For 18 months, Nikki Guthardt’s thought her cat was probably dead. She’d even mourned over what she thought was his body.

But then, the cat came back.
Romeo the cat was last seen running out Guthardt’s front door not long after her family shifted to Upper Hutt in June last year.
Month after month she posted about Romeo, asking people to keep en eye out for him on community pages and lost pet registers.

The three boys – Elia and Rumi are identical twins while Sameer, or Sam, is their non-identical triplet – were delivered by Caesarean section in Wellington Hospital in that order at 11.49am, 11.50am, and 11.53am on Friday.
Their mother, Dina Wahid, can't praise the staff at Wellington Hospital enough.
Happy New Year to everyone on Neighbourly. This week we feature Rosa Marie, who took her camera out on Christmas Day. You have got to love the picture of the pied stilt chick!

This week we feature Rosa Marie, who took her camera out on Christmas Day. You have got to love the picture of the pied stilt chick!
"Before the festivities began, it was a quick drive over the Pauahatanui Inlet to try and capture some Kingfishers on camera, but it turned out to be Pied Stilt kind of day as we couldn't see any Kingfishers. Most of these photos are taken from one of the hides! There were Pied Stilt chicks too so their parental concern was quite evident from lots of noisy flapping of wings at other birds when they got too close. They were quite grumpy with each other too!"
Hi Neighjbourly folk, I am doing a story on the various colours pohutukawa and rata come in.
If you have any pics or know where any yellow, orange or white variants are, I would love to hear from you.

His new dad Roger shares how Ralph is settling in.
"On day one of our adoption trial, we drove home together and Ralph held my hand the whole trip home (how cute!).
That evening as we were heading to bed after sniffing everything in the house, he leapt onto our bed, burrowed under our blankets and dozed off. We hadn’t even turned off the lights! From that moment, we knew this was meant to be.
He is a sweetheart, he has opinions, he loves to cuddle on the couch, he likes rides, he likes walks, he likes our other dog, Bandos. Ralph may be deaf but that does not stop him from living his best life. We love Ralph and we wouldn’t change him for the world. He’s also well-loved by his new aunties, uncles, grandparents and great grandparents!
We are sorry that Ralph took a bit longer to find his new forever home but are happy that he found it with us."

"She entered SPCA care after being seized from a property due to a cruelty complaint and was subsequently surrendered. After weeks of rehabilitation, she is ready for her new home. Xena is a very sweet mare, who loves attention and meeting new horses and people. She is good to graze with others but doesn't stress if her paddock mate heads out for a ride without her.
She is good for farrier, vet, covering (even in Wellington winds!), leading and feeding. She has been floated, but is still a little anxious loading so would benefit from some additional work in this area. We understand Xena was ridden for most of her life but hasn't been for the past three years. Xena would make an excellent addition to a family wanted an older, kind horse to keep their youngsters' company. Xena has grazed with sheep with no problems.
She is a good doer and put on weight easily once put on grazing. Xena has had a dental, been vaccinated (Strangles and Tetanus), drenched and vet checked."

I am looking for someone with a van (or station wagon?)who can help me tomorrow (27th) to bring a few things from a storage in Taita to Whitemans Valley.
The biggest item is the top of a standing desk which is 2 metres long (and won't fit in my car). Besides that, I need to carry a rolled-up futon with dismantled base and possibly a few boxes.
Cash payment.
Thank you!
