A PERSONALIZED PET PORTRAIT IN CLAY SCULPTURE TO REMEMBER YOU VERY SPECIAL BEST FRIEND

Your time with us, however brief, was worth a hundred years of happiness.  We loved you for your playful spirit...the perfect pet... You made us laugh out loud and from the bottoms of our hearts.

Your tail reminded us always of you undivided loyalty and sense of family.  You little kisses showed patience and forgiveness when we ignored you...You saw us for what's inside, and we're happy that you trained us that way....not the other way around.  We love the thought of you now and each and every time we are reminded of your undying spirit.

So, this little work of art, to remind us that you're still here, will be our "tail that wags the dog"...it will lift the human spirit that you had so much a part of we will smile when we think of you...always.

"Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength  without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of Man, without his vices.  This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Boatswain, a dog.
