Doggie did-you-knows for 2022
We've been making our lists and checking them twice for all kinds of doggy-related treats for you this silly season.
We've discovered the most common dog breeds in Kāpiti are labradors, with 1,100 – more than twice our second placegetter, Staffordshire bull terriers, on 473! In third spot are our 444 border collies.
Our most pup-ulous township is Paraparaumu, with 3,199 canine residents. Next up is Waikanae, where 2,073 pooches make their home, and in third place is Ōtaki, with 1,322 doggos.
And finally, the most pup-ular Kāpiti puppy names of 2022 are:
2nd equal – Luna and Buddy
And in first place – Molly!
Well done those Good Dogs!! 🐶 🐕 What's your favourite dog or puppy name?
Paper Shredding
I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.
Just let me know if you want some.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
