Don’t Melly and I look cute together? Don’t you think it looks like she loves me? Well she doesn’t. Instead of staying home and taking care of me, she is going to Brasil! I’m pretty sure that while she is there she will be ogling other capybaras and comparing them to me, potentially unfavorably. She has already proved her inconstancy by failing to help me write my blog posts lately. She has been “too busy studying Portuguese.” That is the language that the Brazilian capybaras speak so you can see where this is going.

Anyway, I got her to help me make this one quick post, then I won’t be able to make another post until the first weekend in September. That is two whole weeks from now! So I hope you enjoy these photos. Melly says she doesn’t have time to do much typing today because she has to catch a plane to take her away from me. Not her exact words but you get the idea.

Luckily I will still have my Rick to love me and feed me while Melly is gone, and I do like my Rick better anyway. But he is not as good about feeding me treats as Melly is and he never goes swimming with me.

So long for the nonce, my beloved fans! If Melly ever comes back, I will post again.
