Purrrfect pet accommodation
The best place for your pet when you are on holiday is your place. I can pop round, feed, medicate, clean and entertain your pet while you are away. I'm trained and experienced in giving a variety of medications to a variety of pets. I have spent a number of years working within the pet boarding industry and have CPIT qualifications in animal care. Give me a call. 0210512307 to get your bookings in. Spaces still available over Christmas. You will find most good catteries are now full for Xmas bookings. I charge similar if not cheaper than a cattery and your pet will be less stressed.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
