Below: Next 4 pictures.  Banjo was limping and his foot got swollen on Sun, May 20th. So that night we talked to Lydia and she said that if the swelling didn't go down by morning we should take him in. So I called early that morning to schedule an appointment for the vets office. They couldn't get him in until after 3 PM. Well Bindy was coming to watch Lizzy and William while I went into Syds class, so I hurried home and Bindy stayed to watch all the kids while I took Banjo to the vets office. They took an x-ray, came back ten minutes later to tell me  that Banjo had broken his dewclaw bone (which the bone was still in his paw even though his dewclaw had been removed as a pup) . It was a clean break and didn't need to be set at all. So they gave us some meds and we headed home after I paid $250. :(
They said it would take between 5-6 weeks to heal because he was older and overweight. He weighed in at 142 lbs. So we locked him in the basement so he wouldn't have to walk down stairs to go to the bathroom.

May 15th we went to the zoo. We got a membership pass for this year so we can go to the zoo as often as we want.
The kids had a lot of fun. Because Sydney was out of school, but school wasn't out there was almost no one there. We got to watch a snake moving around its cage for about 10 minutes. The kids loved it. The animals were all pretty active.
