Capybaras for Home and Garden – part four – Bringing Home Baby I don’t claim to be an expert on capybaras because my sample size (of one) is too small for any viable scientific analysis. What I can claim is relative success in raising and caring for that one capybara, Dobby.

Dobby taught me a lot about baby capybaras.

A Slug in the Kitchen In mild Pacific Northwest summers, slugs are everywhere. Step on one and instantly become a cartoon character slipping on a banana peel. They go underground in winter. Or maybe they come into your house.

Doesn't everybody have a slug in their kitchen?

Launching the Zeppelin The parts are assembled and I’m nearly through formatting. It’s a bit like whack-a-mole and life has its distractions, like writing this blogpost. Still, I’m aiming for an October…

It's getting closer! #capybara #MiddleGrade

Here's your preview of Prince Dobalob Builds a Zeppelin! It should be available in October 2025. I'll let you know!

Norman’s Nonsense – 47 The Equinox I have seen sixteen summers and sixteen winters, so I'm suspicious when the weather changes. Mostly I notice the sun moving further away and passing lower in the sky. It gets lazy- sleeps late and goes to bed early. The short days cool off before we have time to bask in the sunlight. I think winter is coming.

Norman suspects that winter is coming, but so far, nothing to worry about.

Nessie the Snapping Turtle Snapping turtles are in the news! A couple days ago, a lifeguard at a Seattle area park discovered and safely removed a large snapping turtle. They are an invasive species here, but I am certain it was treated with respect and will find a suitable home. However, Stacy's Funny Farm does not take in Snapping Turtles, and Dr. Pepper, our Red-Eared Slider Turtle, would not appreciate sharing his happy home with a monster like this.

Why are Snapping Turtles?

What Else Do Capybaras Eat? Rodent teeth continually grow, therefore they chew. Everybody knows what a mouse hole looks like and that a tiny mouse chewed it into existence. Beavers chew down big trees for their dams, lodges, and then they eat it for lunch. Capybaras eat grass and corn on the cob, but what else do they eat?

How (not) to supplement your capybara's diet.

This image features a rabbit resting on the ground in a shaded, natural setting. Its fur is a mix of warm golden-brown and white, with a striking white blaze running down its nose and chest. The rabbit’s ears stand tall, catching the sunlight, while its eyes and relaxed posture give it a calm and gentle look. Around the bunny, twigs, leaves, and patches of greenery frame the scene, enhancing the earthy, woodland atmosphere. Sunlight filters through, casting a warm glow that highlights the rabbit’s golden coloring. The text on the image reads: “@OBDsity BUNNIES WHO ARE GOLDEN.” The overall mood is serene and sunlit, emphasizing the bunny’s quiet beauty.

How Big are Capybaras? Capybaras are the world's largest living rodents. Extinct species of capybaras are even bigger. So when people claim to have seen a capybara on a river bank in they have seen a nutria, which is maybe about twenty pounds. Muskrats are about four pounds. Beavers can weigh up to one hundred pounds, but if you see that tail, there is no mistaking a beaver.

Capybaras are probably bigger than you think.

Norman’s Nonsense – 46 The Pigeon Story The elderly lady pigeon has passed and the dude pigeon is bereft. I lost my own sweet goose two years ago, so I understand completely. However, I faced my solitude with dignity and decorum. Phoenix insists that the Farm Manager open the door to his pen, and now he flies around willy-nilly as if he is the star of the show.

So now there is a pigeon flying all around the aviary.
