While the cats enjoyed the dog ban on Lanolinland, and the kiwis, President Lanolin wondered if shed done the right thing. Maybe Kevin was an anomoly amongst the opposition, but she wondered if this would make her unpopular amongst the Lanolinland men, as she'd heard that dogs were a 'mans best friend'.
Lots of men had dogs, and shed had to tell them that those who had them to move to the South Island, to keep the North Island (which was Lanolinland) dog free. There was plenty of room for them to run around in the South Island, along with the deer, rabbits and they could play in the gorse bushes.
Unfortunately this had the potential to divide the country even more than the Springboks rugby tour of 1981. But she figured that the county was already divided anyway with the Cook Strait in the middle, and if a dog was desperate enough to swim over it they could.
Mittens the cat however, was pleased as hed been given the key to the city of Wellington and Auckland and no longer had to worry about where he stepped on the beach.
Mrs Olive said that the partition had to be managed peacefully and as an incentive all the hotels were to be dog friendly in the South Island and free doggie biscuits given to all that stayed while finding new accomodations.
The sheep were relieved that that the dogs were gone and set about following their new shepherds who no longer barked at them but knew them each by name.
