Cedar: a heart warming picture and message. Yes, indeed, dogs are a girl's best friend. I have one at my feet as I write this, patiently (sort of) waiting for me to take him for his afternoon walk. Good write and congratulations on your contest win. livelylinda

What an absolute cutie 5-7-5 and absolutely cutie pic. I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments - canine love far outweighs diamonds LOL

The art work is superb and the words written.

Dogs would always take over diamonds for me

They are living animals as diamonds lay stagnant.

A lovely 5/7/5 - perfect syllable count and I can see why you won the contest. Such a sweet message. Very noble to prefer a dog to diamonds as a best friend. I wonder if Marilyn Monroe would have agreed with you. LOL. Congratulations - Regards Dorothy

Thanks Dorothy for your excellent review, I appreciate it. No, I don't believe Marilyn would have agreed with me, but I do believe she did have a small poodle. Thanks and have a great weekend. Bill

Yes - no reason why we can't have both - be greedy - LOL Dorothy

Congratulations on your excellent win, Bill.

Very clever and fun write.

Hey, I've seen some dopey lady stars who have a dog 'accessory' and put a diamond necklace on it for the best of both worlds. :-)

Cheers, Ted

Thanks Ted and you're right about the rich and famous sporting around their poodles loaded down with diamonds. Hell, the dogs probably have their own security guard. Cheers, Bill

Well done for the 5-7-5 contest! This piece is near and dear to me because I always had a dog. Animals give such unconditional love that it melts your heart, as does the picture you included with the poem I might add! :-) Very nicely executed! :-)

This short writing is overflowing with sweet meaning and vibrant description. The picture used is a perfect fit to the precisely chosen words it accompanies. It looks like something my little girl would do. She is always kissing cats, bunnies and dogs! God bless your day.

any girls that say
diamonds are their best friend
has not had a dog
The photo fits the piece perfectly. The syllable count is spot on. Good alliteration with has/had. Clear message that is short and simple. Congrats on your win.
