Man Reunites Baby Sloth with Mom and She Says 'Thank You' in the Sweetest Way Possible
Man Reunites Baby Sloth with Mom and She Says 'Thank You' in the Sweetest Way Possible originally appeared on PetHelpful. We all love a story with a happy ending, especially when it comes to animals that need help. Baby sloths occasionally fall out of trees, and without human intervention, they often are never reunited with their moms. But that's not the case for this sloth and her baby. Wildlife Rescuers shared the video of the rescue, and it'll make you smile. It's always heartwarming to see someone reunite a baby sloth with their mother, but this video was a bit different because the mother actually says thank you to the rescuer after she gets her baby back. Mom hugs her baby, happy to have them back, but what she does next is the sweetest thank you you'll ever see! And if you've never heard a baby sloth before, make sure your sound is on! It probably won't be surprising to hear that Wildlife Rescuers' video of the sloth thanking her rescuer immediately went viral and has more than 10 million views and over 5 thousand comments. People loved the sweet exchange between the grateful mother and the rescuer! Commenter @ItzKat pointed out, "That's probably the fastest she's ever moved," while @gusncharly joked, "Mom's thinking you just saved her a 3-hour trip down to the base of the tree to pick up the little guy! LOL!" @Dena swooned, "How appreciative she was to the rescuer." @Durton said what we were all thinking, "I don't think I could ever let go! What an amazing experience!"Did you know that, unlike some other baby animals, baby sloths are born weighing only 10 ounces, but they are born with sharp claws and a full set of teeth? Not only that, but they can climb as soon as they're born. While they are supposed to cling to their mother's fur for the first six months, just like toddlers, they enjoy exploring their new world. This may explain why so many of them get separated from their mom because if they let go, they fall. Baby sloths may explore, but they can't run away from mom since they only move at a whopping 15 feet per minute. Imagine how long it would take for Mom to climb down to retrieve her baby or try to get across a busy road. Here's a fun sloth fact: Some sloths live their entire lives in the same tree. Since they can live for up to 40 years, I imagine it must get incredibly boring to never leave the tree!

The FREE gift teachers want from students at the end of the year – it takes minutes to do & isn't a handwritten card
WITH the end of term fast approaching, if you have no idea what to get your child's teacher, you've come to the right place. So if you've got a little one and aren't sure whether to buy their teacher a gift card, a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates to say thank you, don't worry, we've got you covered. 6 6 6 6 It comes after a mum-of-two named Lou took to social media to ask teachers what gifts they actually want to receive. The content creator shared her short clip with the caption 'Primary school teacher gifts help?!' Alongside her video, Lou then asked: 'Primary school teachers: What makes a great gift? 'I don't want to just get a mug or a key ring. 'Tell me something you actually WANT to get?' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ lemon_squeezey, was posted just three days ago, but has quickly racked up 242,600 views, 566 likes and 916 comments. Teachers But there's also a free item that takes minutes to do and isn't a handmade card. Not only this, but others swore by DIY crafts, whilst some teachers would prefer to receive something a bit more fun. At the same time, teachers also acknowledged the gifts they do not want to receive - and key rings are firmly on the list. I'm a teacher & there are four end of term gifts I can't STAND receiving One teacher shared a free idea that is so simple but really effective: "An email to the headteacher saying how amazing we are." To this, Lou replied: "Love this idea, 100% going to do this!" Another responded and agreed: "I am a secondary teacher - and I would say it works even better (emailing headteacher) than in primary. We rarely get presents etc and even more rarely get recognised for our work!" At the same time, someone else responded: "Yes this would be a great gift. Appreciation is the best gift." Not only this, but other teachers revealed alternative gifts they would love to receive, as one person said: 'A card is perfect but if you can a voucher is much appreciated. Should you buy a teacher a gift? IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term. Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school. "But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too. "With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business. "And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation. "After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation? "I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers. "While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for. "And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget." "Please no coffee cups or key rings or things like that.' Another added: 'The most useful present I ever got was a gift card. The whole class contributed to an M&S Voucher. I had £200 and bought new bedding and new towels and honestly was so appreciative as I'd wanted to replace them for ages.' Whilst a third commented: 'I had a lovely little notebook and the mum had written a little message inside saying what a fantastic job I had done with supporting her son. That appreciation meant the world to me.' My class last year all clubbed together and got the teacher and myself a John Lewis voucher TikTok user Not only this, but the woman continued: 'I also had a pot that was hand-printed by the child and was dated, which is also something to cherish.' Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: 'I work in a school, and whilst everything is absolutely appreciated, one class all put together and bought us a bottomless brunch in Manchester. It was lovely!' At the same time, another user explained: 'I am a LSA [Learning Support Assistant] and don't expect gifts but love a homemade card.

