Ralph Makes a Break for It

9:47 PM: 

"Ah HAH!  The others are sleeping — now is my perfect opportunity to scale these walls to FREEDOM!"

11:19 PM: 

"YES!  Almost halfway to the top now, and then it’s goodbye to this provincial life — and hello to adventure!"

2:31 AM: 

"This box is no place for a wayfaring vagabond such as I!  Just a few inches more, and the open road awaits!"

Friday: 

"The casinos of Monte Carlo! (ehn!) The vibrant culture of London and New York! (ungh!) The pristine sands of Cabo San Lucas!"

2012: 'Ah, I can taste the mojitos now...'

Drop us a postcard when he hits the other side, Matilda S.

  4. foxy says:

    You’d think with those claws he could pull himself to freedom in no time, relatively speaking.

    fuzzy head! Is that a mini Winnie the pooh bear in the middle of the pic??
    Fabulous captioning NOM TOM!

  7. @sunnymum: That is a diaper, and yes indeed, it appears to have a little Pooh on it.

  11. sunnymum says:

    Okay. I didn’t even SEE the diaper! It’s EVEN cuter! And now I see that’s his leg coming out of the diaper, not the adjacent lemur’s tailio! Wow, a whole ‘nother level of qte!

  12. sunnymum says:

  19. Xtineebee says:

    Wow! And I’m just about to leave for Costa Rica on my QUEST TO WITNESS WILD SLOTHS! Fate, I tell you all, fate! Ralph, give me some karma; sloth spotting-fu is difficult magic, I am told.

  20. Fegli says:

  22. Leilani says:

    OMG. The unbelievably intense look of concentration as he claws his way to the top is just TOOOOO precious!

  27. Hon Glad says:

    Quoth the sloth
    I am loath
    to flee this place,

    But I know and I trow,
    when I go,
    I’ll seek a faster pace.

  28. Babs says:

    Heeheeheeheeheeheehee! I do love an optimistic sloth. Meanwhile, how awesome is a box o’ sloffs?! Very!

  29. Mary (the first) says:

    That little guy is adorable and the diaper totally makes it. BUT .. I’m having trouble untangling the rest of the brown furry stuff. Is that his mom? siblings? both?
