DOG REGISTRATION
I was appalled when two weeks ago I found a small white fluffy dog stray, just walking along while walking my own dog. I stayed with it having called the owners number, then called the Council and waited about 30 minutes for a security company PPS to come and collect her. The man who arrived picked her up face on, by the head - and she screamed in pain. I said "Is she injured? I didn't notice any injury on her before"... The man said "I don't think she liked the way I picked her up!
This is now two weeks ago and I have called the Council to have Animal Control contact me - but no such luck. When i pay as much as I do for Dog Registration, I expect anyone sent by Council to pick her up to be trained in how to do so without hurting her.
I am extremely upset at what i witnessed and then that NO ONE has had the decency to contact me from the Council.
Why do we pay so much for this type of service??
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.2% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.6% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
