BESS my portrait-tribute

A pet no one would ever trade Such loyalty of the lasting,loving kind Her memory now in cross-stitch made No replacement,were we to ever find Still,now in our memory-bank entwined.

Congratulations on POTW. Your poem tells of a sweet memory. Getting another dog will give another dog a chance. I know. I am without a dog after many years.

They become more than just pets Brian, they become part of the family and leave a large void in your lives when they pass away. Congratulations to you on this week's POTW honour, happy new year. Tom
