What Should I Do?

Yay! I hope you will be getting them back then,however I wouldn't necessarily tell them that they are no longer made in case they want to keep them to try and sell them It's unlikely but you never know

Yeah that's true.  I would have waited until I got them in my hand before I say that if I decide to.  Sadly I'm still waiting.  I told them around Noon or so so it's been about five hours so far.  The girl and her Mom usually walk their Pomeranian by our house later in the evening so maybe they are waiting until then to bring them, if they do.  I am just impatient I guess.  I'm hopeful but at the same time I'm trying to set myself up for disappointment in case for some reason they are keeping the ponies, or don't have them anymore.

Yay! Well done you for just going for it! I really hope they come through.

I'm really amazed by how you had the courage to ask! Congrats I hope that the ponies will be home soon

You might have to start up the conversation if you don't hear back.  Sometimes others forget or don't realize something is important.  So it is possible the neighbor forgot to ask about the ponies.

Yes, you could be right.  That would be something I'll ask in passing or if I see them outside.  I don't want to knock at their door again, because I don't want to seem insistent even though I am.

Right!

So glad you got-up the courage to ask! Crossing my fingers for you that they are still there and they give them back to you!

Thanks for the support everyone.    It means a lot.  I'm not going to hear from them today I guess.  They may be the sort of people who don't do things right away.  I just think it would have been nice for them to stop by and tell me either way and to say if they have them they'll get the ponies to me when they have the chance or something like that.  I would offer to pick them up myself if they didn't mind.

I just need to be patient.

I read through all these posts with interest!  I think you handled things perfectly, and I think you're right to just hold tight for a while to see if they come through.  Remember they have no idea you have been anxious about this, so there's no sense of urgency on their part.  In the meantime keep your eye peeled for the mom when you're outside b/c if you just casually see her (if you've waited a few days with no luck), it would be fine to just mention it.

I, too, gave away my childhood ponies (except for one)--they all went to the Salvation Army way back in 1994.  Almost twenty years later, I'm still a bit sad to think about it.  But I've now assembled a collection (a small one) that I would have *loved* to have had as a child, so that's my consolation

ASK!  The worst they can say is no or that they don't have them anymore!!!  Ask ask ask!!!
 To clarify, I fretted about asking the lady that babysat my sister and I for a LONG time.  When I finally got around to asking she had a few G1s she had left bundled up waiting for me!  I hope you have a happy ending in all this and I hope you get some of your 'girls' returned to you!!!

Great job getting up the courage to go over there! I just hope the boy didn't forget to ask his mom about it, that does happen. Especially when it's not something that person thinks is important. Some people just don't understand ponies like we do!

Anyway, I think you did the right thing in all aspects here and I hope they get back to you soon!
