News Hounds Ady & Flo www.sunlive.co.nz

The newshounds have been hot on a trail, sniffing out Easter eggs this week.

But the news is all bad, 'cos the boss tells me chocolate is bad for dogs. And the tinfoil wrappers don't do our systems any good, either.

Legend has it that old Diesel the Chocolate Crusader was the king at sniffing confectionaries of all sorts, especially chocolate, but ironically, my great forebear was never allowed any. This is due to chocolate being toxic to dogs, so all you pooch lovers out there who may be thinking about treating your best friend to some, please don't!
Wendy the Dog Trainer says chocolate is fatal for dogs, so keep them stashed up high!

You'd be much better sticking to a doggy morsel, such as Ziwipeak's treats or some of the other designed-for-canines goodies. Even a mouthwatering raw bone would be better than any of this sweet and toxic (to us) human stuff.

Or a good helping of raw meat. And I know just where to find some, on the hoof. Because in the wind, we're detecting a whiff of the Easter bunny. He can forget any special privileges at this time of the year, just because he thinks he's got a job to do, doesn't mean there's any sort of amnesty from the likes of me and Ady. No way, Rabbit Features, myself and the wily German will take you down, any day of the year. We are unmoved by your remonstrations of charitable intent.

So be warned, hare brained fluffy bum. Keep an eye over your shoulder as you dash around delivering goodies of questionable health benefits. Your own health could be the issue because there's a couple of sharp eyed carnivores here, keen on fresh protein, ready to dispatch you to the hare-after.

Ooh, on that dark note, we'll leave you with these thoughts:

Q. How can you tell which rabbits are the oldest in a group?
A. Just look for the gray hares.

Q. What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards?
A. A receding hareline.

Q. How do you know carrots are good for your eyes?
A. Have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses?

Q. Waitress, what's this hare doing in my soup?
A. Looks like the back stroke.

Q. What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole?
A. A Hot Cross bunny.
