We’re asking all Christchurch residents to save water so we can end temporary chlorination sooner.

The less water we use, the faster we can upgrade our wells. It all adds up, and we really appreciate people’s efforts.

The biggest demand for household water comes from garden sprinklers and irrigators. A better option is to use a hose with a spray gun, or a watering can. Better still, water only on alternate days between 9pm and 7am, when it's cooler.

Dog ownership has soared over the past five years, outstripping the growth in people in all the main cities apart from Auckland.

The country is home to more than 560,500 registered dogs – enough for about one in nine to be a proud owner. That's a pooch for roughly every third household.

They are Labrador X Border Collie both from the same parents born a year apart. They love walks and going to the groynes dog park. They are lovely natured and are used to children and other pets, we've had rats and currently have rabbits and a cat. They seldom bark unless someone is coming up the driveway. There are well behaved and Macguyver attended puppy school. They are both registered, and microchipped and neutered and are up to date with all their vaccinations. It's a really difficult decision to rehome my boys but they only deserve the best. Please reply to this message if interested or would like any further information. Thanks in advance Jeanine
