For those of you who are new here, I posted photos of the two Tito x Abby litters in 2013 and 2015. Tito is the awesome boy owned by hotel4dogs on this forum and Abby is my girl and mom-extraordinaire to four beautiful litters of puppies. Well Tito and Abby became grandparents yesterday when daughter Sofie had her first litter of puppies - what seems to be the magic number for my girls (a blessing and a curse...) - 13!! To give credit to proud papa -- though he could be here helping clean up the whelping box if you ask me ;-) -- he is Matthew: GCH SHR Westmarch I Beelieve UD GO RAE JH WC VCX BISS. I will post photos and video here as the puppies grow for all you puppy addicts to follow. Photos: new mom Sofie and pups, and Grandma Abby helping out.
So sweet!! I loved the picture of Abby checking out the grand pups. And Matthew, with 13 (!) Puppies cleaning the whelping box is the least you can do! LOL. But sires...just like men...you know how it is...
Actually Grandma Abby was helping out - cleaning up little puppy butts. And if one of them is fussing too much she comes to get me. She was always quite the super mom - and now super Grandma.
I'm so glad to hear everything went well, I knew Sophie would be a good Mom, your girls are all fantastic moms. Large litters appear to be in your lines .
Donna, are you going to share the name, or is it too soon?
BTW, Tito and I are heading to MN probably next week for a *date*, hoping to meet Matthew in person. He's an amazing dog!
If there are no litter theme restrictions, he is going to be Four Lakes Triple Play, in honor of how well our Chicago Cubs are playing this year, and call name Tripp
I actually wondered about this! Something in the water?? But I moved this summer, 20 miles SW, even into a different county. No fertility drugs involved, I swear! Maybe it's the Fromm dog food ;-)
That is amazing that Abby has helped care for her sweet little grand babies! What a wonderful grandmama she is The picture of her with Sofie and the puppies is one of the sweetest pictures I have ever seen. I just love it. Please post lots of pics of Sofie, Abby and the "kids"!

I love the little one who was trying to scramble up to eat and got turned over, I think that's a little girl though. Can't really tell from the video. They are all adorable.
Ohhh, they are so adorable you just want to crawl in there with them. Are you all settled in your new home and enjoying retirement? The puppies will keep you busy so you won't even miss work!
Not missing work one bit! When the "back to school" ads came on in August I thought HA, I'm not going back to school! I am moved but there is still a lot of unpacking and organizing to do. Winter seems like a good time for that. The new house was move in ready but the yard was a jungle. So I have had some landscaping done and have also been doing a lot of yard work myself. There is no way I could have managed a fall litter if I was still teaching. I always did summer litters but someone (Sofie) did not cooperate with that this year. Love the new house, being out in the country, being retired, having lots of time and space for puppies...all of it.
I have a feeling that this thread is going to be one of the first ones a lot of us will check each day. There's nothing like good news and puppies to start the day.
Sofie looks so much like Shala in color that it amazes me. And seeing the contrast with Abby-who looks so red when next to Sofie-is another surprise. They're all beautiful, as are the puppies, of course. I love all of these Abby and Tito Tots! I am still hoping to have one someday.

When we got together for Shala and Sofie's first birthday, even I couldn't tell them apart when they were out in the yard running and playing. There is even a photo that I would be SURE was Shala - but I took it, and I know it was Sofie. They were so alike.
