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. The plate is made of aluminum. These would make a beautiful and heartfelt gift for someone you know that is grieving. The poem can be done in singular or plural version, replacing the words "we" with the word "I" and vice versa. Please include this in your engraving information if you need this done. If your pet was a non-paw print pet, or if you want to use the plate for a human, we can substitute the paw print border with a border made of hearts. If the plate is being done for a human, please let us know this so we can change any text to be appropriate for a human. Your pet's name and date of death will be engraved on the plate in the lower right corner of the plate on the 8x10 and 5x7. It will be engraved below the heart shape for the 4x6 and the 3x5.
