My beautiful cat Woody was mauled and killed by a roaming dog who entered our property at about 12am on Monday morning.
He was a beautiful, gentle, loving cat that we rescued from the Huntly Vets 9 years ago, along with his relative Guthrie. The dog was chocolate brown and possibly a boxer x. I saw the dog going down the driveway next door, belonging to a group of housing New Zealand properties.
My mother and I approached one of the houses, but they said their dogs didn't fit this description. They also didn't think anyone else around there owned a dog like this either. My mother contacted animal control today. My error was in leaving the gate open and not bringing him inside. I will always hold myself responsible for this.
We live in Peachgrove Road in Fairfield. Please keep an eye out for any roaming dogs and call animal control if you see them. Shut your gates and bring your animals inside. I don't want to happen to anyone else's precious pets.

Common sense has to prevail in lots of ways, but there are a number of simple things we can do to protect ourselves, and guard against airborne germs, as well as helping our bodies and immune systems to stay strong.
Where to start fighting the bugs?
The first step toward staying healthy is to choose a healthy lifestyle. It’s the
most simple and effective way to fight away bugs and germs.
Every part of your body, including your immune system, functions better when it
is supported by healthy-living strategies such as:
- a diet high in fruit and vegetables
- regular hydration and exercise
- adequate sleep
- good hygiene (eg, washing your hands frequently)
- low stress.
Day-to-day protection
Supplement a healthy lifestyle with these common sense daily practices so you are one step closer to protecting yourself and your family:
- wash your hands frequently
- clean home and work surfaces regularly
- cover your mouth and nose if needed
- don’t share drinking and eating utensils.
Stay Absolutely Immune
An added layer of protection
If you want to be extra sure, and add another layer of protection against seasonal ills and zealous bugs, then using pure, organic, therapeutic essential plant oils to build up the defences is a great place to start.
We all know this, but sometimes we have to remind ourselves.
You know that our Absolute Essential products offer a naturally effective
way to keep the family strong, healthy and safe.

They are also quite a large investment, which is why it can be so upsetting to either watch a stain being formed or find a dried food stain.
A lot of people assume that suede, and faux-suede, are difficult to clean due to their fuzziness, but this could not be further from the truth. In this article, we will show you how to protect your couch and how to remove some common stains but, before that, it is good to understand what suede is.
What is Suede?
Suede is a soft, supple type of leather made from the underside of an animal and is mostly used for creating bags, shoes, clothing, and furniture. The warm and fuzzy texture of suede comes from all of the small, raised fibres (or nap), which cover the outside of the leather.
What is Suedette?
Suedette is a man-made alternative to natural suede. It is usually made from cotton or rayon, which has been given a suede finish. This is a great option for those that want the look of suede without using animal products or for those on a budget.
How to clean a suede couch
Cleaning a delicate fabric like suede may seem like a nightmare but, with a little bit of care and attention, you can keep your couch-stain free and protect it from most of the wear and tear caused by daily life. Follow the instructions below to find out what you’ll need, as well as how to clean suede.
Before you start
• Use an upholstery cleaner specifically for suede;
• Always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions before cleaning;
• Make sure that the room your suede couch is in is well ventilated; open windows and turn on any fans;
• Use a painter’s face mask if it is difficult to air the room, or if you’re worried about the aerosol cleaner;
• If you have a new couch or are trying out a new cleaning spray, always test the product in an unseen area to make sure that your chosen cleaner does not affect the suede.
Things you will need
• Furniture cleaner for suede;
• A suede napping brush (these can be found at most shoe shops);
• A suede rubbing cloth;
• A vacuum cleaner;
• Brown gum eraser or a suede eraser;
• A dry sponge;
• Optional – a waterproofing spray or stain repellent; although these are optional they can help protect your couch for longer.
Weekly cleaning tasks: Cleaning a suede couch can be a daunting task, especially if has not been cleaned in a while, but maintaining that beautiful couch can be made a lot easier if you include it in your weekly cleaning schedule...
