Woofstock woos pooches: Milford, Auckland

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Are you and your pooch as glamourous as Mrs Cullen and her poodle?

Get dressed up for photos with your dog at the iconic Woofstock festival next month.

Head down to Milford Reserve on November 22 to celebrate your favourite canine and to help animals in need.

Paw Justice is running the free event from 9 am to 1.30 pm with a 1.5 kilometre walk along Milford Beach, entertainment, custom choppers and American muscle cars on display.

Animal rescue groups will be there to talk about the many shelter dogs needing a new home.

You can walk with one of the rescue dogs- or even adopt one.

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!
