Record number apply to become guide dog puppy trainers after appeal

Mildred Armah Reporter from Manukau Courier

An organisation which trains and provides guide dogs for vision impaired New Zealanders has received a "record" number of applicants seeking to temporarily house new puppies.

On Wednesday, Stuff reported that guide dog charity Blind Low Vision NZ needed homes for 40 puppies in the next three months, with only 10 homes being confirmed.

The impacts of Covid-19 and the cost of living crisis had affected both staffing and volunteer numbers, said Rochelle Corrigan​​, puppy placement and development manager.

Think I was scammed today

Derek from Papatoetoe

Hi everyone just a warning that I think I got scammed today. Went in to buy an extension cord came out with 4 pillows 3 sheet sets. 6 new towels. A frying pan a toaster. A electric jug. Dinner plates knife fork and spoon set it seems like they put everything on special and made the lay out off the store so I had to walk past everything before I got to the product I went into buy. Watch the Black Friday deals

Christmas up date

Derek from Papatoetoe

It’s Gem Here. I just like to give my owner Derek a big thank you. For putting up his Christmas tree and decorations he bought me my very own couch. My flat mate Bonnie wants to try it but there is no way I’m letting her on it. It’s so beautiful and comfy
