Rosie
Hi everyone. Our family have finally moved to our new rental 2 weeks ago. It has been really exhausting, but i am glad it's over.
Unfortunately, we lost our beloved Rosie. She got really sick and never regained consciousness and past away 28.02.2021 at 4 o'clock in the morning. Our family really really miss her around.
I have asked the owner of the AVS (Auckland Vet Services) that they and all clinics should provide emergency care during the day as well as the night and to not turn pets away, just because they can't give an appointment. At present the only emergency vet available is the night time one, if you live out west,in Rosebank road.
It's really appauling how we had to wait until 2 o'clock in the afternoon that day before they could see her. By then it was too late.
I hope something gets done and soon.
By for now Julia.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