Ink over email: Why handwritten notes still win in business
Why is it that we still get a tiny thrill from checking the mailbox each day? Rationally, we know what's in there: bills we don't want, catalogs we never ordered, and that bulky Valpak stuffed with coupons we'll never use. But somehow, despite the noise, there's a quiet hope we might find something meaningful. Something personal. Something real. Maybe even a long-lost penpal letter. And every once in a while, we do. There it is – your name, written in pen. A handwritten envelope. And inside? A genuine thank-you note. No automation. No mass email. Just ink on paper and real human appreciation. That little envelope has the power to elevate your entire day. In a society obsessed with social media, texts, AI, speed and automation, the handwritten thank-you note has become an endangered species. But let me tell you: this lost art isn't just a sentimental throwback – it's a powerful tool that can accelerate your career, grow your business and make you more money. Why I Write 5 To 10 Thank-You Notes Every Week For over 25 years, I've never stopped writing handwritten thank-you notes. It's not because I have time to kill – trust me, I don't. It's because I've seen the ROI firsthand. When you take five minutes to write a thoughtful message that says, "I see you, I appreciate you," it sticks. It differentiates you. And in business, differentiation is everything. The whole THX thing on text just isn't cutting it. These aren't generic "Congrats!" or "Well done!" scribbles. They're sincere expressions of gratitude – direct, personal, and specific. In today's digitally distracted world, the impact of that kind of authenticity is impossible to overstate. We live in a 24/7, always-on environment where texts, emails and Slack messages fly by faster than most people can process. But when someone receives a handwritten note, they pause. They engage. They remember. Want to Get Ahead? Start Here. Let me cut to the chase: if you're serious about building a successful career, expanding your network, or scaling your business, you need to resurrect this simple practice. Want to nail the second interview? Want clients to remember you – and refer you? Want to create real centers of influence in your life? Want to build a reputation as someone who gets it? Then start writing thank-you notes. Why? Because almost no one does it. Your competition is too busy – or too lazy. That means you have a wide-open opportunity to create emotional resonance where others barely make an impression. Recently, I was on former Congresswoman Mary Bono's podcast "Sagely Speaking." It was humbling to be on the podcast being interviewed by her, but after the podcast I took the time to write a handwritten thank you and send out a small token of my appreciation for having me on the show. These are the small things you can be doing every day to improve your career and increase your bottom line. Leaders Say "Please" and "Thank You" You'd be shocked how many people go through their careers expecting things from others without offering even the most basic courtesies. "Please." "Thank you." Common words, uncommon in practice. Want to build real loyalty within your team? Start showing appreciation. Say thank you – out loud, in writing, in public. It costs nothing, and it earns everything: trust, morale, retention. And if you're a business owner or executive, hear this: culture starts at the top. I lead by example. Since launching my companies more than 18 years ago, I've made it a point to write cards every single week. Real cards, with real ink. And the response? People – young and old – actually thank me for sending a thank-you card. That's not strange. That's a signal. A signal that in today's economy, emotional intelligence is as valuable as financial intelligence. The Hidden Profit in Paper and Ink Here's what nobody teaches you in business school: relationships build revenue. Appreciation drives referrals. Consistency earns loyalty. When you write thank-you notes consistently, you strengthen your reputation, multiply your touchpoints and turn acquaintances into advocates. That translates to better job offers, warmer leads and stronger partnerships. In short – it makes you money. Try this: commit to writing one handwritten thank-you note per day for a year. That's 365 notes. Do it with heart. Be specific. Be real. Then sit back and watch what happens. People will call you. They'll refer you. They'll think of you when opportunity arises. Because you didn't just transact – you connected. The Bottom Line The handwritten thank-you note isn't just a courtesy. It's a career strategy. It's a business-growth tactic. It's a leadership move. So, if you're looking for the next "life hack" to level up your career or stand out in your industry, you don't need an AI tool, a digital funnel or a viral post. You just need a pen, some paper and five minutes a day. Gratitude isn't old school. It's smart business and smart in life. And in a world where everyone's rushing to go faster, the ones who slow down and say thank you will be the ones who go furthest.
