Walking our dogs in summer on hot concrete & hot sand beaches
A reminder on behalf of our four-legged friends: footpaths and sandy beaches in the summertime, heat up way too much for us humans to roam bare-footed, so please spare a thought for your four-legged friends. FACT: If your feet fry on the beach/concrete so will your dogs paws. Please share this reminder with whananu, so that hopefully they'll consider the heat of concrete, ashphelt & beaches before exercising their dogs on these surfaces. FACT: Dogs-paws-aren't-made-for-concrete, nor are their limbs and joints. The heat created by the friction of a dog's paws connecting with concrete, when owners jog with their dogs is a double whammy in summer time. Please kindly share, where you think best, to raise awareness on behalf of all the doggies out there.

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
