Sloth saved from highway in Ecuador

Poor little scared sloth! But still so smiley!

I think I’ve been “tagged” in some version of this story about a dozen times since it happened just under a week ago, so here it is:

Motorists were reportedly brought to a standstill by the cute sloth, who was spotted clinging to a road barrier in the middle of a highway on Sunday. The transit police rescued the cute creature and took it to a veterinarian. The rescued sloth has become an internet sensation, being reported around the globe.

Crawling out of work on a Friday like

2016 is here.

Another year gone and left us in its wake. 2015 has been good to me – I got my PhD and started my first professional job, plus had a couple trips away and of course spent the year surrounded by family and friends.

On New Year’s Eve my degree was conferred and I was officially awarded the title of Doctor, so 2016 starts with a new title, new degree, and gainful employment!

Now that it’s New Year’s Day I can finally start using my new Sloths 2016 Calendar!! Up first in January is little Pumpkin!2016_calendarcalendar_january
