Coco is 10 years old and in very good health. Coco is a sweet, happy and loving dog. She enjoys giving lots of kisses. She enjoys playing in the yard, playing with her toys and snuggling on the sofa. She is crate trained, retreats there on her own and chooses to nap with a blanket over her head. She has never had accidents in the house nor has she ever chewed furniture. Coco is very affectionate. Coco wakes up happy every day, and is energetic in greeting the day, dancing around in circles, tail wagging, etc. She is the funniest dog that I have ever had and I have had quite a few. She makes me laugh every day. She brings so much joy just by watching her antics. You would never know she is a senior dog.
