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, so you just peel and stick, if needed. 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. If your pet was a non-paw print type pet, or if you want to use this plate for a human, we can do the border in hearts instead of paw prints. If you need the singular/plural version or if you want a border done in hearts, please add this to your engraving information. 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. For pet's with names that had six or more letters, the name and date will be engraved in the lower right corner on the 8x10 and 5x7. It will be engraved beneath the heart shape on the 3x5 and 4x6.
