Flo has got a new home, courtesy of the SPCA.

"Flo the Bunny has settled in really well with us. She bonded pretty quickly with our other bunny, Jupiter, and they are now good bunny-buddies. While Flo weighs about 50 per cent more than Jupiter, she seems to have agreed that Jupiter is in charge of the bunny zone and so all is pretty amiable! Jupiter does give in and groom Flo from time to time but it's pretty clear that he's the boss! Our bunny-loving kid is thrilled with Flo and Brendon the vet has also given her the big tick! We're thrilled to have her in our whānau."
Moxie was once a feral cat but is now dearly loved by Liam and his mum Sue of Masterton

It's that time of year - we all get a little nostalgic for Christmas' past. My grandad wasn't exactly the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but he sure wanted it over and done with. Would love to hear your reminisces.
This should not be too much of a mystery! Who is this and what are your memories of him?
Hopefully this lovely picture will give you something to smile about on Christmas day. The proud dad is Gareth Ashurst.

"This is Sam, our nine weeks old, rescue kitten now living in Waikanae.
Kittens are supposed to sleep for 18 to 20 hours a day....I think Sam needs a new clock as he never sleeps anywhere close to this and seems to spends all day running round at top speed!"

Tatiana was a really timid girl who has really come out of her shell since finding a new home courtesy of the SPCA.
"You might be as shocked and as surprised as I am to know how well Tatiana is doing already. She's out of her box most of the time and is now running to me when I call her … View moreTatiana was a really timid girl who has really come out of her shell since finding a new home courtesy of the SPCA.
"You might be as shocked and as surprised as I am to know how well Tatiana is doing already. She's out of her box most of the time and is now running to me when I call her for lots of headbutts and head rubs. She's very chatty and is becoming comfortable walking around, exploring the house, and sitting on the windowsills and watching the world already. I chose the right cat, she's quite a character and is actually quite a brave, young lady."
Another beautiful pic from Louise Thomas.
"So cool to see a bellbird (Anthornis melanura), aka korimako, today. I can't remember the last one I saw - possibly around Christmas time, when I snapped one in red mistletoe at Mt Ruapehu. My daughter actually spotted this guy. "Mum, look, … View moreAnother beautiful pic from Louise Thomas.
