My Baby Sloth
My baby sloth is so adorable. She is so cute, sometimes I sit and cuddle her for hours at a time. I suppose if my sloth was ugly, she would not be such a distraction, but since she is so comforting, it is easy to lose track of the time I spend with her. Sure, its great to kick back once and a while, but if I spend too much time entertaining my sloth she keep me from the best things in life.
