I sat out in a fireworks stand this year and barked my head off trying to teach Mario to speak. He
rarely barked back then. It took about 4-5 days of off and on working on it; but hey, it worked. Now he speaks on command and we are trying to incorporate that into asking to go outside.
I just hoped no one saw/heard me, but I got done what I was trying to do so what the heck

. Even strangers enjoy and can use some laughs now and then LOL.
