We all love our furry friends,
The dopermne releases we get from them with each caress.
The loyalty and offical welcome of a guard dogs.
The compannionship all pets offer, espcially if lonely.
The fun of the ball games on the lawn.
The fitness mate on long walks,
The ever present love during illness,
And yes the pouch pics in the family frames.
So please lets be sure to love and protect them, as our valued family, in the same way during #guyfawkes
Below are a few tips;
Exercise your pet, so they don’t have excess energy,
Provide food distraction, like toys, bones, long term chewing helps them
Have music playing
Keep pets inside
Close all curtains
Compression/comfort wrapping can be used
You can buy calming products to give during the fireworks season..as a precautionary.
If your pet is outside - like rabbits, ensure extra bedding like straw are added..and if possible put them in a closed space.
Your pet will try to run from their fears- be sure your pet is identifiable, eg, Tags. Chipped.
Don’t light fireworks at home- go to a professional display and keep us all safe
If you attend a professional display-keep all pets at home away from the fireworks
While it is a fun occasion, fireworks on Guy Fawkes Night has caused much conflict over the years, upsetting our pets and disrupting the sleep of neighbours.

I was thinking of getting KFC for lunch yesterday, but thought I would try something a little better.
So, i popped into "The Sultans Boofiya Kitchen" at 308 Queen Street, Masterton.
For $13 I got a lunchtime special of curry ( my choice was Rogan Josh ), fried rice, a big naan bread and a drink.
Got it home and dare i say, it was perfect.
I actually had enough ( for me ) for two meals.
The quality and taste were excellent and I think the value was outstanding.
The staff were also very friendly.
I think their menu is very good and is not all Indian cuisine, so a bit of variety for everyone.
I encourage you all to check them out.

Volunteer Managers change lives — both the lives of volunteers themselves and of those served by well-led volunteers. The theme of this year’s International Volunteer Managers Day looks into the future and asks, “What’s our future normal?”
Imagine a future where it is normal for Volunteer Management to be well resourced and supported in our community organisations. It should be normal for volunteer management teams to have the right resources to carry out their jobs effectively.
IVM Day is a chance for volunteer managers to recognise what you have achieved and put some stepping stones in place towards a future normal, hopefully a more supported, well-resourced normality.
