My husband and I have pretty much always had dogs. Previous to our most recent dog, we had two: a Havanese who lived to be 17 and a 1/2 and a poodle mix, whom we rescued. They both passed away within months of each other in 2022. We waited a few month snd then we adopted Desi. We named him Desi because we thought he was part Havanese. a Cuban breed. So he's named after Desi Arnaz. I found out later that Desi is short for Desidario. Which translates as "desired" or "longed for child." And that he is. As it turns out, he's 40% poodle, and 40% Chihuahua! He's about 8 years old now and the sweetest thing ever.
