I too held my father in his hour of death, caring for him was an honor.

I just happened to catch a rerun
of this special last night.
I fell in love with Newbie
along with all the other babies.
I was very saddened to learn that Newbie had past, but know you all did
everything you could for her.
Your love and caring for these animals
is so awesome and we all greatly
appreciate what you do.
Thankyou

Thank you for sharing.

Out of curiosity, what clinical signs did Newbie show before she was diagnosed with pneumonia?

Thank you for writing to us…it’s difficult work that the team has taken on. No loss goes without its pain or without something beautiful coming of it. Newbie gave Sam the inspiration to devote her lifes work to the sloths.

Watched the PBS re-run last night and have been haunted since. Tears the heart out now to know Newbie’s fate. What a sweet soulful little darling she was. And you are awesome.

I know you guys must have lost way too many sloths by now and I’m guessing as is the case of domestic pets, it just never gets any easier. I just finished watching Newbie’s story and just like Sam I was hoping and praying but for some reason, at the same time, I had a niggling fear that she would die. I don’t know exactly why. I just did. So the only thing anybody can do now is to keep her in your hearts and use her memory to spur you all on to keep saving those beautiful little ones. Keep up the good work.

I watched the show a while back and it had come up in my mind several times about Newbie…hows Newbie?
I needed to know…Now I know
So here I sit literally flooded in tears ?!
I watched as you refused to name her…proper name or no proper name, your soul was mercilessly trapped, dedicated & painfully entangled.
Her story has had a huge imprint on the hearts of many. I hope that the necropsy gave you vital information unknown before to help in the fight to help you help other Newbies.
My heart is heavy for you and Newbie.
I know with your understanding and dedication other Newbies will benefit in your gifted loving hands…?

Like others here I just had to know the rest of Newbie’s story and am unashamed to admit I’m sitting here in tears. YOU, Sam, are a beautiful soul for all your hard work and the heartache it inevitably brings at times. Newbie had the very best of chances and was loved, sooo many animals – and people – never get to experience this. Thank you for everything.

I spent time volunteering at The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust a couple of years ago, one day I’d love to help out at your centre too.

I had a sinking feeling, but was hoping for better news. Glad your such a caring person & that you gave all you could in the time she was with you. God bless you!!
