Been letting my old horse free-range munch my lawn whenever he wants & he's taken to "parking" himself in the garage for naps.

Do Aucklanders have recommendations for exceptional cobblers who can be trusted with fixing/restoring precious vintage shoes? These are very important to me and need a little TLC. Thank

So dear pupper Sprout left us yesterday age 15. He grew up with my kids and spent his later years shadowing my elderly Dad.
He’s got a good spot on the lawn looking out to sea now. RIP Sprouty, you’re a good boy.

Thank you 😊 She left us in 2023 aged 83.
I loved all the stories I’ve been told by people she worked with and taught. She was smart, irreverent and a bit naughty.

He was in the US when Covid hit and became one of the notorious “dirty dozen” (the top 12 disseminators a fake Covid information in the world).
He refused to pay the people looking after his horses in NZ and they became rescue cases.
