I've kept from throwing in my opinion, mostly because of my own situation. I also think that shipping Annie to the UK may not be the best thing for her... but seeing as I will probably be subjecting Boomer to an even longer flight when I leave Japan to go back stateside, I'm not really in a position to talk. Nevertheless, if you two have definately decided that you are going to get Annie shipped over than congratulations. I hope Annie makes a wonderful addition to your home and eventually comes out of her shell
