I was asked to provide 10-12 photos from my past for a presentation at the local university. I’m going to speaking on a panel in March. Ulp.

Going through old photos. Strange. Like this one:

I must be about fourteen in this photo. Maybe 15. The best part was parading the coiffed poodles through the mall to get to the photo studio. White standard Poodles are awesome. Miki was the girl in the show clip (with her front legs partially shaved). I loved her so much. Both of these poodles (the other dog is Max, Miki’s brother) were the reason I learned to clip dogs. I spent most of my high school years and a bunch of college summers earning pocket money by clipping dogs. But Max and Miki were the most fun to clip. So elegant.
