Friday Funny: 😄🐕My Dog lives like a king🐕😄

Fiona from Henderson

I Just Realized Something:

• My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
• He has his food prepared for him.
• His meals are provided at no cost to him.
• He visits the Vet once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
• He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
• If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
• He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
• He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
• He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
• All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks ~ MY DOG IS A POLITCIAN!!!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

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!
