My son has been looking after him for the last 6 months but is now moving into a flat in town and can't take Puma with him.
Puma is about 12 years old, very cuddly once he gets to know you and your voice, but equally happy to be outdoors most of the time. No current health issues, just needs fed, watered, patted and loved. If interested please call me on 021 972 702, Thanks Sue

Waikanae River now has no warnings with no toxic algae detected in recent sampling. The Otaki River levels have dropped from a "red" to "amber" level - remember this means caution is still needed when exercising dogs in these areas, as it can be deadly for dogs if eaten.

In some parts of New Zealand they are considered an invasive weed.

Regional council chair Daran Ponter said the proposal was in response to increasing demand for park and ride facilities, and the cost of constructing multi-level parking buildings to meet that demand was prohibitive.
The proposal to do away with free park and ride spaces, is in the Greater Wellington Regional Council's draft Regional Public Transport Plan 2021-2031. Submissions close at the end of today (Friday).

I'm 74 and have an e bike which I would enjoy more with company. I can't commit to a club because I have stuff to do for my grandkids at varying times. At the moment I prefer bike tracks as I find busy traffic unnerving, but I might improve with a buddy... I enjoy riding to neighbouring towns. I live in Paraparaumu Beach. Cheers, Richard 0274846546
