THANK YOU
Big super thank you to Animates vet care Waikanae and to all that contributed to the givealittle page I set up a while ago to help my dog
Girl lost her fight with cancer on Wednesday at 6pm at home in my arms thankfully and was fast and peaceful but hard to deal with.
It's even hard writing this but you all need to be thanked for the extra time my companion was with me, that's priceless
Thanks again to Animates and my bro for dealing with cremation for me as I could not even speak or reply to what's happening
Hopefully when I pick up her ashes I might be able to have a conversation and fill them in properly and thank them for the help over time ,,I'm not the easiest person to deal with but they look after Girl and me well,,,,RIP MY GIRL and thanks all for the support
Sorry for the sad post
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
