Community steps up when someone failed to?

Cara from Ngaruawahia

Sad to see someone took it upon themselves to deposit five young pups out near a car park on waingaro road to fend for themselves.

Kudos to fab locals who spotted them scavenging rubbish roadside and responded. Despite efforts last night, even in wind and rain in the dark, pups weren't successfully retrieved until this morning. Super responsive community people (plural) caring enough to make someone else's pups a priority.

Now safe from the perils of stormy weather, no food source, traffic and a likely tragic demise.

Someone is responsible for these pups. A mum dog out there who undoubtedly needs desex.

Instead of dumping pups to fend for themselves - there is a drop
box by the council pound where they can be safe and secure at the very least. People - if you don't want the responsibility of pups, desex! If you have an accidental litter, own it and take responsibility - do the right thing by pups and mum - which is not dumping roadside!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Walking path & not one facility I could find to give a dog a drink of water.

Shezz from Ngaruawahia

Council. I would like to suggest that a dog drinking post or two be erected, with a metal bowl below and a self stopping tap to top it up, to give fresh water to thirsty dogs who accompany their owners on this pathway. Perhaps a water fountain at the top for the owner as well. Thank you.
