Mar10 Mario Luigi (his government name) came to me on 10 March 2023. He had been with a foster for about a month, after spending his first year on the street. He has become a major part of my life, and so I have many little songs, poems, and drawings about or related to him, and tend to talk about him a lot, so even though this is a site dedicated mostly to my progress as a mandolin player, I have a feeling my dog is going to pop up a lot.
Mario (AKA Mars, Marsie, Marzo, Zozo, Fuzzy Dog, Baby Dog, Little Brother, etc) didn’t have much experience with being anything but a wild animal when he first came to live with me, and was scared of everything – laying down in the road whenever we saw a people, another dog, a cat, a bird, leaves blowing in the wind, etm.
We’ve spent a lot of time working on new habits and new skills, and Mario has become a wonderful companion, even if we still are working on how to best behave around new friends.

Mario in the Snow
My first time taking Mario out in the snow. He was discovered by the State Police in a locked fence enclosure in a blizzard, so it wasn’t HIS first time in the snow. But it was our first time together in the snow.
