Lap Capy
Part of being a pet is learning where to get the best treats. I have learned that sitting on someone’s lap is a great place to find them. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w-zvJNuPgE&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] This is me and Sheldon. He ran out of treats so I don’t know why I stayed up there. Desperate I guess.
In Memoriam: Buella Belle Capybara
Owner’s blog: This is a very hard post for me to write. A beautiful young capybara named Buella Belle died this week. The photo of her above was taken on the day she died. You can see how gorgeous she was and how healthy she looked. And you might even notice the resemblance to Garibaldi […]
Underwater ‘Bara
Melly follows me around everywhere with her cameras. She takes like 12,000 photos per day. When you take that many, some are bound to be good. Of course, if you take that many of me almost all of them are good! That’s a dilemma because we can’t post them all. So Melly and I decided […]
Learning to Shake
We all know that my super power is rolling! As you can see in the above photo, I am getting even better at it. I have moved up to wielding a weapon while I roll. Okay, that’s just a toy not a weapon but you have to be careful while you’re learning something new. That […]
Vet Check at Texas A&M
Owner’s blog: Ever since I got Garibaldi Rous I have been worried about him. We really don’t know what happened to Caplin Rous and so little is known about capybaras that I now feel like everything I do is potentially deadly. This is one reason I am establishing the ROUS Foundation in conjunction with the […]
Super Gari
Yesterday Melly put a little ribbon around my neck with a medal on it. The ribbon was yellow and the medal was blue like a 1st place ribbon. I am wearing it in the photo above. Can you guess what the medal said?
Scary, scary, night
Yesterday was a scary day for me and Melly. And for Coral, Sheldon and Elizabeth too. We were all scared and I was the one doing the scaring. Here’s what happened. Round about 4:30 pm, Melly came looking for me. I was sitting on the threshold of the back door, one of my favorite places. […]
My Week in Pictures
Today’s blog post doesn’t really have a topic other than me. I guess I didn’t really learn anything new or do anything exciting. But that didn’t keep Melly from following me around with her camera. So we’re just going to run with that.
First Swim
Garibaldi Rous takes his first swim in the big pool. He dives, rolls and generally has a good time.
What’s For Dinner?
A better question is what’s not for dinner. I am a hungry capybara, no question about it. Well, it’s just that I’m growing so fast I need to eat a whole lot. These past few weeks that I’ve been living at my new home with Melly and Rick, I have been putting over two pounds […]
