Could you be my new fureverrr home?

Annie and Vaughan from Hamilton East

Vaughan and I have made the toughest decision and decided it would be kinder to our dog Otis in the long haul to find him the best family possible.
He was an spca rescue pup that we got from animates (had arrived from the spca 2hours before we got him). He is about two years old.
We think he is a Bearded Collie X he is 26kilos. Making this decision has been weighing heavily on our minds since our son was born, as we thought our son was never a possibility, and it is heartbreaking because it is literally rehoming a member of your family. We love this dog and just want the best life possible for him.
Ideally he would need a fully fenced section, farm or big yard and has to be allowed to sleep inside, He is a fantastic dog and is very loyal and loving to both Vaughan and I.
He is upto date with Vacs, rego and is desexed and microchipped.
Fantastic guard dog! But very gentle and loving.
He is very good with our son who is six months, however, when we have had other children here he follows them and trys to jump up.
He just wants to lick us and oliver all the time and loves cuddles (just not around his man bits or when he is over tired).
He knows how to sit, shake, down, catch, watch, road, walkies, car, up, down, off.. etc, we have been working on ‘come’ and ‘quiet’.
He is toliet trained. He is Great with Other dogs and has been attending a doggie daycare since he was 16weeks old.
Ideally he would need a bigger section (fenced), farm, or someone that could take him on 2 big walks a day as he is high energy. He would need to sleep inside and we have his crate, indoor bed, blankets and pillow (if new owners would like) we also have an outdoor bed and a bucket full of toys (including ball gun).

Please email me k.gra@hotmail.com or message me on here with a little about your home, life and some details if you feel you or someone you may know is interested in having loving this dog.

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
