Dearest Kyra, what a beautiful Senegal Parrot you are! All those colorful feathers are simply gorgeous, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big dark eyes and what I'm also sure is a smile! I'm so sorry you were abandoned before by someone who clearly had no idea on how to care for a parrot and no intention to learn how. But that turned out way for the best, because now you share your life with that dear friend who knows how delightful you are and treasures the friendship you share. Every time she comes into the room, you say "Hello kiki!" You dance and laugh a lot, and you'll do anything for a peanut! You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Kyra, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a few extra peanuts!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
