Spring has sprung and that only means one thing - well two actually.
One, we are set to get better weather and longer nights as we approach summer - just as we've seen just in the last few weeks.
And two, we get to eat all the chocolate we want and our excuse is simply Easter!

But whilst the humans get to enjoy all this chocolate, it's not the same for dogs who, if ingest chocolate, could fall seriously ill.
According to science.org, "Theobromine, a caffeinelike molecule that increases blood flow to the brain, is so hard for dogs to process that they can easily eat enough to be poisonous. Few dogs eat fatal amounts of chocolate, but smaller doses can still cause seizures and other symptoms.
"Dark chocolate is worse than milk chocolate (it contains more theobromine) and smaller dogs are more easily affected. Cats are even more at risk than dogs - but lacking the ability to taste sweetness, they aren't nearly as tempted by the treat."
But now your dogs can join in on the fun by trying their very own 'chocolate' Easter egg - and it costs just £2 with many saying they've seen them in Wilko and the Pound shop.
Taking to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one shopper shared their must-have item for our beloved pets this Easter.
In her caption she wrote: "Thought these were good! Doggy Easter eggs so they don't miss out! £2 in Wilkos and there a decent size too!"
Responding to the post one said: "Some people who have dog they treat them like a child. Their fur babies and of course they get spoilt. Mine did before I had kids he's died now. But he had a toy box full of toys. He got Easter eggs, advent calendars, presents under the tree. I loved doing it. He was my best friend. And anyone thinking about it. Do it your fur babies deserves to be spoilt. I think it's a great idea."
Another joked: "Wonder how many kids are getting these from the grandparents that can’t see properly."
A third even decided to share a rather funny moment adding: "I remember years ago I'd bought some. One for my dog Spike, and one for mum's dog Sheba. I'm in the kitchen, late hubby wandering around. He's munching saying that the chocolate eggs are nice. Had a good laugh! His face when I told him they were doggy chocs!!!"
