Fitting epitaph

Here is Lord Byron's epitaph to his dog "Boatswain".

Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains of one who possessed Beauty without vanity
Strength without insolence
Courage without ferocity , and all the vitues of man without his vices.

This was written about his dog who was a Newfoundland.
Equally true of Goldens.

Pat , Syd , Jazz & Candy

Very true, it's a pity mankind can't learn from it.

Yep, It's called "Willows tummy alarm clock". :2090: Don't know if it's wide eyed and legless, or bog eyed. :2029:


Mind, even the cat at this house let's you know it's getting up time.
