The blogger, Abby Plested, says now expecting their third child, the couple was unable to take care of the dog. The SPCA says it's fairly common for dogs to be surrendered to the SPCA when they are adolescents, but warns people against adopting a dog without considering how their family environment might change in their pet's lifetime. What are your thoughts on this? Have you had to rehome a pet? Let us know in our poll below! If commenting, please write NFP if you do not want your opinions published.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
