There have been a lot of bird and animal stories on Nieghbourly but this picture by Andrew Gorrie is too good to ignore.
This week we feature the exquisitely named Socrates Wolffram who belongs to Anna Wolffram. Have you heard of a better name for a dog?
"Socrates Wolffram from Carterton doing what he does best. Lounging, chilling, relaxing... generally living his best life on the couch."

Ben is the youngest person to win the New Zealand Open Men’s Tenpin bowling championships, a tournament he initially entered just to gain experience – bowling against people with more training and who were nearly twice his age.
Not only does he stand out for his age, he is also a two handed bowler.
When Ben is not at school or at home, he trains at North City Tenpin in Porirua for up to 15 hours a week.

"This is Cranford, who is the proud "guard cat" of St Paul's Waiwhetu, where he is a familiar face around the church property. He is pictured beside his "Cat cave"- he sleeps in it almost all year round.
He resides at the St Paul's Vicarage; with his four staff- Karl, Mel, Maiah and Poppy. Cranford is also a proud graduate of the SPCA in Wellington."

"I have come such a long way from the scared frightened little kitten found on a farm with my sister. I am now looking for a wonderful home where I can continue learning about this big wide world.
I will be quite worried in a new environment, so I will need an understanding family who is willing to give me the time to adjust. I would benefit from someone being around for parts of the day or another like-minded cat for company. I try to be brave and once I know you, I will really enjoy your company. I will just need time to get to know you. I really love the attention I get from my caregivers, so I know that in time, I will get to really appreciate you too."

Whittaker’s co-chief operating officer, Holly Whittaker, says having more than one filling in a block is a first for Whittaker’s and something a bit different from the way other chocolate flavour combinations are produced.
Recently named the Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand for the tenth consecutive year, Whittaker’s also celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. It will be available for a limited time only in supermarkets nationwide from Monday June 21.
Are you going to try it and are there any other flavours you would like to see combined into one block?
