2023 Wild Birds of New Zealand Calendars - Available Now
Give them a gift they really want this Christmas - a Wild Birds of New Zealand 2023 Calendar.
These are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper. NZ Public Holidays and Day Light Savings dates are included and there is room for little notes on each date. The photos are all taken by myself, with a couple around the Hutt Valley. These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print, who do a fabulous job. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost or collect from Woburn, Lower Hutt. Limited number available.
Payment on invoice by deposit into my account or cash on pick-up. Thanks for supporting my venture. Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz to arrange collection or if you would like a PDF of the whole calendar to have a look at before you buy.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ 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 ❤️
