This week it is Zoe.
“The adoption has progressed really well with our little Zoe. Before we went to pick her up, I had a whole list of elegant princess type of names to rename her, but now that she has fully settled in, we have come to realise she is quite the opposite of that and more of a mischief cheeky troublemaker.
After a couple of weeks of slowly introducing each other, Zoe and her feline brother have gotten along a lot better than we anticipated. What she lacks in hearing she definitely makes up in with her voice and all the random noises she constantly makes. We bought her a large expensive cat tower and of course she much prefers to sleep and play around in a paper bag, so that has been fun being woken up at 3am with her rustling around in the bag.
Her new favourite area of the house is the bathroom where she loves to sit on the bath for hours and watch the water slowly drip out of the tap or go and rip up every single piece of toilet paper. She is constantly making us laugh and is so full of character and is loved by all our family and friends. Thanks so much for everything.”

They used their equipment and told us that they have cleared any blockages but there is some concrete build-up at one point in the drain which may cause the issue again. No super-urgent action was recommended with further action necessary may be in medium-term i.e. not within days. However, the same problem happened 3 more times within less than 2 weeks. They came two more times, each time to do same work but the drain was not fully cleared. We were very disappointed with their work as their focus was not on resolving the issue fully. It was more limited to just pointing out the likely cause of the problem i.e. concrete/glue lip buildup within the drain. For coming 3 times in 10 days and still not fixing the root cause of the issue, they charged us: $672.75, $531.84 and $404.80 totalling $1,609.39 (incl GST).
Just three days later the toilet was again blocked and water was not flushing down the drain. This time we decided to call Marty Leslie (027-668-7581) of Leslie Drain Clearing Ltd. Marty did his intial investigations and was quick to locate the junction box in the front lawn which W&G Drainage did not locate even after 3 visits and $1600 of work. Marty could then insert the camera and drain clearing pipes from the junction box for closer examination of the part of the drain where stuck concrete/stones were rather than the camera etc coming all the way from the gully traps. He then removed some stuck up wet wipes/paper, identified a spot where most of the concrete pieces were stuck and removed all of the concrete/stones. He spent about two hours in all and made sure that the drains were now clear all the way up to the council drain. There have been no further issues since then. Leslie Drainage charged us $402.50 which is far more reasonable having fixed the root cause of the issue that was causing blocked toilet.

Randy and Gene live in the Lower Hutt suburb of Avalon.
"Brothers Randy and Gene chat to Grey Cat through the cat flap (social distancing). Randy and Gene run a muck through the Avalon neighbourhood with their pal who often sneaks in and eats their food.
Randy likes to watch keep watch of all the goings on in the neighbourhood, he lives in Ferretti Grove, Avalon with his brother Gene and human mum and dad (Kaye and Alex). Randy is a very friendly and curious little boy and enjoys making new friends - I know this due to the text messages I get about his whereabouts - usually napping at the neighbour's place."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say what suburb you live in.
Dr Maggie took yesterday off to have her jab...but she has returned to have a good round of sport on her own backyard.
SMILES and walks around my suburb.
