This was the day I met a Sloth, and it was the best day ever.

Words can’t describe how special this experience was. To touch, feed, talk to and be so close to these beautiful animals was simply breath-taking. I feel like a life goal has been fulfilled and can’t wait for the next time I can meet a sloth.

What made it even more special was a) I just met the oldest sloth in captivity IN THE WORLD, Miss C and b) I didn’t know the zoo actually had TWO sloths- I went in expecting one, and got to meet TWO, Miss C (40 years old) and Algae (23), both Hoffman’s two-toed sloths.

I will never forget this. IMG_6627 SandAlgae SandMissC

Happy Birthday to my Best Friend

Today is the boy’s birthday! We had friends over last night, have spent all day together today and will see family tonight. He is the cherry on top of my sloth-filled life and I love him so very very much, not least for putting up with this all-consuming obsession of mine (and, generally, encouraging it…).

To get into the party mood, here’s some pics of Buttercup the Sloth on her birthday, from the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. buttercupbirthday buttercupbirthday2

Bob the Sloth Tips Germany to Win the World Cup

I don’t really get into soccer very much (at all), and since Costa Rica got eliminated from the World Cup, even less. But when a sloth is involved in tipping, you just know I’ll be on board! Wonder if he will be correct this time?

Also, can I please have a sloth to make decisions for me???

For a link to the story on Bob the Sloth and also the video of his tipping for the finals, click here.bob-the-sloth

Sad Sloth

Feeling a bit down in the dumps today. The job that I do can be pretty ruthless to people who want to actually have a career. *sigh* Pick yourself up, girl!
