EVENT: Dog Day fun
Out & About
On Saturday morning April 1, the Picton Vet Clinic hosted its first ever Traffic Light Bandana dog walk and fun day, organised by vet Christine Mackenzie. Dog owners were out with their dogs in the sun, enjoying their dog in the company of others, while encouraging communication and control at dog parks, and avoiding accidents and altercations. The four colours of bandanas owners could choose from were green, yellow, orange and red, indicating a dog’s feelings and conditions, the message being always to ask before interacting with any dog.

EVENT: Hospice shop celebrates
Marlborough Hospice Shop volunteers and supporters met last Friday afternoon to celebrate the opening of another extension to their shop in Redwoodtown. They have taken over what used to be a secondhand furniture shop at the end of their block. It is the third extension that has occurred over the years since they opened 15 years ago.
Largest to smallest: 16-month-old Bailey, the Great Dane, was the uncontested leader of the pack in Saturday's line-up. "Because he's still learning manners" said owner Ruth Heron as she selected an orange bandana for him.
No prizes for guessing where this dog’s owner came from.”Bonnie Lassie”, half chihuahua and half chihuahua Griffin cross, was having a day out with Arthur Coutes.

When you open your eyes, you’ll think you’ve been transported to a more exotic place. For a moment, at least. The solid pine design, in white with grey accents, also give it a modern, light feel. You might just want to crank the heating up a bit, for the full tropical experience.
