Margot is the mascotte of our neighbors. We have seen her as a puppy when she was at first taken home. At that time she was 2 months old: she had sharp, tiny teeth and was long like one of my shoes. In this photo session, she was 1 year old. Nos she has become a buoyant, noisy, exciting girl. She is not the most obedient, but she is super affectionate and is always seeking for some treats. She is in love with her toys and, on the leash, she pulls like a mule but we love her: she is terrific and is now the soul of the neighborhood! Thank you for posing for me, little girl!

Being cute comes at a price. In fact you end up dealing with a lot of fans! Tuono (his name translated in English is “Thunder”) was not only adored by his owner but also by neighbors and other friends. I was a proud supporter of this mini superstar and real poser! I still remember his cheeky expression when he wanted something done according to his way!

Gino lives in adoration of Fede, his human mom, he is her shadow indeed! He does not disdain the sofa (and his hair matches it!) + has an impressive number of puppets at his disposal. Enjoy this lovely, furry memory!

Rotten [Parma, 2015]

His straight but also crooked whisker and his white tipped were his hallmarks. His name was Rotten and he was the cats of friends of mine. In the living room he felt like a king, even though he did not disdain sleeping with his owners. He was a curious, chubby pal, quite jealous of his masters’ affection. He was gorgeous and cuddly and this is how he is remembered.

I did not know whether to name this post Poldo & Martina OR Martina & Poldo. Then I went on for putting the 4 paws little devil’s name first, as he definitely was the shining star and a determined drama actor during our shooting! In April 2013, Poldo was 5 months old (Martina had taken him a couple of months prior) but his connection with Martina was already incredibly strong. He was really protective towards her and feeling quite possessive. He hid a big personality in a tiny body. I have always liked Dachshunds: they are clever little warriors that can defend themselves forcefully, they are quite stubborn and fierce and…they live in a completely horizontal world! Enjoy their memories!
