2 lost dogs - please help

as posted here

... coming home from work today at about 7:30pm I found both my dogs had escaped under the fence of the house.

I live in Thornlie along Yale road.

both dogs are Akita's, 1 male and 1 female. The boy's name is Yogi, he's dark brown in colour, is wearing a blue leather collar with silver metal studs on it.

The female is called Kayla, she has a black face, and a white/sable coloured body. She's wearing a orange/pink sort of coloured collar.

Both dogs are micro-chipped.. Being late I've tried everything I can to find them. Knocked on neighbors doors, called the local security patrols, went down to the local pound to check out the photo board.

I'm going to find some photo's to post up of the 2 of them..

if anyone see's them, has them, know's who has them, could you please call me on 0405 329 036.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Parks shape up for summer

as posted on COGsite

The City’s Parks and Environment team is working on an intensive two-month maintenance program to get local parks and reserves in top shape for summer.

Throughout September and October, the team will be out in force spraying weeds, fertilising, vertimowing and repairing turf, as well as top dressing Tom Bateman, Sutherlands Park F and Harmony Fields sports reserves.

City staff recently joined the Maddington Kenwick Sustainable Communities Partnership and Community Leadership Network (CLN) for a tree planting day at the recently upgraded Packer Park in Kenwick.

Some 1000 native trees were planted by local volunteers and students to enhance the refurbished park, which now features a new playground and gazebo, seating, paving and turf. Barbecues are expected to be installed next year.

To find out more about parks, sports grounds, bushland reserves or leisure groups in the City of Gosnells, visit the website www.gosnells.wa.gov.au or call 9391 3222.

Targa rally revs up

The Targa West rally revved up at Forrest Place this morning as a field of 85 cars crossed the ceremonial starting line.

The cars will compete against time in racing arenas and special stages made from closed-off public roads.

The road closures will mainly affect the streets of Perth's hills where areas of Kalamunda, Gosnells, Mundaring and Armadale will host some of the fastest driving legally allowed on Perth's roads.

The rally has become one of Australia's premier tarmac racing events, along with the Classic Adelaide and Targa Tasmania.

It has attracted some of the biggest names in Australian rally driving, along with the best cars in the country.

It has also become the premier amateur motorsport event in WA.

Australian racing legend Peter Brock was a competitor in the 2006 Targa West rally.

He died when his car hit a tree during the event.

The rally will finish on Sunday.
