Mario is going to be on TV!!

He's almost as famous as the Rusty MONSTER from last year's Grand Old Day (the ONLY day of the year that you can have dogs at Billy's on Grand, so we HAD to bring him with us for a beer!).

So, make sure you watch Twin Cities Live on Channel 5which I'm pretty sure it's at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday. The video of it will probably be up after, so I'll make a link to that too.

Mario did well, though me, well, I'm not so sure about that one! You'll be able to pick me out pretty easily - the foster mom in a black shirt with blond hair. At least I put some make up on! HAHA!

Mario & Rusty In The Yard

Floppy Ears

I'm a sucker for the floppy ears.

Mario has got those sweet eyes and ears down to a science for getting a carrot.

Mario

Isn't this black lab adorable? He's Rusty's new foster brother from Pet Project Rescue. He's just fantastic (though about to be MUCH better after his neuter tomorrow!). He knows how to sit and is in the process of being crate trained. I can tell that he was an outdoor dog and probably a hunting dog (because he barks when he sees birds and rabbits... plus he sits automatically and waits for the command to go, which I haven't figured out yet). He's wonderful with Rusty and loves to play fetch.

So if you're looking for a retriever that actually retrieves who's probably about 2 1/2 or 3, you can apply for Mario with Pet Project Rescue!
