As you can see from the above photo, Melly is feeling well. She is up to some of her old antics, such as forcing me to wear a Texas A&M scarf. Fact is, I am not a fan of Texas A&M since that is where I go to the vet. Knowing that, you can see that I am not quite 100% or I would have bitten her. I don’t think a three-toothed bite will have quite the same effect either, which makes me sad.

Actually, I am doing pretty well. The weather has been warm so I have been going into the pool regularly to swim. Yesterday Melly even took me for a walk down to the creek. She didn’t take any photos because she’s afraid I will pull her in and ruin her camera. She’s still not all that steady on her feet and her vision is bad. She can’t see to the left at all because of her hemianopsia (I know some big words for a capybara!). All of which works to my advantage.

Does that photo look like anything? It is me rolling underwater but with Melly’s poor eyesight (more accurately, poor brainsight), we can’t be sure the photo makes any sense. As a helpful hint, my hind paws are at the bottom of the picture. Anyway, the point is that I feel well enough to roll. I need to get back in practice in case the world needs saving. What kind of superhero doesn’t practice his/her superpower?

My second superpower is pure, unadulterated cuteness. I’ve still got it. Unless I smile and you can see that I am missing one of my favorite teeth.

I lost a bit of weight while I was sick so I need to eat a lot to put it back on. Melly lost some weight while she was sick but believe me, she doesn’t need to put it back on.

I can even eat tough things like grass and corn-on-the-cob.

Oakley Bunny and I have been exercising together. She hasn’t been sick so she has an unfair advantage.
