Volunteers Sought To Back Next Generation of Guide Dogs
Calling all puppy lovers.
Blind Low Vision New Zealand wants you.
The organisation is appealing for volunteers to collect donations for the Red Puppy Appeal.
Funds raised on March 26 and March 27 will be used to train and care for the next generation of guide dogs.
About 100 puppies are bred and trained each year.
It takes nearly two years and more than $50,000 to raise and teach just one guide dog.
Blind Low Vision NZ is calling for 2000 volunteers to join the pack.
The goal is to raise $300,000 this year.
Register online at redpuppy.org.nz or call 0800 787 743 (0800 PUPPIES) to volunteer.
Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower
It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
