Female doctor looking for dog-friendly accommodation
A friend is doing placements at Whangarei Hospital from 8-14 January, and 22 January - 23 February. While she is in town, she is looking for accommodation where she can bring her dog.
She is a friendly professional; her dog is, in her words, "...fascinated by other animals and will sniff and wander, but doesn't really chase them. Whether cats like him depends more on the cat. He is an inside and outside dog, outside when [she is] not at home (needs to be fenced, though)...and sleeps inside."
If anyone has recommendations, please let me know and I'll pass them on.
Thanks in advance :)
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)
.
