Walking dogs in the middle of the day
I started noticing more people out in the middle of the day walking their dogs. Okay so what's the problem you think.
Well firstly most of the dogs I've seen are not on the grass next to the path they are on concrete and asphalt paths which can be very hot. I should know as I've walked on an asphalt path in bare feet for about 15 mins, I received 3rd degree burns on my feet for my own stupidity!
Secondly lately it's like 20+ in the shade and we are not even in summer yet, could you not walk them in the morning to later in the evening?.
If you won't walk barefoot on foot paths/roads then your an idiot to think it's ok for your pets to so.
so why don't I speak up when I see someone well it may cause an abuse response to mind my own business, or the really now annoyed walker may carry on just to spite and may take this out on the dog(s)
So please if you need to walk your dog during this time put them on the grass areas and take a water bottle so you can give them a drink or cool them down

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
