Mother of 8 high on drugs! & the kids need "Q" names

[KurtNYC]

Okay well the drugs are just endorphins and oxytocin...

One highlight of my recent California trip was a visit to Assistance Dog Institute in Santa Rosa, California were a friend works. They breed and train assistance dogs. Right before I arrived on Tuesday evening, Hynek (see below) went into labor. She had delivered 3 before we got there and delivered another pup every 20 minutes or so. 8 in all were born, all healthy and doing well.

They will all be given names beginning with "Q" (this helps keep track of this litter as they go through their careers). ADI names their litters in sequence and this is the second "Q" litter so if you have any suggestions for "Q" names let me know. (As you can see the second round of "H" names were so tough that mom ended up with "Hynek"). We need 5 male and 3 female names. "Queenie" and "Quest" are taken ("Quest" is the name of ADI's newsletter). Suggested so far are Quesadilla and Que Sera.
