Are you ready for fireworks night?

Next week is the 5th of November and many animals around NZ will be struggling with the noise of fireworks 💥

If you know your cat or dog struggles with loud noises, we can set up a few things to help them!

💥 Set up an area they can retreat to that is (ideally) sound proof and comfortable ahead of time

💥 Ensure they are inside and safe. Many dogs and cats go missing this time of the year after running away from the noise….

💥 Close the curtains and play calming music to drown out the booms

💥 Try diverting their attention with food toys, play or positive reinforcement training

💥 Use pheromones (adaptil for dogs, feliway for cats) to help them feel calm and at home

💥Some animals will be helped by anxiety wraps (I’ll be sharing a DIY wrap later in the week).

If your animal really struggles though, now is the time to reach out to your veterinary team for some help, then get in contact with me to make a plan before the next big fireworks event!

During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel. So I gave out a lot of parcels of those to anyone I knew who needed it.”

There, they're and their!

NumberWorks'nWords Whangarei

There, they’re and their are the big trio of commonly confused words with all three of them pronounced the same.
- There means the opposite of here; “at that place.”
- They’re is a contraction of “they are” or “they were.”
- Their means “belongs to them.”
