Can I just let out a big sigh and say "FREAKIN' FINALLY!"

So for the last week or so, I almost kind of gave up on this search. I felt like I was looking for dust in the wind! Then early in the afternoon on Thursday my efforts finally paid off!

In the beginning of the week, I started feeling real tired in the morning so I've been taking morning naps rather than logging in all three computers.

I had woken up from my nap and started going about my day. I logged onto WoW, started doing my dailies (cooking and fishing) since I logged out in Dalaran. I then started making my way to Sholazar Basin and as I was on the flight path over there, I started preparing my lunch. I also put baby E to sleep.

With lunch by my side (barbeque spare ribs w/ fried rice from the Thai restaurant near my house), I made my rounds... before I flew off, I had to do a little gankin' (LOL), but couldn't find any horde to victimize.

At about 1:28PM (4:28PM server time), as I was flying into one of the spots, I see this see through animal on the ground in the middle of the gorillas I have been watching day after day, week after week. I thought to myself, "Are my eyes deceiving me?" "Is that Loque??" "It can't BE!!!"

So I flew in a little closer, his nameplate came up and it said "Loque'Nahak" and at the same moment, SilverDragon pops up and tells me a rare spawn has been detected "Loque'Nahak"!

I almost didn't know what to do! I was actually logged on my warlock and I haven't logged onto Mr. Man's hunter yet. But before I could log on to his hunter, there was a horde right there next to Loque. I target him to see his health and saw that he was targetting the gorillas. I waited for a few seconds to see if he was going to try and kill Loque, but he didn't so I hopped quickly onto Mr. Man's comp to log him in all the while checking my computer screen to see if the horde was planning on doing something.

When I logged onto his hunter, he was camped around the corner so I immediately flew his hunter to Loque's spot. As I was flying in, I noticed an alliance (Paladin) there and I put in /say "Can you watch my back? I will pay you. I want to tame that pet."

I then proceed to try and tame Loque.... my heart is beating a mile a minute... I was sooo nervous!

ATTEMPT#1: I put the freezing trap down and I shoot Loque with an arrow and she's in an ice block. I start to tame, but I get an error "You have too many pets" NOOOOO! So I call out his current pet which is the core hound and I try to open his stable, but I can't because I'm in combat. Feign death, but Loque is attacking the core hound. Dismiss the core hound. Loque resets to her original spot.

ATTEMPT#2: I put the freezing trap down and shoot Loque with an arrow, but I was too close to the other gorillas and a gorilla gets in the freezing trap. Loque comes after me!!! I run around for a little bit and then Feign death.

I bet this Paladin is watching me like "Does this hunter even know what he's doing?!?!"

ATTEMPT#3: Ok, after the other failed attempts, I calmed down just a little bit and put the freezing trap down away from the gorillas. I shoot Loque, untarget her (to prevent auto-shot from breaking her from the freezing trap), then target her again and hit tame. 20 seconds later, Loque'Nahak is tamed!!!!!!! I ran to the Paladin that was "watching" my back and paid him 100 gold. He congratulated me and was off on his merry way.

I literally jumped up and down and kept saying "HELLLL YEAH!" haha and I had no one to tell it to since I was home alone and the baby was sleeping.

The boys walked in the door after coming home from school and I ran to tell them about the good news and we all cheered. They knew how long mommy and daddy have been trying to get this pet.

I had my oldest son put Loque in the stable so that way the pet does not show on the character screen.

I decided not to call Mr. Man and tell him the good news. We made a plan to distract him for awhile when he came home from work. I sent him in game mail. I actually named his pet and as it turns out you need to buy a glyph to rename the pet. So I bought the glyph and sent it to his hunter. But in game mail takes about an hour to get to the person.

I sent the mail at 1:51PM and he got home at 2:30PM so we had to distract him for about 20 minutes or so. The boys tried their best to distract but it wasn't good enough and Mr. Man wanted to log onto his account and it was only 2:40PM. Luckily, he wanted to hop into the random dungeon finder with his druid so that actually was perfect!

Then 2:51PM came around and I told him to log onto his hunter, he might have some mail.

He logs onto the hunter, reads the mail I sent him and opens his stable and he looked at me then looked at his screen to make sure and was soooo happy! Mission complete!

We take Loque out for a test drive to see her abilities. Makes me want to level my hunter to tame a Loque myself. LOL.

Look at that moonfire!

So where are the screenshots of the hunter taming Loque? Where's the video footage? I was so nervous I didn't think to Fraps it or even take any screenshots. I know, huh? I'm such a noob. I don't care, I helped tame Loque! HAHA!

My warlock checking out what she helped locate!

And that there folks is my story on taming Loque'Nahak.
