The poem is laser engraved and can be done with gold or silver text. It is ideal for framing, where you can place the poem on one side, and your pet?s picture on the other. The plate has pressure sensitive adhesive on the back, if needed, so you just peel and stick. These would make a beautiful and heartfelt gift for someone you know that is grieving. The poems can be done in singular or plural versions, replacing the words "we" with the word "I" and vice versa. Email me if you want this change to be done. Your pet's name and date of death will be engraved on the plate. If your pet's name was five letters or less, we can put it inside the heart shape, if desired, on selected plates where indicated. For pet's with names that had six or more letters, the name and date will be engraved in the lower right corner. With the smaller plates, the name and dates will be engraved below the heart shape. For any names that are outside of the heart, we can add the date of birth if you want.
