We wanted a second long-haired Doxie to keep our Mocha company. He needed a playmate and we wanted to share our love with a rescued pup. Desi was approximately 14 years old when we adopted her over a year ago. You would never know it. She has more energy than our seven year old. They play together like puppies. It was the best decision we made to adopt a senior. She is a little sweetheart and the perfect companion to Mocha. There is no shortage of Doxie kisses around our house.
