Amale guinea pig named Jenan Dark<br />
Side of the Moon won two awards at the<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Guinea Pigs’ Double<br />
Winter Show last Sunday.<br />
The two <strong>North</strong> Island judges for the<br />
dualshow event, which was held in<br />
Woodend, both voted the glossy little<br />
cavvy ‘‘Best Satin’’ at the show.<br />

the high sheen on their coats which is<br />
unlike the normal shine seen on other<br />
cavvies.<br />
Jenan Dark Side of the Moon, or Red,<br />
as he is known by his owner Joan Clack,<br />
of Rangiora, was one of 50 guinea pigs<br />
entered for the show.<br />
He was bred by <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

SPCA Cupcake Day<br />
The SPCA is encouraging animal loversto<br />
‘‘bake adifference’’ for thousands of<br />
animals again this year by supporting the<br />
charity’s13th annual Cupcake Day on<br />
Monday,August2.<br />
SPCA’s Cupcake Day fundraiser<br />
suffered the effectsofthe Covid19<br />
pandemic restrictions.Asaresult, just half<br />
the number of usual participants took part<br />
in the fundraiser,resulting in asignificant<br />
funding shortfall. SPCA is the only animal<br />
welfare charity in New Zealand that is<br />
mandated by Government to enforce the<br />
Animal Welfare Act, but it receivesa<br />
fractionofthe funding required to run its<br />
Inspectorate.This year the SPCA requires<br />
additional funding more than ever,due to<br />
the Covid shortfall and Government<br />
decliningthe Inspectorate’s request for<br />
additional financial help.<br />
Funds raised will be used across New<br />
Zealand to aid the charity’s Inspectorate in<br />
rescuing animals and investigating welfare<br />
complaints, and to help rehabilitation and<br />
rehome animals. People wanting to take<br />
part can register to bake and sell as an<br />
individual, team or school at www.<br />
