I was just thinking, now don’t get the wrong idea, it doesn’t happen often. A man at my time of life should have a sports car, so why have I recently bought a people mover instead? 7 seats when I only need 2 (one really, but don’t tell anyone) Actually a motorbike would do nicely. […]
As a homeopath based in Napier I see people with chronic and acute illness every day. It never ceases to amaze me how this form of natural, safe, effective medicine has the ability to trigger the body’s innate ability to heal itself and often within minutes, hours or days. The medicines are mainly made from […]
Establish a relationship with the best Vet you can find. Depending on the overall condition of your dog it may be advisable to have it checked every six months. Your Vet should be someone whom you trust and with whom you feel very comfortable. Educate yourself about the conditions common to older pets and the […]

It is hard to imagine that a weed, some advice and cup of tea could lead to expenses in excess of $150. Add Lilo to the scene and it becomes a lot easier. It all began with a weed – Kikuyu to be precise. In fact it was turbo charged monster Kikuyu which had established […]
How to begin to describe the ten amazing years with my gorgeous boy Boxer? I guess start at the beginning which was a phone call from GAP telling me they’d found me a dog. I was in Wellington at meetings all day. Never mind Jacqui says, you could do a one-way car hire and drive […]
The first thing Fern (previously Nelly ) did when she arrived at her new home was wrestle and ‘kill’ her bed. In fact her entire first week (which I had taken off work ) was full of fun and games. I spent a bit of time training her to accept her kennel and run in […]
Outreach Therapy Pets is strong in Waihi with our group winning the team trophy for attendance over the last year. Beyonce has been involved for the last four and half years and Rihanna for three years. We take them on the first three Fridays of the month to a Hospital, and two Rest Homes in […]
