Nice day! Highlight being Serious Decision reaching GCh. title! She’s been given too many points, but if my math is correct the title still stands when that would be corrected. Which means it’s a big milestone for Gotapa as she’s the first Grand Champion I’ve raced from zero to GCh. title. Took quite some years to get there, lol.
