they’re sort of acting up a little<br />

bit in multiple different ways as<br />

well,” she said.<br />

Ms Cusiel said this is also<br />

the case for one of her dogs, a<br />

huntaway border collie cross<br />

named Leo.<br />

“Obviously, all dogs are on<br />

leads at the moment, so when<br />

we’re out walking he [Leo] is<br />

getting very frustrated and little<br />

things that he wasn’t worried<br />

about before just tend to be<br />

worrying him now.<br />

“There tends to be a bit more<br />

of a reaction from him just<br />

because you can see this built-up<br />

frustration, this tension,” Ms<br />

Cusiel said.<br />

One of the main key reasons<br />

some dogs may be acting<br />

differently, is the routines for<br />

Ms Cusiel’s advice is to ease<br />

dogs back into the routine they<br />

will be in once their owners are<br />

back at work.<br />

She said this may involve<br />

reducing the number of<br />

times they are walked a day if<br />

this has been more than usual<br />

recently.<br />

The SPCA has also given<br />

advice on preparing pets for<br />

when life returns to normal,<br />

saying it is also important to<br />

make sure companion animals<br />

get some alone time.<br />

“We suggest taking<br />

some walks without the dog,<br />

leaving them at home alone.<br />

If you have more than one<br />

dog, it may also be a good idea<br />

to occasionally walk them<br />

separately so that they are<br />

comfortable being apart,” a<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

Rolleston Sallies<br />

deliver 250<br />

food parcels<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

THE SALVATION Army in<br />

Rolleston has delivered about 250<br />

food parcels to households in the<br />

district throughout the Covid-19<br />

pandemic.<br />

A spokeswoman said they are<br />

working in partnership<br />

with the district<br />

council’s Civil Defence<br />

team to deliver food to<br />

vulnerable people in the<br />

community.<br />

“We have also been<br />

available to the community<br />

as a contact point<br />

for information, and<br />

Al Lawn<br />

we’ve pointed about 50 people<br />

towards more appropriate places<br />

to get the help they need.<br />

“This is way more than we<br />

would normally be able to do, so<br />

the support of the Civil Defence<br />

team has been crucial,” she said.<br />

The Salvation Army is receiving<br />

referrals for food parcels from<br />

the district council<br />

“We have added the district<br />

council’s referrals to the list of<br />

people who have reached out<br />

directly. In return, we reach out<br />

when our supplies are low and<br />

the team helps by sourcing more<br />

food supplies.”<br />

The spokeswoman said they<br />

we are seeing a growing need<br />

amongst people who have never<br />

needed our help before,<br />

as they navigate through<br />

rough waters that include<br />

job and income loss, isolation<br />

Said district council civil<br />

“One of the strengths of<br />

this response is this linking<br />
