Rosie
Hi everyone. Our family have finally moved to our new rental 2 weeks ago. It has been really exhausting, but i am glad it's over.
Unfortunately, we lost our beloved Rosie. She got really sick and never regained consciousness and past away 28.02.2021 at 4 o'clock in the morning. Our family really really miss her around.
I have asked the owner of the AVS (Auckland Vet Services) that they and all clinics should provide emergency care during the day as well as the night and to not turn pets away, just because they can't give an appointment. At present the only emergency vet available is the night time one, if you live out west,in Rosebank road.
It's really appauling how we had to wait until 2 o'clock in the afternoon that day before they could see her. By then it was too late.
I hope something gets done and soon.
By for now Julia.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
