I’m gonna bring back #mole interest real quick to celebrate a huge conservation success story that just broke! The De Winton's golden mole, an african mole species that hasn’t been seen in almost 90 years, has just been rediscovered in Port Nolloth, South Africa. The project to find this elusive mole utilized a specially trained border collie named Jessie to detect and track the De Winton’s golden mole along with more than a dozen other mole species. When Jessie finds evidence of mole activity and alerts the scientists she is rewarded with her favorite thing- a game of catch with her tennis ball.
Environmental DNA analysis used with Jessie’s tracking had confirmed the presence of the De Winton’s golden mole when many believed it to be extinct already!
Good dog, Jessie!

Reasons why Spot is named Spot:
He acted like a dog as a kid
He has moles all over his back and chest
He has freckles all over his body
He has vitiligo
He used to own a dog named Spot
He just started calling himself that
The Brooklyn boys thought it was funny
Spot bit someone
Spot growled at someone
When he was a kid he had to be taken on walks
He acted like a dog and would fight during bath time
All of the above

Opinion on murdering a child with a rock and then burning their body?
This sounds like an oddly specific question... I wouldn't know I wasn't ever involved or near such a scandal. Don't ask me that again.

THE MOLES!!!! Oh my god the moles… would’ve liked to see a star-nosed or eyeless mole but these ones are still preeeeetty cool. How do you feel about the stitched eyes rather than the little black beads? I’m a bit more of a black beads fan I think
I'm glad you love the new moles! Thanks for the feedback.

The eye thing is something I noticed with this new collection, too, and it is upsetting me. The Backpack Jellycats all have beady black eyes but the new Backpack Puppy has stitched eyes, for example. And this collection in general has a lot of non-beady-eyed Jellycats. Maybe other people prefer stitched eyes but to me it makes the Jellycat look lifeless and sort of cheap.
So no, I am NOT a fan of stitched eyes. I love the classic black, beady eyes. Almost all Jellycats have those eyes and it's one of the things I originally loved about the brand. I'm very afraid they will change over to more designs with stitched eyes, primarily to save production costs. All that said, there are always exceptions. I enjoy the stitched eyes on the new Bryno Dino and Adon Dragon!
Backpack Puppy compared to Backpack Dino (stitched eyes vs. beady eyes)
