Q at birth
Q at 7 weeks
Q at 5 months
Q was supposed to have a new name when he went to live with
Sheri Mullen, but since "Q" is what you call a qualifying score in
agility, she decided to keep the name in hopes that it would
become a self-fulling prophesy.   He had an unfortunate fall from
a piece of equipment and it tarnished his confidence and he was
never able to overcome it.

Q has always been very photogenic and his puppy pictures have
been popular with the publishers of  Whippet Calendars.   2011
is no exception - Pet Prints used one of his puppy pictures again.
Where have the years gone?  It seems like just yesterday that
Sherri put Q in her van and drove away from my house and I
choked back the tears at his leaving.  Now he's a stately elder
gentleman at 11-1/2 years old.  Doesn't seem possible.
