Newbies handling my section, Twilight, Coming back
... really?!", yes my friend it is just me and Claire usually. They have started coming back earlier though which is good.
We have a new German girl named Chris. She's not a bad worker at all, maybe a bit slow but she's new, but she is not so great with the sloths. I love my section, don't get me wrong but they are not the nicest of sloths. Most of them took at least 10 days to warm to me and their affection is opening their mouths at me and trying to shove my ...
The one with Sarah's first earthquake
... had a fairly good day as I got to play vet assistant again. Marcelo taught me how to do x-rays and I got to do urine strip tests and I had to pull urine out of Priscilla the sloths bladder with a needle. That my friends is NOT easy! We also had to release some gas which FYI, stinks. Sloth ***** smell seriously bad, probably all the vegetables. I also managed to stab myself with a needle that had just been used to pull out urine from ...
The day I was meant to leave the sanctuary, or not

My poor ill babies and angry words
... what I'm doing.
On that note. After 5 days of saying there was something wrong with Gi I got Marcelo back in to look at him again. He has tons of bald patches and he doesn't look right at all. Marcelo looked at him and pointed out his white gums/roof of his mouth and said he probably had anaemia. He said he'd seen something similar in another sloth, mobli, and he didn't survive! Apparently there's nothing they can do as they don't know ...
Arrival at the sloth sanctuary!
... sloths, the sanctuary etc. We then helped to feed the sloths that would be in our section while we were here. I have section 2 which are all two toed sloths, looking forward to getting to know them all. At the moment they all look pretty much the same and there are lots of names! Linda is a bit older, maybe nearing 60. Yvette had insinuated that she might want to change beds, I had a double to myself, and I was really hesitant to give it up for a bunk ...
