You almost never get to see a photo of me with MelT. To be honest, it’s because she embarrasses me. I can’t introduce her to my capybara friends, what would they say? “You poor thing! Having to live with that witch!” Well, it’s hard, but the hardest part is dealing with her fanatical cleaning.

MelT likes things “clean,” whatever that means. Even if things are clean, I still like to sleep in the bed, especially if I have my bear, which I always have. I’ve been thinking of giving my bear a name. I think I settled on Bear. Or maybe My Bear. Yeah, My Bear is better. But everyone else has to call him Bear.

Now, I think you can see what an improvement this is. It is way more natural. Everyone says I “belong out in the wild,” but I think they’ve forgotten that you can bring the wild inside! I’m not ready to give up the bed, let’s not get carried away. My Bear likes the mud too, you can tell by how muddy he is.

I ask you, what is wrong with a dirt floor? Doesn’t the whole world have a dirt floor? What’s to get upset about?

Ok, maybe I went too far. MelT is always going on about me not getting on the counters even when I am not muddy. But the FOOD is up there! Specifically the cat food, which should really be called capybara food. Then maybe MelT would get it right and feed me some.

I might be spoiling the surprise, but MelT is digging me a new pond! I like it already. Until she finishes digging it is going to be a huge mud puddle for me to play in! How can I not do that? Her expectations are completely unreasonable.

That’s it for this week. Do you agree with me that MelT is crazy? Do you keep your house clean or in a more natural, dirty condition? Do your pets help you out the way I help MelT? Leave a comment to let me know. If enough people agree with me, maybe I can convince her to do things my way. Oh, and what do you think of My Bear, Bear to you, as a name for my bear? Perfect, right?
