Dog Microchips Could be Made Compulsory
The government is considering plans to make it compulsory for dog owners to microchip their animals.

It is the responsible owners that will…
Penny at 21 Weeks
I knew Penny would have put on at least a lb. since her last weigh in but was surprised to find she has actually gained nearly 2lb. She now weighs 14lb at 21 weeks and is really starting to feel quite heavy. For the past few months she has been sleeping through the night but…
Electric Ford Focus
This article about the electric Ford Focus makes interesting reading. It looks quite good and is unusual for an electric car in that it looks like a normal car. Personally for me electric cars are a little out of my price range at the moment but it does look better than a lot of other…

The “creature” was recorded at a depth of 75ft directly under his tourist boat. It measures nearly 5ft wide. Some people are convinced it is the monster…
Drop 20lbs in Ten Days
I’m always a little sceptical about these sorts of claims but it seems a new diet can help you do just that as long as you don’t eat anything. The diet is aimed at people who want to lose weight very quickly such as brides to be. It involves eating nothing for 10 days and…

Called ExmoBaby the babygro can detect whether the baby’s heart rate, temperature and breathing patterns have changed as well as letting you know when the nappy needs changing. It works by having a thread woven…
