To hang, perchance to dream

I mean, really. What could be better? We got two happy sloths hangin' on down to you for the beginning of this beautiful late spring weekend! Don't squander it - go hug your favorite tree and slowly slide down it!!

I don't know, what do you think?

"I think we should definitely never have gotten up."

Happy Thursday, dear readers. Don't forget to cuddle.

Hello! I love you!

And you! And you and you! And you, and you, and you. Come to me. Or better yet, don't get out of bed. Not yet! It's not time! It's too early, and I heard it's going to rain later, so really, you should just stay there. I'll join you.

The most powerful sloth ever made.

I know. She looks pretty normal, right? But trust me; she's the chosen one. Be nice to her - it'll benefit you in the end.

Sloth on a wet barbed wire

It's the name of our hit new play! And today's sloth is the star! See below for an image from a recent rehearsal of the show's most famous scene, the slothwalk. Support your local sloth artists! Come warm a seat! Bring your friends! We'll provide the popcorn.

Ain't no power like the power of a slothpile...

... cause the power of the slothpile don't stop! (Say what!)

Happy Friday from all of us here at slothoftheday. Now go out and start a slothpile of your own.

Be honest, dear readers.

Sometimes don't you just want to hang upside down near a sparkling blue pool and air-dry? We do... and we're not afraid to admit it. If you want some tips, go ahead and ask today's sloth. We're sure he'd be happy to advise you.

Who needs a sloth?

You do! Here you go! Quick, before it's too late!

I will refrain from making road-crossing jokes

... but it's really hard. Here is a special treat for you, dear readers, on this rainy Tuesday. Keep an eye out for the flying at the end!

Mashed potatoes, please

And applesauce and bananas. Today's sloth isn't feeling so well so he's asking for some tummy-friendly foods. Toss in some dandelion greens and ginger and he'll love you forever.

Never fear, Friday's sloth is here!

It may be the end of the day but it's not quite over! We've still got a few hours left to squeeze in a sloth! And in honor of the very last day of SWIMMING SLOTHS WEEK, we bring you an extra-special live-action treat: swimming sloth video!! I know, I know -- you love us so much. Well, we love you too. So without further ado:

Behold.

What? Where? Who?!

Dear readers, our first order of business is to wish you a happy penultimate day of SWIMMING SLOTHS WEEK!! And in less jubilant news, we'd like to say that today's sloth is a little bit lost. It's not her fault - there's so much water everywhere, and it all looks the same!! Won't you help her out by lending her your little waterproof map? Thanks. You're swell.

Vrrrrrrrooooooooooom

Today's sloth has somewhere to be! Please don't get in the way of his power-swimming! It's better for everyone that way. We hope you had a fanfastic Day Three of SWIMMING SLOTHS WEEK!!!

Little more than a head and some fur

Happy Tuesday, faithful readers! It's Day Two of SWIMMING SLOTHS WEEK here at slothoftheday, and this beautiful morning brings us a brand-new water-soaked sloth who's not so much tiptoeing through the tulips as gliding through the fallen leaves. He looks so content, though, they may as well be tulips. Or maybe he prefers leaves. Who can know? Maybe you can ask him when he gets to the other side. You might have to wait through a few naps, though.

It's SWIMMING SLOTHS WEEK!

Yes dear readers, today we introduce to you a whole week of photos featuring your favorite tropical mammals making their collective way through various bodies of water. Paddling, floating, diving, splashing, and breast stroking are all game here at slothoftheday. And today's sloth is more than happy to start us off with a refreshing slothypaddle in the blue, blue water. Just close your eyes and pretend you're in Costa Rica! (It's pretty easy -- we do it every day.)

We'll be back tomorrow and all week with swimming sloths!

Love is in the air!

This is what sloths keep telling you! Make a friend! Hug a tree! Send good thoughts out into the universe and keep your ears peeled; you never know what will happen. Happy beautiful spring weekend from all of us at slothoftheday. We'll be back on Monday with a new themed week!

Maybe everything that dies, someday comes back

At least that's what today's sloth believes. If you have evidence to the contrary, we ask you not to tell him; he's happiest this way, slowly swinging between branches and awaiting the reincarnation of all his best friends, flora and fauna alike. And don't even think about borrowing his copy of "Nebraska". It won't end well.

The true meaning of slow food

Today's sloth sometimes worries that her ambition has gotten the best of her and she's bitten off more than she can chew, but then she remembers... there's no rush. Ever. She can chew as lackadaisically as she'd like, linger over morsels, and even nap between swallows. No one's gonna bother her, or tell her to hurry up. They're all somewhere else sleeping off their lunches. How nice it must be.

Some things are meant to be together

Seriously, have you ever seen a better combination than wicker and sloth? Not to mention that face. It's enough to launch a thousand ships, way more impressively so than some lady-human a million supposed years ago. Today's sloth wouldn't be caught dead being blamed for starting a war. He'd just like to cuddle you and show you his backyard. You'd be obliged to do it, too.

Today's sloth is sleepy.

And so are we. Fare thee well through the dark night, dear readers.
