GONE!!!

Julia from Avondale

Leaving for work at 7:20 this morning 24.07.2024 probably half a sleep hadn't noticed that our 2017 Vulcan Trailer Rego 8Q721 had been stolen.
We work hard to make a living. I work with Stroke patients and the other guy's work in our mowing business. It has taken us years to build our business up and purchase equipment. But it just took a few seconds for someone take part of it away.
We were told that Lynfield was one of the best places to live by AA our insurer. Hmmm.
We reached out to our neighbours but never heard back apart from two. Not even to say no we didn't see anything and at least be friendly or slightly concerned. Because hey it might be you next and wouldn't you want some friendly neighbourly love if that should happen. It's bad enough that i already feel like a stranger in my own country. And scared to walk in my own street because people aren't friendly they just stare at you. I am actually a nice person. If you live in Halsey street say hello. Jules

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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:

👉 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 ❤️
