The Daily Q: NEWS

It went like this...

I had all manner of plans for Spring and Summer — of course I did!

The plans included showing Daisy, who is all set to start accumulating titles in the manner of a Kaibab Girl.

And then a Pandemic arrived and suggested a bit of a detour.

And so Daisy is starting with Motherhood and then will accumulate her titles.

What can I say about that??! It is, after all, how I did things — kids first and then all those titles/degrees. The Easy Way is overrated.

Daisy was bred to GCH Pinnacle’s Josey Wales AXP OJP DD SCN TKN FDC CGC (“Major”); their puppies are due on/about May 24.

Can you just guess how thrilled and excited I am?!

The Daily Q: Virtual Specialty & Another Wonderful Update

If you are on Facebook, make sure to follow the Virtual Specialty — you can find it by searching for the 2020 BMDCA National Specialty Paddock.

We have another community update — today from Miss Jordan from the Sparklers:

“Jordan here reporting in from isolation in rural Metchosin.   What I miss the most is getting out on the road but life is still pretty darn good.  Trips have been reduced to the farm market, the grocery store and for some in the house, trips to the vet.  Jumar is sporting a pandemic haircut and let me tell you it is a doozy.  

We all gather around at 3:00 pm daily to listen to Dr. Bonnie Henry’s COVID-19 briefing who apparently has some very cool shoes!  Me, I am so looking forward to getting back to my competition schedule as a girl can only chillax so long.”

Thank you so much to Dianne for helping Jordan with her update — and we send community condolences to their family on the recent loss of their special girl, Sunny. No lifetime is long enough for those we love so deeply.

The Daily Q: The Strangest Things Make Us Happy

Dear Husband gave me the BEST anniversary presents!!!!

Pandemics certainly do shift our perspective.

And speaking of shifting perspectives, Alison shared something that helps her with all this pandemic stuff is remembering she is in charge of her own happiness.

This is an excellent reminder — unless the tin foil hat works for you, what happens in our mind is under our control.

Sometimes it takes repeated mental channel changing — and maybe some fresh new batteries in the remote control…

…but switching to the Happy Channel is something we can do, even if only to watch the commercials of what is to come.

Like getting back to things we love…

GCH PACH Tristan — one of the iPups. Dual Champion — I am still giddy over that amazing accomplishment.

Thanks to Alison for the update, the reminder, and the photos — always so appreciated.

Meanwhile in Montana…

…the elk are wondering when the Big and Official Announcement is happening.

Soon, Dear Friends — very soon.

Have a HAPPY Weekend — because you can.
