Ripley's Rock

A few weeks back I ordered Ripley a memorial rock.
Ripley was my "rock", and I found it fitting for me to have a  "Ripley Rock" forever.
I left much of the layout up to the designers, as we can imagine all rocks are different.  I gave them a blank slate. "Here is what I want it to say, here is the font I want it in ... create me something special for my hunter."

They gave me a special rock, and did a great layout job.
This rock is beautiful... but as anyone that knows Ripley knows - Real Pointers have tails.  They mistakenly gave me the German Shorthaired Pointer, not the English Pointer.

I have to send it back to get him a tail - but I wanted to share it with you all.

I would highly recommend them, as this work is outstanding.  The rock is about 2 inches thick with very deep engraving. (Click on the picture to see the details)

... and somehow I feel a bit of piece.

It's beautiful. I am surprised that you left the layout up to the designers, however. You are such a creative person!
