"I have Buckley and Bhodi who both love pats so much and meeting new people on our walks around Karori. Mostly like being around home and having their besties Millie and Pixie pug over for a play but when we get to the beach it’s sand baths and zoomies."

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.

Firstly she convinced us to join her on a cruise described as being akin to riding a magic carpet around Wellington Harbour except we were not allowed to wear our stilettos.
Then she spent some time talking to those who manage the weather. However, despite doing a great job in getting some 50 of us to join the cruise, on the weather front she did not score so well. While all from Rotary arrived at the gangway attired in the closest they could find to sub-Antarctic clothing, the Captain of the good ship was dressed in shorts although no floral shirt! Nevertheless, Jenny must have convinced those weather people as conditions at sea improved significantly and despite a few wobbles the voyage was pretty comfortable and the cold not so intense as to produce frostbite.
Navigation officer was another task for Jenny and this produced an outstanding view of Wellington at night (enjoyed by President and President-Elect Kay and Denise) as we sailed from Queens Wharf to Evans Bay (cast off by Captain Anne-Marie) and then back to a comfortable anchorage in Oriental Bay. In this role, Jenny's skills were well-honed as we appeared to hit no land or unintended objects. Wellington at night is arguably as spectacular as any city in the world so the magic carpet cruise had an element of truth.
The last but not the least important task was her role as catering officer and this produced a constant supply of food from the time we cast off from Queens Wharf. You could not have gone home feeling hungry!
The cruise provided a great opportunity to catch up with other Club members and partners and the noise level in the cabin and even on the stern attested to the success of this.
There was no formal club business although with some difficulty in breaking the sound barrier President Kay made a gangway speech thanking Jenny for a great night and all her work in organising it.
"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."
