The SPCA says a new $300 fine is helping to spread the warning that people should not leave their dogs in hot cars.
What do you think - is the message getting through to dog owners?
The big cats at Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary have been rubbing against, chewing up and lying on old Christmas trees donated to the park. Is there a better way to use Christmas trees after the big day? What did you do with your Christmas tree?

A spate of fires since New Year's Day has prompted fire fighters to consider a total fire ban from next week. They say a lack of rain and drying winds has dried up the ground. What is it like where you are? Are you hanging out for rain?

Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.
While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.
We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.
If this sounds like you, please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.
Come join us and meet some purrfect kittens ready for their furever homes
When: Sunday 9 February
Time: 10.00 - 12.00
Where: Scallywags Doggy Daycare (behind Pet Essentials) 32B Commerce St
