Attached is a photo of my sweet dog Maddie, an 8 year old Norwich Terrier. Maddie came into my life about 15 months ago to heal my heart after I lost my JRT called Pippa four months previously. She settled in immediately and is my joy in life. Loves her walks, her treats and cuddles on my lap. She’s just perfect in every way.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Carlos

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Hi everyone, My name is Diego and I am a very stunning young boy. I am a great dog who loves to have cuddles, I love to have humans around me.

I am a great dog who loves to have cuddles, I love to have humans around me. Due to my young age I would be better for me to go to a home that has no young children. I can be a little shy with new people and then I am a bouncy bean. I would be fine for me to go to a home with teenagers.
So far I had a little bit of training, I am a bit uncoordinated and jumpy. With training, we both need to start from scratch. I am very willing to learn. You will see me blossom from an uncoordinated boy to a very well trained dog that will stick by your side. I need to be introduced to the world slowly as it can be a little overwhelmingly for me. I am great with other dogs at the centre and love to play. A home with a slightly older dog would mix well with me, so they can show me the ropes on how to be the best dog. If you are a ready for a new man in your life, please click on my profile and my heart could be yours forever."

"Believe me, madam, I am just as surprised to see you, but don't have the same feelings of delight. You will forgive me if I now turn and run screaming into the bushes. Common pheasant/ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) - a very brief surprise encounter yesterday on the path beside the Waimanu Lagoon in Waikanae. Bird #72 in 2022."

Mute swan (Cygnus olor) at Henley Lake in Masterton - nobody has written a poem about this guy. Interesting aside - I read "Stop all the Clocks" at my father's funeral many years ago, it is still one of my favourites. Knowledge of swans aside, Auden was a genius. Bird #78 in 2022."
