SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years.… View more
Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.

GOODBYE SHANE RETI

Chris from Clouston Park - Kingsley Heights

Poor Shane has certainly had to swallow a lot of dead rats since he was elected. Despite not choking on them he got the boot anyway. I am surprised that as a person who seems to have a higher sense of morality that anyone in the current governmen he has not already resigned.

Poor Shane has certainly had to swallow a lot of dead rats since he was elected. Despite not choking on them he got the boot anyway. I am surprised that as a person who seems to have a higher sense of morality that anyone in the current governmen he has not already resigned.
Its not as though he would have a problem finding a job that would actually enable him to help people.

As residents of William Sanders Village, they frequently clock up 12 kilometres in a day, enjoying the charm of their local neighbourhood. Their favourite routes feature stunning harbour and bay views and regular stops at their much-loved local cafés.

“There are so many beautiful walks nearby, It’s such a convenient area to explore,” says Eric.

REAL WORLD EMERGING OUT OF FICTON

Michael from Trentham

Years ago watched a movie depicting the near future where the nation's leader (President) and his henchmen and women were the great blatant liars for the vast majority of the population; there were cures for everything if one was wealthy and robots had taken over all the jobs that were chores… View moreYears ago watched a movie depicting the near future where the nation's leader (President) and his henchmen and women were the great blatant liars for the vast majority of the population; there were cures for everything if one was wealthy and robots had taken over all the jobs that were chores for humans be it physical or mental.

The very next step was robot takeover - but that is another movie or two.

So with what one has seen of Trump since 2015, he is the first of the persistent leadership liars (over 65,000 lies inside 10 years) and has surrounded himself with other right wing liars, criminals, misinformation providers and thugs. Trump has also implanted dozens and dozens of billionaires and millionaires into his fold and at the helm of these are people who are the top money spinners in space, high tech and robotics like Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos.

The rich get richer and the middle class and below get poorer and are expendable. And that has been happening to some extent for a number of years but is now accelerating.

Of course Hitler was a liar extraordinary and the world most dangerous person after Stalin. But Trump has set the stage for others to follow his foul antics not only in the USA but world-wide.

The year 2025 where all cancers can be cured, all body transplants can succeed and so on - for those wealthy enough to afford the costs.

Jenny Pattrick, one of Aotearoa’s most loved writers (The Denniston Rose) and director, Lyndee-Jane Rutherford (Prima Facie), present, HOPE, a family drama rising hot from within.

In the near future, a controversial government bill bars people with terminal illnesses from receiving treatment. Pianist Irina, a Ukrainian refugee, is cared for at home by her son with a dubious mix of natural and illegal remedies. When Irina’s feisty daughter returns from the war and a famous former pupil appears on their doorstep, hope and delusion blur together making us question the morality of fighting for your life and your loved ones.

On at Circa Theatre, 25 January - 23 February 2025.
