Wow, we couldn't have asked for a better, more special weekend....

We were told that there were majors being built at the West Central Oklahoma KC 
in Elk City, OK, and could we help with entries?  So, we entered 3 bitches and 
a Special, and drove the 6 hours to the show.  We weren't expecting much, 
especially after we saw the count (20 bitches and 4 Specials!), so we just went 
to have a good time.  Well, we were shocked when our Lily (CH Windmill's Sweet 
Child O Mine) was awarded Best of Breed on Saturday under Mrs. Jacqueline 
Stacy, for a 5 point major towards her Grand Championship!  Then, Lily topped 
off the day with a Herding Group III, also under Mrs. Stacy!  Lily is by CH 
Kenlyn's Coach HiCliff Kaleef and is out of Windmill's Every Breath You Take 
(thank you Sergio Espejo for your hard work to get this breeding done!!).

Just when we thought it couldn't be better, on Sunday, our girl Maia went WB 
for a 3 point major and completed her Championship!  While this may seem an 
ordinary feat, to us, it is EXTRA special, as Maia is 7 1/2 years old!  Maia 
received her first 12 points rather quickly.....but when it came time to get 
that last major, all of her luck ran out.  Every time a good judge would come 
up for her, something would happen--she would be out of coat, or there wouldn't 
be a major, or the major would break so she couldn't show.  One time, when 
there was an especially good judge for her, the judge broke her ankle the day 
before so we had a substitute judge!  We had just about given up hope but 
decided to enter her to help with the numbers at this show....plus, Mrs. Stacy 
had put her up in the past.  Well, Mrs. Stacy did like her still, but it wasn't 
her day.  We didn't even think she had a chance on Sunday, but Ms. Beverly 
Capstick gave her the nod, fulfilling our dream!  Maia is now CH Wndmlls Every 
Rose Has Its Thorn, by CH Windmill's Synchronicity and out of Windmill's Wild 
Firecracker.  Maia is now retired from the ring, except to continue as Logan's 
Juniors dog (and Logan is currently the number 1 GSD Junior and the number 10 
Herding Junior!)...

Lily went Select on Sunday under Ms. Capstick for a 3 point Grand Championship 
major...she now has 19 points towards her GC, with limited showing since she 
has only just now grown her coat back!

Both girls (who are cousins) were expertly handled by Ashley, of course!!  
Thank you to all of our friends in Oklahoma for the wonderful welcome, 
friendship and support you gave us!
