Green Fingers

If you wander around the streets of Dunbar at dusk you may well see the strange sight of adults trying to conceal large amounts of greenery on their person. They scurry around holding bags full of the stuff close to their chests, looking slightly embarrassed when you make eye contact with them. But don't worry, there is an explanation. It's free food...not for us, but for rabbits and Guinea Pigs. It turns out dandelions are their favourite dish, and with the credit crunch and all, why buy food when it's on offer for free. Emma is one of those out snaffling her secret stash of greens, and out tonight she encountered another one, so now there is a small army of these green fingered free riders on the loose. Talking of Guniea Pigs, it must be a year since Splat departed us for pastures new. Shame really because its the civic week pet show next week. Nobody said the pet had to be alive, or in one piece, and there are no rules against pets being 2 dimensional.
