A huge thank you to Kevin Reynolds for honoring our beautiful black bitch Fircrest EZ Duz It Of Echowind (AOE 2x Sel Exc & Cdn Sel Ch. Lenlor's Maximus, ROM, CD, TC x Fircrest My Jewel U Sunrise) with her first Major and for his wonderful words about her at the GSDCPNW AM Show on Saturday. Thank you also to Lorry Bellah for handling her to WB for the major, Bill Basu for taking her back in and handling her to BOW, Julie Hamasaki for grooming her to perfection, James Hamasaki for his advice and encouragement helping us to get her to this point, her wonderful fans who cheered loudly and endlessly for EZ (I'd love to list them all but I'd have to write a short novel) from outside the ring and Sharon Avery for the perfect photo. Talk about a village!! They are the most wonderful, generous and fun group I've ever had the pleasure to be around - everyone should be so lucky. Thank you also to Vicki Roye for giving EZ the nod for a Major Reserve on Sunday after awarding a lovely sable WB. A 3 point major will finish our EZ and then we're off to play with the sheep. Thanks for letting me share the joy. It was a wonderful weekend here in Washington State. Gail Gail J.
