The Whanganui District Council has been warning dog owners to keep pets away from Otamatea Reserve or at least on a leash, after the dog died of unknown causes following a visit to the area. The dog had been sent to Massey University for tests but it isn't known whether the results would be made public.
The council was in contact with the owners of the dead dog and warnings had been put out. About three months ago, the Whanganui Chronicle reported several dogs had fallen ill after being walked at Otamatea Reserve.

The Ministry for Primary Industries said Nelson-based FSL Foods Ltd recalled a specific batch of Fruzio brand premium mixed berries "as the product may contain foreign matter (metal)".
The affected berries are sold frozen in 1kg plastic bags and have a best before date of June 22, 2021. They're sold in New World and Pak'nSave supermarkets, as well as Gilmours stores in the North Island.
The product is not exported and the recall does not affect any other Fruzio products, MPI says.
If people have brought the berries they should check the date mark on the back of the product. Affected product should not be consumed, is the advice given on the MPI website. Read more from Stuff here.

Last year saw a national shortage of Swan plants, the main diet of Monarch caterpillars, causing a large number of the population to be wiped out.
Yates is getting behind the drive to avert a similar crisis this year by giving away various free butterfly friendly seeds including Yates new Butterfly Field Mix seeds between 1st and 14th October. Just register here during this time to receive your packet of seeds.
A national planting day will be held on 20th October. Plant a Swan plant or other butterfly friendly plants in your garden, in your neighbour’s garden, at school, in your local community garden – and let’s help Monarch butterflies flourish.
National Gardening Week aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature.

Just putting this out there in case there is any interest...
I am currently available for any pet or house sitting required in the area. I am experienced with many types of animals, from cats, dogs, horses, chickens, pigs, fish and reptiles (we have quite the zoo at home ourselves!). If you are planning a trip away from home and need some peace of mind that your critters will be well looked after then please contact me. I am happy to work with whatever requirements your pets may have.
I am 23 years old with my own reliable vehicle and I am honest, trustworthy and reliable. I have references available if required.
If you are interested, please let me know,
Thanks :)
Kim
