The Home Coming Part II: A Happy Ending

by Geneviève Montcombroux

Apijuq, who was returned to Toadhall in such terrible condition that she almost died (see Fan Hitch V2, N4 August, 2000) is making an excellent recovery. She has not yet reached her normal weight but is well on her way. Apijuq has joined Barry Salovaara's team, staying at Toadhall for a little while. She is highly spirited and believes in working hard. Fast and light, she was on the camera in a wink, her team mates trying to catch up, as you can see from the less than clear picture.
