The touch of her hair is softer
Than my fingers in warm butter
Her tiny black eyes send more
Grip than a pipe wrench

Hi Vance, she is so so cute, and I am so happy to have read her story before going to bed. I really loved her, seeing her in between your hands, she is adorable, take could care of her. Much love Terry xoxo

She is gorgeous. And she certainly looks like a prized possession.
I enjoyed reading about how much joy she brings to your lives.
I have a dog and understand how she makes you feel.
Well written.

Hi, Your Grayness,
"My Most Prized Possession" is a beautiful tribute to a most remarkable sentient being who happens to be a pet in this life. She performs her duties of loving and comforting you with grace and dignity. And indeed is worthy of the praise you heap upon her. Good luck in the contest.
Your friend and colleague,
Preston

I thoroughly enjoyed you colorful depiction of a life with a Teacup Yorkie. In fact after smiling, my wife queried me. "What," see asked, as I must have sighed or something. So I read it to her. We both enjoyed your tale.

Hi Vance. I LOVE animals of all kinds, especially my rescued dogs and kitty. They offer us so much. We're lucky to have them. Marilyn

You obviously love your companion and your companion, said Teacup Yorkie, loveth you back--or perhaps first and you begrudgingly came around!? Hah. Nah. You love the dog that much I know. Well done.

Thank you so much Michael and somehow, your review was posted (and answered by me) twice....but hey! IT'S ALL GOOD!

This poem emits a warmth and sense of satisfaction. Your writing is very creative and your analogies are truly original and memorable, including "my fingers in warm butter" giving a soft sensation, immediately followed by "more grip than a pipe wrench" (ouch). Very original poem and the sense of adoration is evident.

What a beautiful little dog. I have a mixed breed Yorkie and the characteristics you describe regarding Bitsy is the same with Gus. He talks with his eyes and spins circles whenever he's excited. They are amazing companions.

Thank you seaglass for your kind message and review...and stars! I love this precious little (Guardian Angel in disguise) more than my words can ever express. GRATITUDE emits constantly and it is simply wonderful! Blessings: HIS GRAYNESS: Vance

Comment from Ronni

Excellent

This is a most precious story about your ever devoted and loving pet, Bitsy;
and you likewise the ever proud, happy, devoted and loving owner and
human companion. Conveyed in your most warm and gracious style,
affection, introspection and enumerated delights and attending events.
As anyone knows, and can easily relate to, who has had, or has a loving
pet they interact with daily, in unequivocal love and abiding affections.
some human relationships, sadly, lack or are incapable of such undaunted
loyalty and unequivocal love. Yet our beloved pets, seem to come by it
naturally, and so eagerly share it and spoil us with their adorable traits
and blessings of consolation and reassurance they are in our lives.
So wonderful you have your 'angel' Bitsy, and so happy for you.
Thanks for sharing...best wishes always, Ronni

Dear Ronni, I knew that if anyone out there would understand the power of LOVE and GRATITUDE that I hoped to express in this work, it would INDEED BE YOU! Your works evoke the strongest and warmest feelings of love and gratitude and I'm deeply grateful for your wonderful and encouraging review! LOVE right back to you! Vance

Bitsy seems to be a precious soul, who in defiance of her diminutive size, delivers a powerful punch to your heart. You two make a wonderful team.

Your story is well written and quite interesting for all of us who don't know her. Thanks for sharing,
Rhonda
