I’m loving all the pet pictures!  Animal people are awesome!  Here’s one of Baking (pitbull) – he is the kindest dog on earth and his brother Charles (blue heeler).  Bakin had a stroke some years ago and now Charles looks after him.  They are inseparable!

Thanks for sharing everyone!

Hello UAI Members,

I hope all is well! It’s been two weeks since we launched the 2022 UAI Connect Engagement Challenge and wanted to thank all of those that have taken time to get involved. This challenge is designed to help you maximize your experience on UAI Connect and make the most of the various resources that are available to you.

Just a quick reminder on the rules: The UAI Connect Engagement Challenge is open to all current UAI members (both utility and solution provider members) and is designed to help you maximize your engagement throughout UAI Connect. As part of this game, we provide clear direction on how to get more involved and how to make the most of your experience on UAI Connect. By getting more involved within UAI’s communities, discussions forums, and completing your profile on UAI Connect (just to name a few things), you will in turn gain more value from the network on UAI Connect, which includes some of the brightest and smartest minds within utility analytics. For a complete breakdown of how to earn points during this game and the scoring, please refer to our “UAI Connect Engagement Challenge Scoring Sheet” found in the Ask Your Network Library.  

In addition to getting more active on Connect, we will be selecting three winners at the end of December (to be announced Wednesday, January 4, 2022) based off of their scoring. Please note our scoring will only include data between July 20 and December 16, 2022, and previous scores will not be included.

Just in case you’re still not excited, see what great prizes we have picked out for our winners!

• 1^st place – Apple EarPods 
• 2^nd place – Yeti Cooler
• 3^rd place – $25 Amazon gift card

To help you get started with some “easy points” I wanted to start a discussion thread below sharing pictures of our favorite pets! With many of us still working from home, our pets have become some of our best friends during the work day and often times make appearances on our various calls. Unfortunately, as many of you know, I can’t have pets in my current house but I’m happy to share a picture of my parent’s dog “Turbo” (who’s really my dog anyway).

Have a favorite pet picture? Share below!

Thanks again and best of luck in the 2022 UAI Connect Engagement Challenge!

I love seeing the pictures of all of your pets!  Meet Belle,  a three year old Chocolate Lab – she loves spending time on her boat. Her hobbies are sleeping, swimming, chasing any toy we throw for her, and being my co-worker (but her productivity is pretty low). Despite that, she is the best dog we have ever had and our whole family is absolutely in love with her!

Here are my two wonderful Labradors… Aggie (Chocolate/Silver, and a nice, sturdy, 95’ish pounds) and Blanca (Yellow, and my small 55’ish pound baby (Yes, I refer to a 55 pound dog as small)). They both love their Dad and want to be attached to me like velcro (some days it’s annoying). Clearly, they were waiting for their treat (in my kitchen, where they aren’t supposed to be… We don’t enforce that rule; or many others!)

This is a great way to kick off this engagement challenge, Kevin.  Like you, my wife and I do not have a pet of our own.  But we have several “grand-pets” (pets of our kids).  This is one of my favorites of my daughter’s dog, Linley.  Linley is a Westiepoo (West Highland Terrier/Poodle mix).  She rescued him several years ago.  He’s a good dog and has a mischievous side.  I’ll caption this one, “Who me??”.

[Kaylaa Blackwell]

I love seeing my dog and cat friends in the community…this is a cool idea…thanks for sharing them with us!

 

Happy Thursday from Cinnamon & Tux ������. When they are not engaging in pro wrestling, Cinnamon thinks my work computer is hers, believes she is a race car +  bobsled olympian [running, skating and diving at high speeds on any surface, at any moment…she is hilariously scary]

While Tux thinks he is a daredevil and a horse [climbing and jumping real high and at too far distances it makes your human heart skip��, yet he always seem to make it to the other side without missing].

 

Both are a year and some months old. I adopted them from the same agency, when my previous cat Silk of over 10 years passed away, which is still the top favorite, but these two are a close second.

 

Cinnamon, that’s a cross between a cat and squirrel is more hype and a conversation starter, while Tux that’s a cross between a human and a rabbit, is on the easy going side and usually only say choice words.

However, when it’s time to remind me that they are ready for their scheduled meals, they both can get real loud, especially if I am in a work meeting:

Cinnamon kind of chirps, waits, then chirps again…like she is talking to you and giving you time to respond.

While Tux kind of sings and sharpens his nails, to get himself ready to eat…whether you are ready or not.

 

If they are not following me around/trying to help me with my work or practice for the Olympics; you can find Tux sunning himself anywhere that gives him the opportunity, with Cinnamon sleeping nearby with one eye open.

Both speak English as a first language, so I am very careful what I say around these kiddos…LOL. Cheers!

By getting more involved within UAI’s communities, discussions forums, and completing your profile on UAI Connect (just to name a few things), you will in turn gain more value from the network on UAI Connect, which includes some of the brightest and smartest minds within utility analytics. For a complete breakdown of how to earn points during this game and the scoring, please refer to our “UAI Connect Engagement Challenge Scoring Sheet” found in the Ask Your Network Library.  

In addition to getting more active on Connect, we will be selecting three winners at the end of December (to be announced Wednesday, January 4, 2022) based off of their scoring. Please note our scoring will only include data between July 20 and December 16, 2022, and previous scores will not be included.

Just in case you’re still not excited, see what great prizes we have picked out for our winners!

• 1^st place – Apple EarPods 
• 2^nd place – Yeti Cooler
• 3^rd place – $25 Amazon gift card

To help you get started with some “easy points” I wanted to start a discussion thread below sharing pictures of our favorite pets! With many of us still working from home, our pets have become some of our best friends during the work day and often times make appearances on our various calls. Unfortunately, as many of you know, I can’t have pets in my current house but I’m happy to share a picture of my parent’s dog “Turbo” (who’s really my dog anyway).

Have a favorite pet picture? Share below!

Thanks again and best of luck in the 2022 UAI Connect Engagement Challenge!

I have to show my Charo (yes, for the old ones in the group, like in the Love Boat). She was found in a parking lot of a school where my friend is a teacher. She has 2 fur siblings, Lolita and Benito J

 

She is also trying to become a TikTok super star. Look her up “Charo Cuchi”  on TikTok

Ok – I have to admit I’m torn about all of the extra emails but can’t resist looking at pet phots and sharing at least one of my own.

 

We lost my beloved pogo (Pit x Dogo Argentino), Captain Morgan, in Dec of 2020.  There is no replacing Cap but we did end up adopting a new pogo puppy who we named after Andre the Giant’s role in The Princess Bride – Fezzik.  My husband also adopted a rescue from Mexico, Yukon Cornelius.  This was Yukon’s reaction to his new puppy companion:
