Visiting Gari was always fun. When Angela visited at the same time, it was a party!
More visitors means more attention!
Everybody loved to swim with Gari.
Just like Lady and the Tramp!
Gari was always a bit spoiled. All pets should be at least a little bit spoiled!
Gourmet baby lettuce and fresh-picked grass, too!
Click on that photo up there ^ to see Angela’s excellent video of her visit!
Visitors are exhausting! Gari just wants to chill on his window seat.
Melanie explained that the visitors have come to do Important Work, and Gari is expected to help!
“You’re joking, right?”
Gari, Decoy Piig, and the Naked Mole Rats take a nap.
Yawn!
Later that evening . . .
Angela and Melanie with invisible thinking caps on
Gari is called to attention.
Now?
Angela needs a model.
“You’re going to have to bribe me!”
The “Three capybaras walk into a bar” t-shirt is in the works!
Melanie distracts Gari by pretending this is a photo shoot
Melanie takes several photos, and I take photos of her taking photos.
So humiliating!

Gari reviews the t-shirt design.
Which one is me?
Visitors ARE exhausting!
Zzzzzzzzzz
The next day, life is back to normal for Gari.
“I could do this forever!”
Munch munch munch, Gari was a hungry capy!
Keep on munching, hungrybara!

Garibaldi Rous died two weeks ago. This was the second of my four visits with him.

Devastating as Gari’s death was; this is positive. Seeing these is holding on to the happy memories that Gari’s visitors will hold dear. It is wonderful to have these glimpses of Gari’s life and how well he was cared for and loved.

Thank you. That is my intent, and I plan to publish two more, one for each of my visits.
