Tides of Destiny - Chapter 10
Hi Neighbours,
I’m thrilled to share that Chapter 10 of my novel Tides of Destiny is now live! I’d love for you to read and enjoy it. Your feedback means the world to me, and if you’d like to stay updated on my blog, please like, share, and subscribe.
I also want to reach out with a small request. As I continue this creative journey, I’m looking to take things to the next level by upgrading to a paid website. This will allow me to access better tools to refine my writing and grow both personally and professionally.
If you’d like to support my journey, any donation, big or small, would make a huge difference. Your encouragement and generosity inspire me to keep pursuing my passion.
Thank you for being part of this adventure with me!
Warm regards,
Zoeb - Pen by Zee

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
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 ❤️
