Keeping Dogs Safe Over the Christmas/New Year/Summer period
Many may not realise unless following the Pets Lost and Found Register/Dog Rescue Groups that a large number of dogs and puppies across the country are mysteriously going missing from their own backyards which is heartbreaking. If you are heading out and leaving your dog at home alone, just a word of caution, please ensure your property is secure and your canine is safe, including in this hot weather, access to shade and water.
For those new owners of little puppies, be vigilant with the Christmas presents, puppies love to explore and chew and sadly many end up at vet clinics, suffering ill effects as a result of having consumed small objects that end up on the floor during our Christmas celebrations.
Merry Christmas all.
Poll: Have you ever had copper/building materials stolen?
Julie Guest woke at midnight to the sound of copper being stripped off her church - and startled the perpetrator.
The exhausted vicar was sleeping on-site at St John’s Church, Te Awamutu, amid a string of thefts in her patch, “trying to be the policeman as well as the priest”.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
