Living in a motel aaarrrggghhh!
Hey neighbours!
My family and I are currently living in a motel (have done for 3 1/2 months) through transitional housing. As you can imagine we are desperate to get out.
My partner and I have 3 girls 5, 3 and 2 plus one small shitzu (who cannot stay with us while in the motel 🙁) , we would prefer to have some sort of parking but it isn't essential. The girls attend kindy and school in the south end of dunedin so not wanting to move to far away, we are considering any of the flat suburbs out this way (as I don't drive so want to be in walking distance of the girls destinations ) e.g caversham,south dunedin, st Kilda, st clair, forbury, andersons bay, Musselburgh, tainui somewhere around these areas. We are struggling with property managers as they can't see past a credit rating (😣)so would prefer a private landlord. We are very reliable and friendly people who can provide plenty of refernces to a lovely landlord who is willing to give us a chance and get us out of this motel! Feel free to share this around.
I can send Contact details through private message also!
Thank you everyone
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
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:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 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.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 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 ❤️
