Dog

Shaz from New Brighton

Would anyone have any recommendations what to with our puppy. She’s been outdoor her whole life as she is a farm dog. So we thought we would keep it that way. We are puppy proofing our property as she can fit through heaps of gaps through our fence. It’s a bit of a job. My husband built a little run so when we are out she can be in there (not tied up) but she can jump it! Gosh they grow fast. She escaped to the beach this morning and I had to run with my 7 month baby in one arm chasing her. Just managed to get her. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can contain her while we sort the yard. She has kennel but we don’t want to lock her in as she will need the toilet and a little running space

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
