Apart from being abducted from their home land, I think it must have been such a shock to end up in a cold area like Nova Scotia. <br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231145798830497854.post-81177322523373839682012-01-19T20:34:07.526-05:002012-01-19T20:34:07.526-05:00Mine arrived!
