Bosco is home!
He's home!!! I received a phone call at lunch time today from the Redwood Vet Clinic to say Bosco had been brought in. Thankfully a lovely lady called Claire had been looking after him for the past week and took him into her local vet, yes in Redwood, over 10km from our house! Bosco is microchipped so once they scanned him they were able to ring me and give me the good news. We think Bosco hitched a ride from Wigram to Redwood (a 15-20 minute car ride away!) He has been known to get into just about anything so this doesn't surprise us! Marty was able to go and pick him up this afternoon - unfortunately I'm in Kaikoura for the week working! While Bosco was missing we had plenty of ups and downs. The hardest bit was not having any idea if he was okay, but what really helped was the support from not only our friends and neighbours, but from complete strangers. So from the bottom of our hearts we thank you! Thank you for those comments "oh he will be okay you will get him back". Thank you to our neighbours and their children who have been out searching. Thank you to the random people out walking in our neighbourhood who took a flyer I handed them. Thank you to complete strangers who shared Facebook posts or sent us a nice message. And thank you to Claire who took care of Bosco! I have yet to get in touch with her but are hoping to meet up with her at some point to thank her in person.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
