Dog minder wanted
Hi, we live in Remuera and have a lovely natured, docile 11 year old Yellow Labrador, Bella.
We are looking for someone who is able to care for her (as if she was their own) from time to time, either in their home or ours, sometimes just for a day and sometimes for several days.
She is trim and healthy, but slowing down with age. We walk her for 30-45 mins in the morning and 15 minutes late afternoon, otherwise she sleeps for most of the day.
We do not leave her alone for more than 3-4 hours, so this would suit a retired couple or someone who works from home.
Happy to discuss daily rates.
Many thanks
Vicki
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Does anybody know a place in Auckland which takes possum fur?
Hi, my neighbours
One of my friends just caught a big possum from his garden.
He wants to ask if anybody knows a place to collect possums.
Or what he should do with it.
Kind regards
Betty
