Are you sure it is ok, Teri? Did you get my PM this morning with the link? Also did you get the part about why I added that last stanza for you that led to the song? I want to make sure that the last line was obvious that went with the Elvis song. And was that ok, or would you like me to take the Elvis stanza out?

no that was great my friend. When he gets up I will share it with him and Gus! lol Gus is a very funny dog sometimes. If you start singing ole McDonald has a farm he starts his doggie singing with us! lol I think you did a great job my friend! This will be special to him too! May God bless you for making so many happy! I love you, but Jesus loves you so much more!!!

Debi, It was perfect!!! I thank you and appreciate you so much for doing that. When I see Jonathon on Monday I will open up his computer and let him see how beautiful it is and the wonderful songs you put on there. You are a true blessing my friend. You make this mom very happy today! Someday I will think of something nice to do for you and make you smile too! love and blessings, Teri

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jonathan AND Gus!

Wouldn't be right to have a tribute and not celebrate the pup too. After all, he is family! Beautifully done, Debi, and I am sure everyone will be smiles and joy as they read and reread your tribute to them. Awesome!

I hope their day is extra special and yours too!
smiles and hugs, Carol

What a sweet poem written as a tribute to Teri's son and Grandpuppy. The poem is well written and fun. I, personally, like near rhymes and often use them for the challenge. I felt they worked well in your poem.

Happy birthday, Jonathan and Gus!

Love and hugs,
Rhonda

A family birthday tribute poem for Teri and Tom's son, Jonathan. I enlarged the art and recognized Greyson. He hasn't changed much and still an adorable boy. Yes, he's a mini version of his father.

Debi, you did a splendid job with this personalized birthday poem, Gus included. How thoughtful and clever. In dog years I would 483! That makes me feel a little better!

Happy Birthday, Jonathan and Happy Birthday, Gus!! hope you both have a grand day with family & friends.

Love and Blessings across the miles,
Sal XOs
