How To Get Over It!

Alister from South Dunedin

LOVE this quote! Found it on instagram this morning. To me it means what one might do with their pain πŸ˜©πŸ€•. We've all felt hurt πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜­πŸ€§ or angry 😠😀😑🀬 in reaction to behaviours from others - teachers 🍎, parents πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦, friends πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ€β€πŸ‘©πŸ», school kids πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“, bla bla. We all have choice 🧠☯. 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 πŸ‘ΌπŸ™. There have been times πŸ•—πŸ•Ÿ when I have felt very much like "burning down the village"🏠πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ !! Yet the desire to go down a path that didn't lead to prison πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ was stronger than my hurt and I worked through my feelings over many years πŸŽβš–. I was driven by the desire to not feel the way I was feeling anymore. I wanted peace and happiness - BOOM.

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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:

πŸ‘‰ The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50Β°C in less than 15 minutes.
πŸ‘‰ 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.
πŸ‘‰ This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
πŸ‘‰ 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 ❀️
