We have been taking Marco out and about for years and for most of those who truly could not have cared less.  However, in the past few years, and in particular this last summer it happened!  Marco had a desire to be out and about and has started engaging more fully in our excursions.  It makes things more exciting for all of us and evens finds us planning more to do with Marco.  Used to be a lot of avoidance of anything social for us because it was often more stressful than enjoyable for Tony and me!  Fortunately that is no longer the case!!
