A huge loss to the world, what a wonderful woman.. there will be a long line of animals waiting for her at the pearly gates. Thank you Dr Jane Goodall

With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.

In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane

Dog owners have a read 😳

⚠️⚠️ Vets are seeing significant outbreaks of parvovirus in several regions, including Northland, Auckland and Wellington⚠️⚠️

Parvovirus is a highly contagious, potentially fatal disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract of dogs. Unvaccinated (or incompletely vaccinated) puppies aged six weeks to six months are most at risk of catching parvo.

Symptoms usually occur within seven days of exposure and may include lethargy, low appetite, fever, vomiting and bloody diarrhoea. Here are some tips to reduce your puppy's risk of contracting parvovirus:

✅ Contact your vet for advice if your dog is unwell. Let them know if your dog has not been vaccinated, is only partially vaccinated, or if their vaccines are overdue.
✅ Get your dog vaccinated by a vet. Parvovirus is highly preventable with the right vaccinations.
✅ Keep them away from unvaccinated dogs and public areas where dogs commonly walk.
✅ Keep them restricted to properties with no history of parvovirus, as the disease can survive in affected areas for years.
✅ Make sure no one is bringing potentially contaminated material on to your property (remember to ‘clean the poo from your shoe!’)
✅ Talk to your vet about the parvovirus risk in your region.
✅ Ask your vet about an appropriate vaccination and socialisation programme for your puppy.

I’m sure some people look at my photos or even their own cat & think that it’s not the best grooming in the world. I’m not trained, but would consider myself a pro now after doing hundreds and hundreds of cat grooms. It’s definitely something that isn’t taught but vast experience. I’ve had cats lay dead still for me and other tear shreds off me and try and bunny bounce off the table. What I have learnt is some cats have certain fur that when you groom them they look picture perfect. Others have sticky fur, tricky skin & obviously constantly moving. Luckily it’s about the cat feeling better, not a fashion show. Some cats get “over it” by the time I get to back legs, tummies and bums so often they aren’t as perfect as I would like. I’ve very rarely had to stop a groom without finishing properly but always would if the cat gets stressed or to over it. Here’s an example of not a perfect groom 🤣🤣 but Calvin is the party trick for his families 🦕 🦖 party this week before going completely bald later 😻 I absolutely love what I do and love I can help animals and their owners 😻
