SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Peggy

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

“Hi, I'm Grandma Peggy. I am a very loveable, sweet and gorgeous old girl. Since I arrived here at the SPCA, I have been in foster care with my lovely foster mum, who has showered me with love and affection, and has allowed me to let my personality flourish. I melt the hearts of everyone whenever they come in to see me, even my caregivers. My favourite things to do during my day, is to sleep outside on my bed on the verandah (even when it's a bit chilly), and when it's sunny, I like to follow the sun. I would love to go to a home where there may be a big backyard I can lay in during the day (when I'm allowed outside), or somewhere that gets a lot of sun during the day. Because of my long fur, I will need help maintaining it, especially as I get older. Luckily I enjoy having my fur brushed. I will love to be able to spend time with my new family during the day, helping out in the garden, or sitting with you on the couch watching a movie together. Because I am an older girl, I do have arthritis. This means that my joints can sometimes be a bit stiff. I may not do well in a home with a lot of stairs, and I may eventually need help getting up onto things. If you have room in your home and heart for me to live out my retirement years, please make an appointment to come in and meet me. I do come with medical waivers my new family will need to be made aware of, but we can chat about this when you come to meet me “

Mobility parking

David from Rangiora

My wife has a disability.
It astonishes and concerns me the number of people who illegally park in a disabled parking lot without displaying a disability card.
I realise that there is a fine of $150 for parking on a council park (if caught) but no control or penalty for private disability parks such as Supermarket and Gym parking lots.
This means that disabled people have to park further away and walk to their destination using a walker or other support. This happened at the gym yesterday, where a disabled person had to walk a long way to get to the building due to inconsiderate (illegal) parking.
What do you think?
