We had noticed that Elkey the pony just wasn't looking herself lately. Two days later are gut feeling was right. She had passed on. Most everyone living on this side of Swett's Pond is very familiar with this pony. Some of the neighbors would stop into her yard and give her a special treat. One day I actually saw Elkey standing with two baby fawn. That was the day I wished I had my camera with me. It was always nice to be able to look over while driving by and think "there's Elkey". It leaves an empty feeling of driving by and not seeing her either napping in the sun or grazing on the green grass or just taking an afternoon stroll to wherever she pleases. In 2007 - Elkey's owner told us she was 37 years old. She will truly be missed by many people.
