Sometimes, Mario can be very vocal, when he gets all excited! Very shrill! Most of the time, he is calm, and just gives a very soothing sound.

Dakota is going to be 11 the 18th of this month. I just can't believe that he is almost a teenager! He looks just like his daddy did when he was that age, its like having my son back little again. Dakota is the most loving child! Always has a hug and a kiss for me.

Laurie I think Mario love being the Thursday mascot! Its like he really knows how much everybody loves him. I sit out on the porch and tell him all about it. He never fails to give me one of those big smiles.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, Mario and I really appreciate them all!
