SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Camilla

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Hi everyone, My name is Camilla and as you can see, I am a very beautiful girl.

I love attention and cuddles and in addition to provide people with lots of love, I enjoy going for walks where I can show everybody how beautiful I actually am. My forever home would be a home where in the beginning someone would be by my side most of the time. Then I can get used to your routine and my new environment. I would benefit from continuing my basic training, which I've started at SPCA. I've done well so far with getting used to new people and new routine, but I need my new owner to continue the training with me, so I can become an even smarter doggo. I can be very shy with new people, particularly tall men or loud strangers. My new home would need to be a home with confident older kids or teenagers. My new owners will need to introduce me to new people slowly, as the world can be scary at times, and I haven't had too many people to trust in my previous life. A home with a confident, patient dog may work well for me. I enjoy playing with other social dogs. Unfortunately I am not suited to a home with cats/small animals."

A “GHOSTLY” SOUND IN KAPITI?

Music aficionados everywhere appreciate and love the complexities of top-flight chamber music. This is music written for and played by small groups of musicians, each instrument having its own part to play within the whole, the result being the beautiful sound we hear. In earlier times “chamber” music was just that – music played in people's homes for their own enjoyment. Nowadays, chamber music is heard in concert halls and on recordings too, but it still works best when the musicians are close together and close to their audience to appreciate the live sound.

Ghost Trio is a group of such musicians – Monique Lapins (violin), Ken Ichinose (cello) and Gabriela Glapska (piano) and they will be appearing soon at the Paekakariki Memorial Hall as part of the 2022 Mulled Wine Concert series. Organiser Mary Gow is delighted to have such a fine group playing on the Kapiti Coast. “They are a fairly new group” she says “formed in 2019, they have been getting rave reviews wherever they go”. The group has recently toured nationwide for Chamber Music New Zealand and were commended for their elan and unfailing attention to musical detail.

The trio is international in outlook – Monique is the second violinist of the NZ String Quartet and lectures at the New Zealand School of Music, Ken is a graduate of the UK's Royal Academy of Music and Gabriela is from Poland, where she received her first degree, later studying for her Ph.D degree in music at the NZSM. She is the rehearsal pianist for the Royal New Zealand Ballet. The group will present an interesting mix of music at its concert on Sunday 19 June. The great masters will be presented: Beethoven and Brahms will be featured, of course, but along with these will be more modern composers – Eve de Castro-Robinson's “At Water's Birth” and the Piano Trio of Fauré.

“A feast of sound for the discerning listener” is how the organiser describes the concert. The venue will be the lovely sea-front Paekakariki Memorial Hall which offers stunning views of Kapiti Island to match the wonderful sounds within. AND FREE MULLED WINE.



====================



Mulled Wine Concerts present GHOST TRIO: Monique Lapins (violin), Ken Ichinose (cello), Gabriela Glapska (piano) . Paekakariki Memorial Hall, 96 The Parade, Paekakariki 5034 on SUNDAY 19 June 2022.

Before her I had Harley for 9 years. Greyhounds are perfect pets: they are affectionate, don’t smell, are very relaxed and need very little exercise. They are not called couch potatoes for nothing!"

Meet Ivy, who is looking for a new home.
"Hi there my name is Ivy and I am looking for my forever home. I am a super smart dog so would love a home that is keen on taking me to obedience classes and furthering my training. This is help me become the best companion I know I can be and this also provides me with enrichment. My new home would need to have someone around for most or parts of the day as I am not used to being left alone for long periods. I would love a home with kids that are confident around dogs as I can be a bit bouncy when interacting with people. My new home could have a dog, one that is social and is happy to share their home and people with me. I have yet to be cat tested. I do come with a medical waiver my home family would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the home for you click apply to see if we are a match."
