiple shadey areas he has access to. Buddy & the chickens & the rabbits (inside their 3 teir enclosure) love hanging out in the cool areas. I have a saying "if you are hot & bothered & reaching for that cold drink, think about our pet friends who are also hot & bothered, also needing some cool relief". Hey have a safe one.

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!
