Dog
Would anyone have any recommendations what to with our puppy. She’s been outdoor her whole life as she is a farm dog. So we thought we would keep it that way. We are puppy proofing our property as she can fit through heaps of gaps through our fence. It’s a bit of a job. My husband built a little run so when we are out she can be in there (not tied up) but she can jump it! Gosh they grow fast. She escaped to the beach this morning and I had to run with my 7 month baby in one arm chasing her. Just managed to get her. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can contain her while we sort the yard. She has kennel but we don’t want to lock her in as she will need the toilet and a little running space

Cyclists forced to use ‘more dangerous’ crossing if cycleway closed
Closing a Christchurch cycleway to avoid an unsafe rail crossing will lead cyclists across an even “more dangerous” crossing, cycling advocates say.
Transport Minister Simeon Brown has weighed in on the issue, calling the move to shut a 1.5km section of the Heathcote Expressway for up to two years, “illogical”. He has asked KiwiRail to explain.
KiwiRail is demanding Christchurch City Council close part of the expressway until $6.5 million worth of safety improvements can be made to the Scruttons Rd rail crossing.
It said the “unsafe” crossing posed the risk of death or serious injury once every thousand years.
