More: Bennie is my 1 year old goldendoodle, and Lilly is my best friends dog. Meeting Lilly made me want a golden so badly since she is the sweetest most loving dog I have ever met. Bennie and Lilly are absolute best friends and we live together in Santa Barbara, CA. Their favorite morning activity is heading out to the beach and finding whatever stick they can find to fetch with. On this same day i have a photo series of them retrieving a stick in the waves and brining it in together. Bennie is the biggest goofball of a dog and is so loyal to me. Getting him as a puppy in a house with roommates i was not sure if he would know that i was his mom, but he definitely does. Adopting him was the best decision I have ever made and i cannot even fathom a life without him
