IN SPECIAL MEMORY
Pets have been a big part of my life for ALL of my life.
Over the years, a few simply became missing,
others died from accidents or illnesses.
I still remember them all and I still miss them all very much.
This is a tribute to them for all of the happiness they brought to me,
and for all of the wonderful memories they left with me.

Over the years, there has been a succession of
peppy-n-prolific guppy, posh-n-pretty goldfish, patient-n-pernickety snails,
all of which were of great pleasure for me to have observed.
