3rd Birthday Preview
Wow! This was the best birthday party EVER. But you know how it is after a big party, you’re really not capable of doing anything requiring cognitive thought. Sorry to say, the same thing is true of capybaras. I even asked Leopolda and Cassio to write something up. But if tortoises are slow before they’ve […]
Capy Diablog: Favorite Foods
This post introduces what I hope will be a continuing feature, the Capy Diablog. The Diablog features a conversation (or dialog) between two capybaras, Garibaldi Rous and Dobby Winnick. Most of you probably already know Dobby from his blog, Dobby the Capybara. Dobby is actually Caplin Rous’ full younger brother, but he has become like […]
Visiting Valley View
On Friday I did a school visit at Valley View Elementary School in Austin. This time I had to meet kindergarten kids. I mean, I got to meet them. A lot of them. Maybe thousands. Or one hundred at least. Or maybe at most.
Puppy Day
On Sunday my friend Sheldon brought over his two Boston terrier puppies, Juju and Tali. (Tali is in blue and Juju in purple.) When I heard dogs were coming to visit, you can imagine I was none too excited. I decided to go hide somewhere in the house. That is pretty hard now that I […]
Two Types of Swimming
I have been having a lot of fun playing in the pool the past couple of days so I thought I would share some photos with you. Also, Dobby(e) Winnick, got a new pool for his birthday that is just like mine only round, but he doesn’t know how to swim in it. So he […]
Press the Button!
Melly gets some weird ideas, I think there is something wrong with her brain. She’s not exactly crazy, but she’s not exactly not crazy, if you know what I mean. A new crazy thing she’s gotten into her head is that I, Garibaldi Caplin Rous, am going to press a little button every time I […]
Spring Picnic
We’ve been having some beautiful weather here lately so I have been spending a lot of time outside. As you can see from the photo above, I am not the only one who appreciates a little sunshine. That is my co-pet, Leopolda, aka Leah. She is an African leopard tortoise and she has been living […]
Domingão Aventura Update
I hope everyone remembers how Cristian Dimitrius came all the way from Brazil to film me for a TV show called Domingão Aventura, which mean Sunday Adventure in Portuguese. (If you missed my blog post on it you can read it here: Domingão Aventura.) Well, the time has come for my cute little nose to […]
Capybara Comic (Part 4)
I know everyone has been waiting as eagerly as I have for the next installment of Nic Lara’s The Adventures of Garibaldi Rous comics! I love these comics. This is installment four and Nic has done a great job. The frame shown above is my favorite. I don’t want to give too much away, but […]
Very Inspiring Bloggers
Guess what? I was recently nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award by Candice Hoff, who writes a very inspiring blog herself, Candice’s Compendium of Curiosities. I cannot tell you how flattered I am! I am really not trying to inspire anyone, just to educate and entertain, which is hard enough. Maybe too hard for […]
