Confessions of a Sandy Diaper

Banjo wakes up after having a super-vivid dream about being caught in a dolphin net

Turns out he was just sleeping too close to the edge.

And thats ok, because it didn't hurt

and he'll probably do it again.

there aren't words for this kind of cute.....

only pictures.

During the day, Banjo is allowed to go wild in his cage

... and never out from under the watchful eye of highly trained guard dog Luci (-fer), of course.

We've stressed since early on that he needs to be vigilant about sun protection

He's a very understanding 6mo. old.

Banjo doesn't like being dressed like a child laborer.

CHECK MATE!

There's a place in the Santa Clarita Valley called Scooter's Jungle...

and if you are/own a five year old in the Greater Los Angeles Area, you know about this.

This was the first time he saw his mother from behind bars (net), and a primordial anxiety manifested across his sweet little face.

Pondering the Jump-Jump and the concept of weightlessness.

Of course how do you begin to comprehend jumping when you've enjoyed an exclusively zero gravity atmosphere your entire existence thus far?

Then it was time to leave and Banjo decided he was not ready to go.

The Scooter's staff members said this happens all the time.

 

 After five minutes pass with no progress toward the door made, the Scooter's Staff retrieve the tazer pops from the emergency kit at the front desk and bring them up the four floors of the Jungle Cage to be administered orally.

Feeding Time at the Zoo!

The mammal clutches the trainers hand to steady the feeding aparatus.

It decends into a trancelike state known in this species as comamilkura, or "milk coma."

After feeding, its back into the cage.
