There were certainly stars in my eyes in early July. You see, TV host Simon Barnett, SPCA Inspector Sue Baudet and I were filmed for a special SPCA television programme.
I spent an hour and half with Simon and Sue in the Auckland Domain while the filming took place. They were delightful and patient, and gave me lots of praise and treats. I was completely star struck.
It was a bit tricky sitting still and not getting into mischief every time the camera was rolling, but I was very good. Some tourists even stopped to watch the action.
At one point, I was sure the sound man was carrying a microphone boom covered with a fluffy treat specially for me. So, the next time I was sitting quietly between Simon and Sue and the sound man held the fluffy thing near us, I quickly and quietly stepped forward and pulled at the fluffy treat, taking it with me back to my place on the grass. Everyone was laughing at my cheekiness. I wasn’t to know that it was a microphone protector and not really a treat for me.
I must be coming up one year old soon, and I’m looking forward to celebrating with a big bone, like this:
And then I’ll probably have a big snooze in the winter sun, like this:
I hope all’s well with you, as it is with me.
Love from Polly xx

this is probably not the right place to leave a comment but i went to SPCA page and could not find 'contact' button. I am concerned about the mother dog in Invercargill who had the puppies taken off her. The journalist on the news said the dog was back at home? And the mayor said it wasn't registered? The owners of the dog should be 'named and shamed'? Has the mother dog been desexed? I am also going to write to the invercargill council. I want to know if the owners were fined for not registering the mother dog? I want to know if the mother dog has been de-sexed since the puppies were taken off her? What about the state of the mother dog? she be depressed now.She shouldn't be allowed to return to ppl not looking after her properly.
