Have you experienced the first night of having a new pup at home?
They bring you so much joy, along with worry, anxiety and sleepless nights when you first get them home but you hope that with some shaping, they become chilled out, well-rounded dogs. The first night is tough on all parties, usually with the pup whining and crying, while you tough it out or cave to its demands. Do you remember the first night you brought you pooch home? What was it like? How old is your dog now? Share you stories with us, we love puppy yarns!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
