Lansdale Area Puppy of the Week: Mocha

LANSDALE, PA -- Submissions are in, and it's time for your weekly dose of local puppy.

This week we're featuring a handsome hound named Mocha. Here's what the family had to say:

Our baby girl Mocha is a Shitzu, Shelti, Helti, and Terrier mix. She is going on 18 weeks old. Our 13 year-old daughter rescued her but was not ready to be a mommy yet! So I have become more of the mommy. The experience has reminded us of what its like to have a baby again. She still is our daughters puppy though. But I love her and enjoy taking care of her. She is so sweet, silly, full of energy, and loves to play! We go for long walks in the morning. She loves her belly rubbed and loves playing tug with her rope. She goes limp when we play rope because she loves to be pulled and dragged around on the floor. She loves chasing anything that moves. She has two cats for brothers and a bearded dragon for a sister. Most of the time she listens well and she's learning and training well! She also loves people and wants everyone's attention. She has already made a lot of friends! She also is bringing us closer as a family. We are a family of 7 now!
