This weeks SPCA pet is Cruise.

"Hey, I'm Cruise and like my name suggests, I am a very chill dude who is happy to make friends with both humans and dogs. I am confident, curious and full of beans when I'm not by your side or enjoying some zzz's. I would make the ultimate exploring companion for the outdoorsy type and I am bound to keep you on your toes with activities all year round. Still being an eager young lad, I have been learning how to walk nicely on lead and how to stick close off lead for some excellent hiking adventures. I thrive with the company of other dogs and am wanting a canine brother or sister to go home to as I don't want to be left alone for the day. I'm not suitable for a home with young kids but I love to meet all sorts of people. Unfortunately I'm not able to go to a home with cats or small animals. I'd make a great family dog or a companion for a solo owner. I am a boy who loves to cuddle up against you and enjoys going on outdoor adventures with you and your existing dog."

I’m kinda over hearing reckless, dangerous, wheel spinning driving travelling way to fast in and around Paraparaumu and just general selfish brainless driving.

I understand this problem is everywhere but I’m setting up cameras and will be reporting this to the police. I’d appreciate the power of the people (no doubt I’m not the only one getting over this issue) to join in project “pull ya head in”.
Hey I love Motorsport and cars but don’t be a dumb arse, get a go Kart or use Mansfield race track and really enjoy/push it plus it’s way more fun!
If you think the local streets is your play area you will get reported!! I know I’m up to a no mercy no excuses point. I will also be taking plates and ensuring your car /bike is under the appropriate decibel level. Maybe we could start up a neighbourhood nuisance car drivers register? Good old name and shame!
Looking to plant bamboo on boundary - around 3M high. The 'leafier' the better! To fill an area about 6M by 1M. Uncommon is good! Black? Happy to dig out and transport. THANKS!
Excellent condition like new. Is 5 years old but hardly been used, only selling as I replaced it with a front loader washer dryer combo which fits better in my kitchen. The load capacity is 7kg and is 600mm wide.
Please contact me if you are interested. Thanks Natasha

We can thank Pete Seeger for the song and Louise Thomas for the picture, and description of a black fronted tern.
"Continuing on with the rare terns that have been randomly turning (terning) up on the Kāpiti Coast, this is a juvenile black-fronted tern/tarapirohe (Chlidonias albostriatus) - a bit of a standout among the white-fronted terns because of the orange legs (and smaller body). As he gets older his beak will turn orange too. In breeding plumage the cap goes black all the way to the bill. They are apparently reasonably common in the South Island and have often been recorded wintering around Wellington, but this is my first time spotting one. Plimmerton on Sunday. Bird #61 in 2022."
