Borgified Hamsters

Yesterday's news but still pretty cool (and grim at the same time): injecting peptides into a hamster's damaged brain caused spontaneous repair and recovery of vision (from The Guardian).

In other news there are three new Henry pictures online. Everyone say awww!

Herd Like Behavior

Last week on the magnificent (for people with puppies at least) It's Me Or The Dog they featured a battery-powered bacon-flavoured bubble machine. Wow! we thought, and ordered one over the weekend.

And so, it appears, did the rest of the nation:

Dear Customer
Thank you for ordering Fetch Pet Bubble products from Seapets. Due to the unprecedented demand following the Channel Four television program, all stocks of these products, that were in this country were gone within hours of the broadcast.

Fortunately we work very closely with Fetch Pet and have been assured that we will be the first to receive supplies as the next batch is flown in from the USA. We expect this to clear customs within a few days and we should be able to resume deliveries next week.

Poor Henry has to wait for bacon flavoured bubble goodness. In other news my 28-135mm IS USM lens arrived today, and it's lovely. Shots online later.
