WELLY Coming to welly for the day

12 Upvotes

Hey hey im coming down to welly for the day!

Anyone know piercing or jewellery shops in wellington (city or surrounding places, as long as a train/bus goes there) that i can go to? Not Michael Hill or whatever type jewellery, but i also dont want Lovisa type stuff. Usually its the stuff sold at piercing shops (if its got a specific name i cant think of it).

Anything fun i should go or do or see or places I should eat while im there, as well? I wish I could bring my lil doggie with me to the city. She can go on buses in my city but she cant go on commuter buses or the train even if shes in her little bag. One day I will show her the coast line and watch her lose her shit.

I'm new to Wellington and had a look online where i could find a place where you can hang out with dogs sadly to no avail, but I'm wondering if there is any grassroots knowlage that anyone has about local areas that does have a place like that in a cafe setting, i know there a cat cafe but i love dogs so it would be nice to find a place to hang out with them for an afternoon.

How Ngati Toa are getting 16 town houses on this site is a mystery but what a view. And they rent them out @80% market rate.

HELP! Sedated dog groomer

10 Upvotes

*EDIT: Found a local groomer whiling to help retrain him with grooming, minus doggy drugs. Appreciate the quick response from people who knew what I was after :)

*EDIT: I missed details: vet/groomer combo. My vet has both and assumed all vets did.

Hey I have a Maltese x shitzu 5 year old with aggression with being touched. This had lead to a lot a behavioural training etc.

His fur gets matted and he gets more annoyed the longer it gets. I can’t brush him let alone try to trim him. Just wondering if anywhere locally does sedated grooms? I’ve been quoted $800+ from my vet however I have done this twice before and they don’t groom him, more trim around his paws and doesn’t resolve it. It’s just a lot of money and I’d rather spend that where he can get a full body trim.

Any recs? Cheers

Is there a shortage of 'I Voted' stickers, or is only a Brooklyn issue? Might seem a small thing, but I think it encourages others to vote.

HELP! Bass Guitar Rental

4 Upvotes

Kia ora! I'm looking at picking up bass guitar to learn and play Rocksmith with.

Are there any places in Wellington City that offer bass guitar rentals?

There's a couple places that do it via delivery, but I'd rather hand it back in person, to avoid any damage through courier.

Any advice is appreciated!

SPORT Casual football 5 to 8 a side

9 Upvotes

Hi there, I (31, male) have just moved to Wellington from London. Wondering what the causal 5 a side or 7 a side (don't mind so much what size game) scene is like here. Keen to find a regular game and quite flexible on timings. Do people just play through groups of friends, is there an app, people use facebook?

Used to play a good amount of games through Footy Addicts back in London which was very convenient.
