Hello, Neighbourly friends! My name is Champ. I am a sweet boy that loves to play and enjoys cuddles. I have made friends with everyone here at the SPCA and would love to settle into my forever home.
WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
I listen well. I know my name and have an understanding of basic training, I feel I can be trained further with the right owner. I am very eager to please.

I love cuddles and the presence of people and dogs. Although, I can feel insecure in new situations and in unfamiliar places. Once I experience more of the world, I will become more confident. I wouldn't mind having another dog to play with and don't seem to be bothered by cats, I mostly want to say hi and try and play! Because I can be unsure in certain situations, it is best that I live with older children, teens or adults that are experienced with handling and playing with dogs.

Of course, I am one of a kind! I have a slightly abnormal hindlimb conformation which is likely due to genetics. This doesn't cause me any issues, however is something a new owner needs to be aware of as it may mean I don't live as long as most other dogs.

Any serious adopter is encouraged to discuss this with one of the vet team to fully understand my medical history. Any new home would be lucky to have me, I do hope people don't overlook me because of this. If you think that you're the right home for me, contact the canine team!

What is retrofit double glazing?

Hi there! Hope you're all having a nice day
Today we are here to talk about retrofit double glazing. But what is it?
The name kind of gives it away, right? Anyway, it is the process of replacing a single glass pane with double glazed units, filling the gap between the panes with a poor conductor gas or leaving it under vacuum.
But why would you do it?
The gap between the panes acts as an insulator (for more info, ask a chemical engineer about heat transfer in different materials xD) keeping the heat inside and therefore reducing your power bill as well as making a small (but important!) step towards a more sustainable planet. During summer, the opposite happens, it keeps the heat out and your house cool.
There are other benefits, like reducing noise and condensation inside the house
Check out our website no8recyclers.co.nz..., there you can find more info and see all the many other workshop services that we offer

Cheers!

Residents and workers at the Woburn Masonic Care facility are facing an uncertain future.
A proposed two-year project to rebuild the facility could result in 56 residents having to find new homes and some of the 45 staff finding new work.
Masonic management has said some staff could be redeployed to other facilities and there are existing rest homes in the Hutt Valley that could take residents.
Management says the facility opened 53 years ago and no longer meets modern standards.

Wellington City Libraries is launching a poetry journal for kids and teens — Tūhono.
Throughout the month of November, they will be accepting submissions of poetry from writers aged 5 – 18 in Wellington City. The theme for the poems is ‘Tūhono | Connection’ and may be written in English or te reo Māori.
Unlike other poetry journals, work accepted in Tūhono is not a competition — as long as the rules are followed, every piece of work that gets submitted will be published and available to borrow from the library in December 2020.
Tūhono itself — the collection of poetry from young people all over Wellington — will be published as an eBook on OverDrive, so that everyone with a library card can borrow it.
