Maddie is the most perfect companion in the whole world. She loves going for walks down to the ocean to swim and get her paws super sandy. She is always smiling when she is running on the beach finding shells and driftwood. Maddie loves to come up next to you and shake off when she is wet, and she dries off on her walk home. This is a photo of Maddie and me enjoying the sunset together!
