Not every resident on The Pony's route has a dog with a taste for Pony flesh. Some of them are downright kind. Like the family who left a little treat for The Pony on Saturday.
Isn't that the cutest thing? The little mail truck. Or LLV, as The Pony would technically label it. The Long Life Vehicle from the 1980s, with no air conditioning, and practically non-existent heat. The Pony now has a Metris, the mini van that replaced the LLV as they broke down beyond repair, even though The Pony's office has about half of them still in service.
Also in the treat bag are some dark chocolate Hershey Kisses, and some Kinder candy. It's the little things that bring a smile, and make that mail carrier feel appreciated.
I love the little truck. You're so right about the little bits of kindness make all the difference. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI know! That truck is so cute, and means something to the mail carrier. Happy New Year to you!
DeleteI am glad Pony did get some appreciation. You'd think that some of the homes where dogs have nipped at him, would leave a little Christmas treat!
ReplyDeleteYes. The Pony has been getting edible treats preceding the holidays. Cookies and candy. The nipper-dog people probably don't feel guilty enough to leave anything for The Pony!
DeleteCute little truck!
ReplyDeleteI wonder where they got it. I haven't seen any, but I'm not shopping around for toys these days.
DeleteThat's a very nice little treat for The Pony. I love the little van.
ReplyDeleteYes. Hick gets mail-related items for The Pony when he sees them at auctions, but it was nice for a customer to give such a vehicle.
DeleteToo Cute
ReplyDeleteThat little vehicle is sweet. It's not like you find the miniature version every day. Although you might see the real thing along the road. Or perhaps sitting at the repair shop. I used to update The Pony on how many I saw on the mechanic's lot when I was in town.
