When I was a child, my grandpop had a little white poodle named Mimi. Whenever it came time for Mimi to cross the rainbow bridge, a new Mimi would appear. Almost magically. So in reality, there were an innumerable number of Mimis… all little white fluffballs, all mean, MEAN dogs. I’m not sure why, but she was mad at life! I distinctly remember that wicked snarl and the inevitable snap that would come next. It’s unfortunate the Mimi defined my perception of poodles, as these two were quite the opposite of my Mimi experience…
Lulu Belle is the black poodle, Roxi is the white. Lulu is older, wiser, shy, and calm. She is the “perfect dog.” Roxi is the classic little sister… bold, adventurous, and always testing her limits. Dina described Roxi as “not the perfect dog. But that’s why she’s loved.” I love that. We did our session right after the record-breaking snowfall and I’m glad we did… I love the look of the snow against their contrasting fur. Below are some of my favorites of Lulu Belle + Roxi the supermodel…
Check out those ears, blowing in the wind…
This is one of my favorites because I know it means a lot to Dina. Whenever Lulu needs some comfort, reassurance, or love… she stands right against Dina’s leg and puts her head up like this, waiting to be pet…
Seriously. I can’t get enough of this puffball tail!
