Geddy and little dog Starr in Panama had adopted a sloth, Jessica. An ex-pat friend, living close by in Cacique, operated a sloth rescue. Sadly, baby sloths often fall from tree tops, getting separated from their Moms. Typically, this wouldn’t go well, but Dave’s rescue was a blessing.

Fortunately, I found two mini horses nearby looking for a new home: Nikita, a tiny dappled gray filly with a platinum mane, and her buddy, Rasta, a slightly larger pinto colt
