Ive enjoyed my AG Rebecca for sometime now.Last night, I finally sent her along her way with a new family.They came all the way from Leander to get her. As hard as it is to let go of some of my beauties, it is a wonderful feeling knowing your bringing happiness to  others.Shortly after, I recieved a pic of Rebecca's new mom, a 5 year old with the biggest smile on her face.
