I’m Back!
I haven’t been posting for a long time. Mostly that’s because I’m lazy, but it’s also because I have been sick. Really sick. I’ll write a post about that later, after I feel a little better. In the meantime, you can read this article about exotic pets and featuring your favorite pet capybara! Yes, Caplin […]
Countdown to Caplin Day: 10

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 […]
Dobby(e) Trip: Part 1
I’m starting this post with a cute photo of Prince Dobalob, aka Dobby(e) Winnick. Isn’t he adorable? Well, get over it because the whole rest of this post is not going to be about Dobby at all, it’s going to be about my journey to get to him. The journey starts in Buda, TX, detours […]

My Big Boy Fur
This is me on the day I came to live with Melly and my Rick. I wasn’t even 10 months old yet. I sure had a big head! And I was scared of everything. But the point of this blog post is my fur. See how nice and red it is? And how short? It […]
Caplin Day 2013
Melly’s Blog: Today is Caplin Day. On this day, July 10th, in 2007 Caplin Rous was born in Nacogdoches, Texas. I didn’t know it, but the birth of that tiny capybara would change my life. He changed other people’s lives too, teaching people around the world about the intelligent and affectionate nature of capybaras. When […]
5 Days Until Caplin Day 2013
It is only five days until Caplin Day 2013 so there is no better time to revel in the cuteness that was Caplin Rous. Of course Caplin was cute all the time, but he was especially cute when he was wearing a costume. That is why we are celebrating Caplin Day with a Costume Contest […]
Contest: Caplin Day 2013
Caplin Rous’ birthday is coming up on July 10th. He would have been six this year. Melly still misses him every single day and I still struggle to live up to his legacy. One of the things Caplin was great at that I am not so good at was wearing costumes. See that photo above? […]

Capybara PetPR
The photo of me above doesn’t have anything to do with anything. I’m just using it because I start every post with a photo. The thing I wanted to tell my readers today is that PetPR put out a press release about me! Okay, it’s not about me, it’s mostly about Melly. But it is […]
