Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I'm writing a story about CCTV security cameras on homes, what's the best system, how to install them, and whether or not they're a useful deterrent.
I wondered what you thought about private security cameras. Are they good for the neighbourhood? Or a sign troubled communities?

I wondered what you thought about private security cameras. Are they good for the neighbourhood? Or a sign troubled communities?
If you've got a strong opinion about them, drop me a line and let me know what you think.

Dog companion wanted

Jackie from South New Brighton

I would like to offer a loving home to a canine companion for my dog Grace, who is a lovely natured 7-year-old Bichon X Jack Russell. Grace (pictured) has always been part of a two-dog family, and since having to put Rocky (15 years old) to sleep in February, we are both lost.

I would like to offer a loving home to a canine companion for my dog Grace, who is a lovely natured 7-year-old Bichon X Jack Russell. Grace (pictured) has always been part of a two-dog family, and since having to put Rocky (15 years old) to sleep in February, we are both lost.
I prefer a small-medium breed, not needing excessive grooming, or excessive exercise, though daily walks on the beach are the norm. I’m not wanting barkers or ones with aggressive or antisocial behavior, and I would like to view your vet’s records.
I am retired and spend most of the day at home. Most of my dogs have been ‘rescued’ and I am used to gently easing them into our quiet lifestyle.
It would have to share with two friendly cats on a small well fenced back section close to the beach.
A trial period would be required, but a spoilt inside life is guaranteed.
Please email - jackie.minchin@xtra.co.nz
