Much is made of the sparse efficiency of the Gettysburg Address.  Memory fails me and I'm too lazy to look it up, but word counters have marveled at the ability to say so much in so few words.

I came across this tombstone for a cat in one of my daily blogs.  It rivals the Lincoln speech for its ability to encapsulate the relationship we humans have with our pets.  This stone and its words could easily serve both cats and dogs of both genders and, what the Hell, lets include fish, turtles horses, birds and maybe even our childhood teddy bears.  

I've buried two dogs and am presently three feet away from my third.  If I had anything to add to the above inscription it would be to add, "..and a great joy in my times of happiness."
