Desi (named after DESI Arnaz from I Love Lucy show) is one year old male chocolate lab. He is so sweet and loving. He loves to give kisses and he loves his babies (stuffed animals for dogs) and playing with his ball! He has the sweetest soul! He is a very go with the flow, laid back dog if you feel like napping the afternoon away on a Sunday he will curl up right by your feet and sleep the afternoon away with you or if you’re the more active type he also loves playing outside, playing in the water, and loves going for walks or runs!! He is super flexible ;) His favorite thing is playing outside in his large sized kiddie pool of water in the summer or swimming! He loves to play fetch the ball or stick outside and to be chased around outside too!!
