Mocha may look like a puppy but this cutie just turned 8 years old!🎂

This photo was taken at Charisma Clothing Boutique in St. Michaels, MD. I absolutely adored her pretty merle coloring. The merle gene modifies the dark pigment in the eyes, occasionally changing dark eyes to blue, or part of the eye to be colored blue. Since merle causes random modifications, both dark-eyed, blue-eyed, and odd-colored eyes are possible. Pigmentation on paw pads and nose may be mottled by pink. Charisma’s customers couldn’t resist Mocha’s beautiful features either!💞
