Should electric scooters stay or go?
Electric scooters are set to stay on Hamilton Streets with pedestrian and user safety remaining a concern.
Hamilton City Council's Infrastructure Operations Committee approved the extension to operate indefinitely and has opened up a previously exclusive contract to other operators.
Councillor Sarah Thomson said she had heard from the disabled community and older residents that sharing the footpath with scooter riders could be a terrifying experience, and she had recently experienced a close call herself with a scooter rider.
"I was coming around a corner, I was pushing [my son] Leo in a pram and I nearly collided with someone riding a scooter. Leo, who is 10-and-a-half months old, would have been the first one hit."
The committee has attempted to address these concerns, with three-monthly reports needing to be submitted to ensure companies and scooter riders are adhering to regulations. Public liability insurance worth $2 million will also be required from each operator.

The weather this week has been perfect for getting these curtains dry and back home nice and quickly!

Many a foreign object can flick onto the surface of the wallpapers in your home that can range from food to crayon to fly spray, the list goes on. Like any textile, wallpapers do need a little bit of love every now and then, a regular wipe down with a clean cloth should keep dust and marks at bay however there are times when there may be the need for a more deeper clean.
To better understand how to care for your wallcoverings we need to first understand the different types of wallpaper on the market and their cleaning durability. The main three classifications are:
1. Washable: Coated papers (light weight vinyl) would fall under this category. A mild detergent and water can be used to occasionally wipe surface of wallcovering. Not suitable for high traffic areas due to light cleaning and inability to remove stains or contaminants without damage.
2. Scrubbable: Generally heavy vinyl’s, these types of wallcoverings are suited to higher traffic areas as they can withstand scrubbing to remove stains and dirt more effectively.
3. Spongeable: The most delicate of the three methods with wall coverings primarily used for decorative effect (uncoated). Best maintained by using a dry clean sponge/eraser or with a lightly dampened cloth and avoiding heavy water use.

When we’re not at our optimal health, our immune systems struggle to keep up. If you have chronic stress, digestive issues or a poor diet, the first place to look is inside and the question to ask yourself is how is my immune system travelling and what can I do to improve it?

Xray's were taken as with all dentals, to see if there were any underlying issues that we are unable to see during a pre dental and a cavity check was completed. He was given an all clear in these area’s so his scale and polish was done.🙂
Ziggy recovered well and his Mum reports his breath is a lot fresher! Ziggy's Mum purchased a Virbac Dental Kit to take home, this kit includes a doggy toothbrush and poultry flavoured toothpaste! 😋
Getting your canine or feline used to having their 'canine's' brushed takes a bit of time, but doing them three times a week as part of his/her routine can have so many benefits.
Brushing your pets teeth can help prevent the following :
🦷Bad Breath
Stinky breath can be a symptom of dental, lung or gastrointestinal issues. Regular mouth and breath check-ups should be part of taking care of your pets overall health. Gum disease also known as Periodontal disease is an inflammation of the gums. It is one of the most common diseases pets suffer from today and can lead onto gingivitis. The best way to prevent this is by regularly brushing your pets teeth.
🦷Tooth Decay
Get your dog or cat used to having their mouth checked and teeth brushed regularly by you. With weekly at home checks you can spot irregularities in your their mouth, from bleeding, lumps, chipped teeth. If you do find something, it's important to get it checked out by one of our vets.
🦷Painful Infections
Your pet can stop eating and drinking if infections occur in their mouth. There may be redness or swelling on the gums and they will have a disinterest in playing, lethargic, drooling and have bad breath to name a few. These symptoms can be a sign of other issue's so it is always important to get your pet checked by a vet.
🦷Tartar Build Up
Tartar doesn’t take long to form and it can cause immediate damage to your pets teeth and gumline. Its starts off as plaque and combines with the salts in your their saliva, hardens and becomes tartar. Tartar can lead to tooth root decay and tooth loss.
❤️The moral of the story....... weekly home checking of your pets mouth, teeth brushing, dental chews, a good quality diet, regular dental checks with your veterinarian and then dentals procedures when necessary, will lead to a happy & healthy pets mouth!
❤️As you can see, Ziggy is learning how to brush his teeth, watch out for follow up posts to see how he is getting on!
