This is a good time to remind all you Easter freaks that chocolate is bad for dogs. But chasing bunnies is good.

Run fast, run hard, and let the chocolate ones go.

If you're travelling with the mutt, remember to never leave them locked in the car and take some water and a bowl. This is especially important to wash the rabbit fur down.

Those visiting central Auckland will be interested to hear there's now a dedicated radio station for dogs. K9FM broadcasts on 87.7FM.

It's designed for those ‘home alone' cases. Dog behavioural experts and researchers have developed a programme they say is fun and relaxing for dog listeners.

The station plays relaxing content, a bit of classical, chat shows such as Fetch in the Park, Meditation, Talkies and a Vet Advice segment. The experts say the doggie listeners can focus on the words they recognise and be calmed by the music choices.
Just what we need here in the Bay!

Take care out there this long weekend; go easy on the gut-rot and make the best of any fine spells for some fresh air and exercise with ya pooch.

Finally...how to sneak up on a rabbit: Not from behind. Rabbits can see behind them without turning their heads, but have blind spot in front of their face. My advice, run at them, front on!

Flo.
