I Love my MOTHERS! I currently have my 9th generation of young girls growing up- they are:
Daughters of Acadia Opinion Provided "Chica"
 |
| Tecla |
Acadia
Everyone's Opinion, "Trestle"
Daughter of GCh. Acadia Light Up The Stage, "Lolo"
Acadia All Aglow, "Granby"
GChS. Acadia's Stage Presence, CC, "Liza" is the mother to both Chica and Lolo. When Chica was delivering the litter of puppies that had Tecla and Trestle, Liza was in the room too and as Chica was having contractions and delivering the next puppy, and I was putting the already delivered puppies into the warming box. Liza was drying them off by licking them. I was busy with the task of delivering the litter and I didn't think about pictures at the time- and now I sure wish I had taken the time to think about how much it would mean to me later.

Liza kept wanting to get into the warming box with them, but it is not big enough for that, so I made her stand next to the box for her self imposed duties. She was 11.5 years old at the time. I was so impressed, and of course I anthropomorphized that she knew these were her grand-puppies and she wanted to make sure they had the best start in life. I don't really know if she understood they are her grandchildren, but I do know that she is a a Super Mom.
Chica takes after Liza as a Super Mom and it is my hope that Tecla and Trestle will one day take after their mother. The saying good mothers, make good mothers has held true for me so far, and I hope to continue and celebrate Mother's Day every year for many more to come.
To my own mother, who passed away 6 years ago- You
were a Super Mom too and I miss you more than tongue can tell.
She is 8 months old.
She is one of the GCh. Solange Ultravox X Acadia Opinion Provided puppies.
So Happy for all involved. Susan and Alain Lamoureax have been wonderful co-owners. They live in Alaska and have made the commitment to completing the championship by traveling to Connecticut so I could show her. Lucky for all of us, she had a very good win percentage and made the process relatively easy.
Latte also has 2 Herding Tested (HT) Legs, but they were under the same judge, so she needs 1 more under a different judge for the HT title. I am looking forward to her having titles at Both ends of her name!
The next day, Latte won Best of Breed over many other champions. It was a large entry, and an honor to be recognized.
Congratulations to Gregory and Guy Okada. Gregory has moved to Hawaii with Guy. Lucky Dog!
I wish them both Luck as they show and become a team. I am excited to see what comes.
I am very excited about these three. The fourth boy- now Teddy- could have been shown, but a perfect pet home came along and claimed him. I posted pictures of this litter when they were 6 weeks old. Tecla really reminds me of Liza. I just love looking at them- and they each have super temperaments. The ones remaining here are Tecla, Trestle, Tristan. These are the GCh. Solange Ultravox (Graham) x Acadia Opinion Provided (Chica) puppies. I hope they are my next show prospects.
