Dog Owner Etiquette.

Tracey from Green Bay

To the woman in Seddon Fields with your 2 dogs who stared at me condescendingly while I struggled with my leashed reactive dog, thanks so much for your empathy while you proceeded to throw the ball right in front of me several times to your unleashed dogs...perhaps you should consider being kind instead of judgmental. Yes, my dog was barking at yours and lunging but no, you are not aware of the fact that I have recently had surgery and had difficulty holding her because of the pain in my arm. You also don't know that my dog is reactive through no fault of her own because of unleashed dog attacks and has in fact been to several renowned dog trainers to help her with her anxiety. Your rude stares and lack of compassion when seeing another dog owner struggling, was not something to feel proud of. If I see another dog owner struggling, I always try to make the situation easier for them, not more difficult as no one knows the owner or dog's circumstances. Your attitude sucks.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Chrstmas light show

Murray from Henderson

Hi everyone.
I have put my Xmas lights up and am currently doing the final testing.

There are speakers out so you will be able to hear the music that goes with the lights.
As last year, I will have my shows running from 1st of December until 31st of Dec inclusive.
As I have neighbours, Please respect them and their properties.

Show times will be,
Sunday to Thursday 9pm to 10pm.
Friday and Saturday 9pm to 10:30pm.

Last but not least the address.
28 Harrington Rd
Henderson.
