Willie, I haven't had a chance until this morning to see all of your pictures of Dakota and Mario.

What tender pictures of both of them. How old is your Grandson? He sure is a special boy - you can just see it in his face.

Mario sure seems to appreciate that about him too.

All of us at Thursdays just adore Mario - and I was honored to have his clone at my BBQ - although he sure made a racket. Only Laurie could calm him down.

Is the real Mario just as vocal?

Thanks for sharing your video and pictures with us. They are very special.
