Met Fig, a one year-old mixed breed at the Wellington SPCA.
"My name is Fig and I am looking for my forever home. I haven't had the best start to life so I am eager for a second chance at happiness and love. I am looking for a home that has had experience with dogs before. I am a smarty pants so would love a home that has the time and patience to channel that energy into training, which I have not had prior to SPCA. I can guarantee I will pick things up very quickly. I also happen to be very food motivated. My new home would need to have someone around for parts or most of the day as I am not yet used to being left alone for long periods. I would thrive better in a home where I have company. I have proven to be a bit of an escape artist so my new home would need to have high fencing at least 2 meters."

Fourth Covid Vax A No Brainer

Covid on a giant upswing had been predicted some months ago and it has come to bite us here in Aotearoa. But only a little in most cases if everyone adheres to the common good.

Omicron and its latest variant BA5 is quite rampant and easily catchable.

A fourth vaccination jab to deflect at least the worse of Covid for each individual person is now becoming available in NZ.
So get the second booster when you are able even if it means going out of your way.

And the mask thing is becoming even more critical not less even though the mask is being disregarded a lot more just lately. Most people are tricking society in wearing or not wearing a mask. The tricks are - wearing masks that are rendered largely useless, and people fending off wearing one by implying a legit exemption. "Met" a few of these at a local supermarket a few days ago.

The spike in people contracting Covid, those being hospitalised and those succumbing is also mixed in with people contracting influenza and a person getting Covid and the flu or a heavy cold can finish with severe results.

So the flu vaccination is of course very important and is free to a large section of our population.

Some people will be getting the Covid virus for a third time. There is no known limit.

It was also predicted that everyone in NZ will eventually get Covid. And it could very well be that right now some 4 million out of a population of 5.2 million currently have or have had the disease.

Angela McLeod​ is hoping to defy history to be elected mayor of Upper Hutt in October.
The third-term city councillor is hoping to unseat Wayne Guppy, who was first elected mayor in 2001.
Upper Hutt has only had two mayors since 1977 – Rex Kirton and Guppy – and there only has been one female mayor – Doris Nicholson – from 1971 to 1977.
McLeod is campaigning on the need for change, after being the highest polling council candidate and narrowly missing out on the mayoralty in 2019.
