Friday Feathered Friend

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."

Retails for $599

Manufactured in 2019 and purchased late that year. With lockdowns and travel restrictions, this carseat has barely been used. Originally purchased for Nana to use in Palmerston North when our son would visit (which he managed to do twice).

Our son says it is comfortable and perfect for sleeping in too.

The child restraints are installed in the rear of the car and can only be used forward-facing. They are installed in the car using the car seatbelt and the top tether strap attached to the car’s child restraint anchor ?tting. This Car Seat is designed to be used by children from approxi­mately 6 months of age up to approximately 8 years of age.

This Child restraint has also been designed with ‘TWIST & LIFT” which features deep side wings that shield and contain your child’s head in a side impact crash. The TWIST & LIFT system is designed to be adjusted as your child grows which automatically repositions the harness at the same time.

Click on the link below for safety instructions and more about the carseat.

Pick up is in Khandallah. I can deliver within Wellington and Lower Hutt (please ask in the message section first for additional delivery cost and where you are).

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Peach

Although we have featured Peach before, she is struggling to find a new home.

Although we have featured Peach before, she is struggling to find a new home.
"Although I didn't look my best when I first arrived at SPCA, it didn't take long for me to settle in and start looking healthier and happier. I charm most people I meet, and have lots of love to give. I can be a bit over the top when first meeting other dogs, but have gotten to make some friends and get to win them over with my exuberant greetings. If I were to go home to another dog, it would need to be one who is social and still eager to share playtime with me as an older dog may get annoyed with me. I am better suited to medium to large male dogs so this is my preference for a home. When it comes to training I come across very goofy at first, but am very motivated by treats and have started to pick up training easily. I'd like to continue training in my new home and show you what I'm capable of achieving. Although I can be full of beans at times, I really do love a good cuddle and chill out time with my humans, and once I have a good routine I am sure to flourish in my new home. I am so full of character and bound to provide you with lots of laughs. History of my previous homes is unknown, and for this reason combined with my personality, the team is looking for a home for me with confident children over 10 years or adults. I am looking for a home without cats."
