Dancing in a Belgium train station
Posted: April 23, 2009 Filed under: Apso Aficionados 3 CommentsI overslept. I want to respond about Ponya. I tried to put this video right in this blog entry. Can’t figure that out, so please take my word for it. Give yourself a treat and watch it.

Susan on…She’s HERE !!!!
Posted: April 22, 2009 Filed under: Apso Aficionados 26 CommentsWhew…..It is too hot even for us who live here….
Poor Ponya came with her winter coat on.
Oh well, that’s what scissors are for, right?
So…we’ll just take it off her….
Susan
Later that evening…
She’s glued herself to me.
Still panting, but she sounds more like a choo choo now than a freight
train…
Note from Debby…
Yesterday was difficult for me, much more difficult than I could have imagined. At the airport I had to dig down deep, remind myself to ‘be there’ for Ponya. My own emotions could be released later. I wanted to grab her out of the crate, give her a big farewell, hugging her, telling her how much I loved her. And to trust me, I was doing this for her. That farewell would have created unnecessary anxiety for Ponya. So, as I coach my clients prone to dramatic good-byes at my grooming shop, I acted as if. As If this were the same as leaving her for the day at the vet clinic. No drama. No good-bye.
I am relieved she arrived safe and sound and has already latched on to Susan!
A Thank You

Ponya goes…today
Posted: April 21, 2009 Filed under: DRambles on Black Mountain 3 CommentsToday Ponya gets lucky. It was to have been last Friday, but the spring snow storm determined otherwise. It is without reservation I send her, grateful Susan has agreed to let Ponya spend her later years with her Gompa relatives in sunny, beautiful California. It is what I wanted for this dear little dog.
Sammy is eagerly awaiting…
Rinchen, perhaps not so…
Her aunt Raji, depicted in this beautiful painting by Katy, is also waiting…
Gone, but lingering in the garden, Champ…
Ponya arrived at my house at the tender age of 4 months, along with her dam Irdhi, in the original group of Gompa dogs delivered at my doorstep. Irdhi and Raji are littersisters. She was jet black, a round roly poly little thing. Her daughter Margo looks so much like her! There is so much I’d like to say about Ponya, but she – even more than me – has a time schedule today. Just like Champ (well, not just like! This will be a different story!), we’ll get to follow her integration into her new pack. I can’t wait to see photos of her sunbathing in Susan’s Gardens.
As time goes, I will update her page. I have beautiful photos of Ponya. One of my favorites is Julie, in elaborate Tibetan clothing, holding her during the 2004 presentation in St. Louis. Kathy shared the Hopi meaning of Ponya earlier, did a bit of on-line research regarding the Tibet/Hopi connection and shared this segment from the Hopi creation story:
