Animals in cars

Andrea from Mission Bay

Hello everybody. Well we have had some very hot days and i find it upsetting to see dogs in cars at the supermarket with just a little bit of window open.When a dog is hot they will pant and this is to regulate the breathing,sometimes it works but if it doesnt pour some cold water along the back of there spine. A little bit of window wound down will still make your dog very hot and stressed and that is because dogs only have 2 places with pores that breath,that is there paws and nose,unlike humans who have pores all over ,so leave your dog at home because they will be more comfortable and dont forget to leave fresh water out and if having a barbecue dont give you pets hot food off the barbie,let it cool first.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Cycad needs new Home!

Andrew from Ellerslie

We are about to get the outside of our house painted - and have decided this Cycad needs to go. I've started the recommended process for transplanting - trimming a portion of the fronds - but note that the best results require the move to new location to be as fast as possible. Before I start the root bulb work, is anyone local interested? I see they are listed at hundreds of $$ - but happy to discuss. It needs to go.
