Ha! Once infected with the Pony Virus there may be remission, but never a recovery! Thankfully!
My mom loved ponies too. Even when she was on hospice and had to go into a full time nursing centre for the last months, she took ponies with her that I decorated her room with. All the nurses loved how happy and cheerful they made her room. Ponies make bad situations somehow bearable.
@evilbunnyfoofoo - That’s very true. It’s one of the many reasons that I collect them. Aside from the tranquility I feel as I fix them is and brush them out. Then you get to admire them all over again.
