Well, it finally happened! I turned five! And guess what I got for my birthday:bamboo! Delicious and nutritious. I’d much rather have bamboo than a dumb birthday cake. We capys aren’t into confections.
Wow! Suddenly the weather is nice and the whole world has turned green! I have been waiting for this my whole life…or at least since last fall, that’s what MelT says anyway.
I do not know what this “New Year” thing is. One day it was the old year, next day it’s the new year. Doesn’t a whole year have to pass between those things? Who can understand humans! Or maybe MelT made the whole thing up.
I had so many visitors this past weekend! It really wore me out. See that photo above? And that wasn’t even all of them. MelT says I wasn’t very accomodating. I don’t know what that means, so maybe I wasn’t.
I think a lot of you know that after Caplin Rous’s death in January of 2011, I started a charity called the ROUS Foundation for Capybara Veterinary Medicine (RF). I am happy to say that the RF has done a lot of good work for captive capybaras and their caretakers, but it hasn’t been easy.
