Mother's Day- don't bother sending flowers or cards- but bones or dog treats would be nice
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.
