Bell explained that she turned 31 this past summer and Dax told her, “I’m getting to get you a gift no one else can ever get in their lifetime.”

She said on the day of her party, there was a knock at the door and he told her to “grab the dogs and go within the bedroom.” She immediately thought sloth! “My entire life has been watching for this moment — i am serious — after I would get to interact with a sloth.”
