Yay for the first egg after their winter downtime. They are a cross breed that lay delicious and very pretty green shell eggs, but they don’t lay over the short daylight months. Hence my excitement 😊

I am a technophobe and I like to be in control.
But...I'm getting older and maybe a bit wiser, and I want to have more time for me.
So, I've finally given in and done it.

Online booking is now available.

It will still be me behind all of the bookings, so you'll still get the same option to text, call or email me.

We see a lot of potential fire risks and have met a number of people who have experienced house fires.
One very stark quote that I'll always reminder is "fire is just looking for an opportunity to kill you".
Don't give it one.
Stay fire safe by making sure you have working smoke alarms, keep a meter from the heater, and if in doubt, have your chimney cleaned out.

Brrrrr! Many parts of the motu are feeling the cold, which means there are fires and heaters cranking in lots of households today!

So, this is a reminder to keep a one metre clearance around your heater or fireplace. Soft furnishings such as blankets, clothes, beds and couches don’t need to be touching a heat source to catch fire, if they are too close, they will burn!

🔥Hot tip: If you’re unsure, measure it. Remind yourself how big a metre is because ‘she’ll be right’ won’t cut it!

Most of you know that I love animals but one of my favourites are hedgehogs. Dunedin Hedgehogs are the main port of call when someone finds one of sick or injured, and no one else will help.

I've just voted to help this local charity get some much needed funds. Can you help too?

They need 20 votes before the end of this month to stay in the running. MyGivingCircle is giving away $500,000 in grants.

Don't forget to have your chimney swept!! Fires need to be swept regularly for safety and to make sure they work efficiently.

If it has been a while since you last had it swept and checked then please book it in.
We see so many fires where early intervention could have saved time, money and a lot of stress.

Please contact us, or your regular sweep, to make sure it is safe and performing at its best. An inspection and sweep is $100 for most parts of town.

If your favourite heat source is your fire then make sure it's in tip top shape by having us check it and sweep it regularly. At least once every two years is good, or yearly for gold standard.

We were once called the "fire doctors" by a wee lad, which is kinda true, because we help keep you and your fire safe in the same way as regular visits to your GP. We pick up on small things that can become bigger problems if not identified early.

This is because we not only sweep the chimney, we check the fire to make sure it is in good condition and discuss all the wee things you can do to ensure its safety and efficiency. Small tweaks can make a big difference over the course of a season, and most people learn at least one thing that could save them money.

If you'd like to book in the cost is $100 for most parts of town.

Birds are the losers today with the news that new draft guidelines will prevent practitioners like Avian Empire from providing telemedicine.

Avian Empire are utterly amazing and literally save bird's lives. I would not have been able to care for our birds in the way that they deserve to be cared for without their help.

Please show your support of our feathered companions by following Avian Empire and signing the petition below.

In these uncertain times, I find that animals bring the most comfort...
Here are some of the wee faces who have helped to balance the crazy.

We muzzle Norma when she is off lead or when around other dogs - not because she is dangerous, but because she is a dog.
She is SUPER quick (cos she's a greyhound) and she startles very easily. She is the sweetest, loving, and shy girl but she could do some serious damage if things went pear shaped, and we know that there is always that possibility.
Muzzling her means that she can enjoy her outings more because we feel more relaxed and she is protected in case something goes wrong.

Whether we like it or not, the season is changing and it's a great time to have your fire swept and checked.

We've already come across at least a dozen unsafe fires this year, and we know there are likely many more out there.

Having it swept and checked by a professional is the best way to ensure you have a safe and efficient fire for when the colder weather arrives.

Our pricing is $100 per fire located within for the Dunedin area.
