July 2024Frontier’s Poni Express "Poni"

April 16, 2010 – November 16, 2023
Owned and loved by: Lena Lingemann and Allan Haigh

Poni had a long and happy life. Four days before she died, she was playing keep-away with me, shaking her stuffed duck, prancing about and doing awkward play bows (I reciprocated, and mine were equally awkward). At her age, this play lasted only a few minutes, but it filled us both with joy. Just the week before, Poni and her Bouvier brother spent four days at the Oregon coast, the last of many trips for Poni. She mostly relaxed on the beach house deck and waited for her share of the fish & chips. Food was always a big deal. An hour or so in advance, Poni would begin reminding me about dinner, even stomping her front feet to get my attention, and if that wasn’t enough, adding a high-pitched bark. Personality Plus. Poni was loving and affectionate to the very end and we cherished every moment with her. We still see her everywhere.
