Meet Cocoa - my parents adopted Doodle.

[HeatherA]

My parents got this lady from the DRC. Her previous owner shaved her down - completely... even her whiskers are cut short, and the vet says she has a little bit too much meat on her bones... She's a Labradoodle and did get more of that thick Lab body, though her face is narrow. She's very strong, very solid. She's a big girl, I think she was listed as 42lbs, her actual weight is 68lbs. She doesn't know it though - she is intimidated by my 11 week old Goldendoodle puppy, and tries to crawl in our laps.. She's a cuddle fiend. Very sweet, very loving.

I tried to get a good picture to show off her coloring, it's a silvery grey around her face. Very pretty. She looks a little timid in these pictures - she wasn't sure what to think of my camera. She kept wanting to come near me and I was asking her to stay on the couch.

Her name is currently Cocoa Bean, my parents are debating the pros and cons of keeping her name.

She sounds wonderful, and I'm sure she's going to be a very loved member of the family. I'm so happy for your parents...and for Cocoa. Thanks for the update.

She's beautiful! I love that your folks went to the DRC!! Curious to know what her name ends up being. She looks very regal.
