Well I finally did it!!! I brought my dad to tears, but they were apparently tears of a good nature. Last night he went to his Golden Club's annual awards dinner. It seems I won a trophy that he had donated a couple of years ago in memory of his dog Keeper. He even built and made this trophy by getting all the components and then assembling it. He expected another dog to win it this year (by 1 point more than us) but they applied after the deadline. So it will be proudly displayed for the next year in our home for all to see.
I had dad attach a photo of the trophy for you all to see.

That is something else. A trophy you made and donated in memory of Keeper to come back to you and grace your house for a year. Very touching indeed.
