Lumpy Gari (Part 2)
Owner’s blog: I (Melanie, not Melly like Gari likes to call me), am continuing this blog topic for Garibaldi since he was asleep during a lot of what happened.
Lumpy Gari
Last Tuesday Melly felt a strange lump in my side while we were swimming. The lump was about as big as a golf ball and positioned just where my right hind leg joins my body. I think that part of me is called my “flank” but I’m not sure. Melly shot an email out to […]
Bouncing Baby Brits!
Howletts Wild Animal Park is now home to a clutter of baby capybara! Check out the adorable photos on Zoo Borns. Howletts is near Canterbury, England so if you are in that part of the world, get over and see them. And send me some photos!
Walk & Roll
I’ve been a pretty sheltered capybara most of my life and this has taught me a few things. Firstly, I do not like to travel in cars. Cars go to the vet and the vet is scary. Sometimes cars go nowhere and you end up right back where you started. This is also scary because […]
Gregarious Gari
If you have been following my exploits (and I think you’d better have a darned good excuse if you haven’t been), then you know that I recently went to the small animal clinic at Texas A&M University (TAMU) in College Station, Texas to have some abscesses removed. Just to refresh your memory, Melly blogged about […]
Papua Piig’s Video
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSZPe6Pq8Ic&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] I hope you’ve read my Vistors, Vagrants or Vampires? post because then you will know how Papua Piig came to make this wonderful video of me. After watching this video, I suggest you check out some of the other videos on Papua Piig’s channel. That piig really loves the camera!
Punch Line Contest
There’s no better way to celebrate Caplin Rous’ 4th birthday than to start a new contest. Caplin loved contests, after all, he is the one who invented Rodent Jeopardy. This contest is even better because first prize is a teeshirt with our brand new capybara design on it.
Visitors, vagrants or vampires?
This week I have two “visitors” staying at my house, Stacy Winnick and Angela Mitchell. You may remember Stacy from her visit here in April. She owns Caplin Rous’ younger brother Dobby. Angela is also famous for her rodent connection. She has three of the cutest guinea pigs in the world, Papua Piig, Phoenix Phuzzer […]
Don’t fence me out!
If you’ve been following my blog and the adventures of my life, you know that I am recovering from recent surgery. You can see two places where I had stitches in the photo above. I am wondering if this doesn’t give me a more sophisticated, capybara-of-the-world look. I wish Melly had smoothed the hair on […]
It’s Not a Tumor!
Owner’s blog: This blog entry is a followup to Lumpy Capy, please read that post first. WARNING: This blog contains graphic medical images. The big day finally came for Garibaldi Rous’ trip to the Small Animal Clinic at Texas A&M University. Since y’all have read the Lumpy Capy blog post, I don’t have to tell […]
