Today whee want to show you some pigtures of the fun whee had putting our Caplin puzzle together! This puzzle starring Caplin and Neptune the guinea pig has a bit of a story behind it.
Caplin ROUS was a very well known and beloved capybara who lived with his owners and co-pets (including but not limited to piggies, rabbits, and horses). Although his home was in Texas, he had quite an international presence and was adored by many around the world. His legion of loyal fans delighted in hearing about him and his daily adventures.
Sadly and unexpectedly, Caplin passed away in January earlier this year. Since so little is known about capybaras, his owner Melanie set up the
ROUS Foundation for Capybara Veterinary Medicine shortly thereafter with the goal of learning more about capybaras in captivity and their care. The proceeds from this series of
puzzles featuring Caplin goes towards the foundation.
As you can see from our pigtures, this particular puzzle features Caplin and Neptune the guinea pig nuzzling (sniffing?) inquisitively at each other. Our humans liked it a lot, and thought it was very cute. Since whee are piggies and capybaras are our cousins, they gave it to us to put together. Out of all of us, Belka thinks she looks the most capybara-like so she was particularly interested.

Okay, so maybe Belka didn't really put the entire puzzle together. And maybe the rest of us didn't help her that much either. And fine, maybe our humans helped us somewhat. But only a little. And only when whee weren't busy eating. But really, whee did nearly all of the work!
