Hi all.
A friend went home from mine via Calgary Street about 40 mins ago (12am) and saw what she thought was a Dalmatian (with black and white spots) wandering the street alone. Posting in case someone is missing and searching for their pup!

What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?
Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.
Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.
Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

Animal refuge New Beginnings Rescue and Rehoming has until Friday to find “forever” homes in Auckland for the free-range birds which are due to be culled.
At 18-months old, the brown shavers were moulting and having a breather from egg laying, said Dani Prance, who runs New Beginnings Rescue and Rehoming in Taranaki and Auckland’s Rodney District.
“They can still lay eggs but they've reached their use by date for farmers.”
Prance has found homes for about 900 hens from the farm and is desperate to see the rest relocated so “they can live until they’re ancient and die of natural causes.”
“Normally we’d easily find a lot of homes in Auckland but it’s dwindling down,” she said.
Free-range hens face over crammed conditions with limited food and no grass, Prance said.
“You find girls that are definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. They're super skinny and you can see all their bones.”
But they flourished when they got to their new homes, learning quickly how to scratch and forage for food, she said.
“The best feeling is when you pull a hen out of one of those farms and get to put them down on grass and you just watch the amazement in them.”
They made great pets, she said, as they became friendly and ended up following their owners around.
“They’ve just got amazing personalities.”
The adopted hens have been re-homed in a variety of settings ranging from suburban town houses to 20-acre blocks.
“Some people want to fill up community food stalls with eggs, or you get home bakers that do a lot of baking for the community or Meals on Wheels and just want to be a bit more self-sustainable,” Prance said.
Chickens live eight years on average, but hens only productively lay eggs in the first two years of their lives.
Anyone interested in adopting the hens- from collection points in Dairy Flat, Wharehine and Bombay- can email newbeginningsrescue.rehoming@gmail.com or message the rescue’s Facebook page.

With places limited to just 45 children, it is a small and nurturing centre that will fill up fast.
Aukilani Kids is different to most childcare centres because it operates more like a traditional kindergarten, specialising in children over two years old with an educational programme focused on preparing children for school. As well as offering a bilingual Samoan experience the centre also has a faith-based programme.
Private and secure, Aukilani Kids has an outdoor area full of mature trees and equipment aimed to inspire and challenge pre-schoolers. With so many leafy places to explore it feels more like a park than a childcare playground. One of the many highlights of Aukilani Kids is the huge car park which guarantees drop off and pick up is never stressful.
Aukilani Kids is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Get in touch and secure your child’s place.
