This is so cute! I love the poem! I lost my 2 yr old dachshund in August to a disease and when I get my scraproom done, I want to make a LO about her. I hope you don't mind if I lift this, poem and all.
I enjoyed reading your description. What a wonderful poem. Poor little Skippy; you are such t a wonderful friend, Emily!!! You can see how much it mean to your friends. Beautiful LO!
A girl I work with lost her 2yr old Skippy when he was hit by a car. She asked me to please do a 8x10 layout of him - not real sad - with a nice poem. It was to be given to her daughter since she is going away to college next month. She said "you think of something and I'll pick out a frame". So I thought of something (Skippy loved flowers and buttercups she told me) and she bought a nice 8x10 silver shadowbox frame. It was great because I used silver/pewter embellies...and was able to us pop-dots behind some photos and the metal tags with his "special names" they called him. I used one of my favorite dog poems:
Dog
When God made the earth and sky, The flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals And all the birds and bees, And when his work was finished Not one was quite the same. He said, “I’ll walk this earth of mine And give each a name.” And so he traveled land and sea And everywhere he went A little creature followed Him Until its strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth And in the sky and sea, The little creature said, “Dear Lord, there is not one left for me.” The Father smiled and softly said “I’ve left you to the end. I’ve turned my own name back to front And call you Dog, my friend.”

So..a week later she said "Could you please do me a huge favor? Can you please make one identical to the one you just made - I want it for myself". Soooo back to the craft room I go! AND I'm smiling all the way. It gives me such pleasure to do this for others. Of course - anything "dog" is right up my alley!
