When Gari Was Three

Melanie’s Post: This post commemorates the third year of the life of Garibaldi Rous, World’s Silliest Capybara. I think you can see that he earned that title by looking at the photo above. Gari the Clown whose superpower was rolling, and rolling, and rolling.

when Gari Was Two

Melanie’s Post: I always said that Caplin was dignified and Garibaldi was a clown. The photo above demonstrates that. He was never the staid, thoughtful, discerning capybara that Caplin was, and he never strove for it. Gari, the Capybara Clown.

If Gari Were Eight

Melanie’s post: Today would have been Garibaldi (Gari) Rous’ eighth birthday. It’s a day to take some time to remember him. For those of you who weren’t following the blog then, I hope you will look back to the posts between Jan. 2011 through Feb. 2014, the short time that Gari lived with me.

Skipper and Water

Melanie’s post: Mudskipper has had a strange relationship with water, especially considering that she is a semi-aquatic rodent with a semi-aquatic name. In fact, capybaras should love water from the day they are born. From the photo above, you can see that, in the wild, even tiny newborn capybaras go swimming in caiman infested waters. […]

Be My Valentine

A Skipper Post: Dearest Dobby, I know this card isn’t much, but I want you to know that it represents so much more! The photo is an embodiment of my dreams. You ad me grazing side by side on lush grass surrounded by tasty flowers. Forever together.

The Big Oh Three

A Skipper Post: Let’s talk about me, my favorite topic, and especially relevant today because today is my birthday! Yup, I am the big OH THREE. That’s 3 to you but I like to add another digit to make it seem more important. I was going to call it The Big Oh Oh Three, but […]

All Things Capybara

Melanie’s Post: I know you’ve seen that photo before, but it is a good example of this post’s topic: All Things Capybara. You wouldn’t believe how few capybara items there are available worldwide. Too few. Way too few. But if anyone is a collector of such items, it is me. So in this post, I’m […]

Happy Birthday to ME!

Inside Inside Edition

A Skipper Post: Do you see me in that photo above? No? Well, I am hiding underneath that blanket. MelT says I still look cute, even when she can’t see me. I guess that’s true because the people from Inside Edition thought I was cute, too. That’s right! I am now a bonafide TV star! […]

Dearest Dobby (01/04/2018)

A Skipper’s Post: Dearest Dobby, I hope you know how much I love you. You are my idol in so very many ways. Your wisdom has been a guiding light in my life, along, of course, with the many posts from my predecessors, Caplin and Garibaldi. And of course, you are the best looking male […]
