So, like...I went to Albuquerque hoping to come away with a DAM Team Q and hopefully a couple Q's towards our ADCH. But I DIDN'T expect what we did get:
DAM Team - Q and FIRST PLACE!!
Masters Standard (Sat.) - Q and 2nd place
Masters Gamblers - Q and 1st place
Steeplechase - Q and 2nd place
Masters Pairs - Q and 1st place
Masters Jumpers - Q (no placement)
We needed Pairs, Gamblers and Jumpers for our ADCH. Before the weekend we needed 8 legs, now we need only 5! We CAN do it!!
We were so close to a GP Q. We were running beautifully, but at the 3rd last obstacle, a tunnel, I sent her in the wrong end. Grrrr. My bad.
Jam ended up getting pretty sick Saturday afternoon/evening. She had diarreha (sp?) and was vomiting. She was one unhappy Toller. She wouldn't even run after her ball...not good. I wasn't sure about Sunday. Sunday morning she woke up much more perky and happy. I didn't run her in Masters Standard (which was the first class), but I did run her in Snooker (in which I sent her over #2, and then she backjumped it), Steeplechase Round 2 (she placed 3rd...won $16!) and Jumpers (Q'd).
All in all, a rather excellent weekend! :)
Wishy and her family were at the show and thanks to them, I believe we have a name for the puppy!!! I called my hubby and he didn't pooh-pooh it right away, so I think it's gonna stick. And now, the name...
Formal name = Lakota's Tequila Sunrise
Call name = Quila (key-la)
Whaddya think??!

Oh! I can hear all the lovey-puppy nicknames already...
KiKi (kee-kee)
The Keekster
Keel Over
Quila Monster
Key West
Key to My Heart
(I hope I haven't ruined the name for you already with my nicknaming habit, but I just GOTTA do it!)
Oh my...I just LOVE Quila Monster!! :)
When I told the girls the name this morning, and how we could say "key-key", the started saying..."key-key tunnel!" and "key-key target"...totally unprompted by me! :) How cool is THAT?!
YAY AGILE KIDS!
Whoa, I'm a little behind on my reading and so this CONGRATULATIONS on a great weekend is a bit late. That's wonderful! I know how much you've been wanting pairs legs.
The name is great--I knew how to say it as soon as I saw it in your more recent post because of the earlier discussions on a theme, but I'm sure you're prepared for the gate steward to call out "KWILL-a" or "Kwy-la"! (I know about some of this with "Tika".)
