Lost at PN Hospital Poogle Pet (Healing mascot)
For the past 10 years my Mother has been though 8 major surgeries and many many smaller procedures and hospital visits.
Through it all (even into the surgery prep room) Pooch / Poogle has been her healing mascot - given to her by her Grandson for her first surgery.
On Monday 30th September she was admitted to Ward 28. Pooch was faithfully with her. When she left on Wednesday 2nd October she couldn't see him anywhere. We have been to lost property at the hospital many times and no-one in the ward seems to know.
It is now obvious someone has Pooch - perhaps a child picked him up?
Please - if you know the wherabouts of Pooch help. It is so very important healing Pooch gets back to his owner.
Pooch is a Neopet Mac Donalds toy - about the size of an apple (sits on your hand) made of soft foam and yellow fabric

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
