Countdown to Caplin Day: 7
Melanie’s Post: Caplin Day isn’t just about Caplin and Gari, or even Caplin and Gari and Mudskipper. Since it is also Capybara Appreciation Day, it is about all capybaras, living and dead. That’s why I included this photo of Dobby on his 3rd birthday. He is alive and well and 9.5 years old now. Quite […]
Countdown to Caplin Day: 8
Melanie’s Post: Like all babies, Caplin Rous got in his share of trouble. From climbing on counters, to biting holes in hoses, he was all capybara. That’s one of the great things about Caplin Day, remembering how cute capybaras are, but also what troublemakers they are. You’ve got to have a lot of patience to […]
Countdown to Caplin Day: 9
Melanie’s Post: It is now 9 days until Caplin Day, July 10th. Time to make preparations for your celebrations. There are many ways to celebrate Caplin Day, aka Capybara Appreciation Day, but none of them is fireworks. Fireworks are more likely to scare a capybara than to make them feel loved and appreciated. This is […]
Countdown to Caplin Day: 10
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEX7t_BsFSQ[/youtube] Popsicles were Caplin’s favorite treat Melanie’s Post: Caplin was born on July 10, 2007, a day that changed the world. At least for me. He died on January 3, 2011, a day that destroyed the world. For me, but also for everyone who had ever met him and even those who never got the […]
In Memoriam: babyJinxx Wren
It is with great sadness that I write this memoriam to babyJinxx Wren. I had a chance to meet him when he was little. Jackie allowed me and my friend Nancy to spend a couple of days at her house. We didn’t even pretend to be visiting her, we only had eyes for babyJinxx.
Pool People
Okay, okay already! I admit I was wrong about the pool. It is the best thing ever! And I’m not the only one to think so. Ever since I got my pool, people have been beating a path to it. They all want to go swimming with me. Of course, I swim with MelT the […]
Summer Vacation
I am really getting into this summer thing. I don’t remember it happening before, but MelT says this is my fourth summer. The other three must not have been as fun.
Deeper is Better
Skipper’s Post: I have a lot of things to blog about. I have fallen way, way, way behind. But you’ve got to start if you’re going to catch up. I’m starting with an update on my pool situation. If you’ve been reading my blog for the past year, you’ll know that this has been a […]
Where Are My Friends?
Mudskipper’s post: You might not know this, but I have friends from all over the world! Well, not exactly. I have friends from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. This makes me happy! But I don’t have any friends from Antarctica, this makes me sad.
I Have a Pool
Mudskipper Post: Something has happened to our yard. I haven’t decided if I like it or not. It was all MelT’s idea, I would never have agreed to it if she’d asked me. Of course, she didn’t. She never wants my opinion. The thing that happened is that my well-loved wading pool has been replaced […]
