How To Get Over It!
LOVE this quote! Found it on instagram this morning. To me it means what one might do with their pain π©π€. We've all felt hurt π₯Ίππ€§ or angry π π€π‘π€¬ in reaction to behaviours from others - teachers π, parents π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦, friends π©π»βπ€βπ©π», school kids π©βπ, bla bla. We all have choice π§ β―. I suppose some never come to realise that and might end up burning down the village! Believe me I get it! I feel like personal development has been the difference maker in my life - the saving grace πΌπ. There have been times ππ when I have felt very much like "burning down the village"π π₯π₯ !! Yet the desire to go down a path that didn't lead to prison ππ€£ was stronger than my hurt and I worked through my feelings over many years πβ. I was driven by the desire to not feel the way I was feeling anymore. I wanted peace and happiness - BOOM.
β οΈ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. β οΈ
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
π The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50Β°C in less than 15 minutes.
π Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
π This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
π It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you β€οΈ
Wander more, worry less
Few things in life are as enriching as the thrill of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At Rymanβs Bert Sutcliffe Village in Auckland, a group of intrepid travellers have combined the two.
It all began when Bert Sutcliffe Village resident Marie began arranging evenings at the theatre for her neighbours. The theatre enthusiasts soon became close friends and as their friendships developed so did their adventures, expanding their horizons to include long lunches, winery tours, group dinners and adventurous holidays in New Zealand and overseas.
