Dearest Pepper, you are adorable! What a precious Abyssian Guinea Piggy you are, indeed. You are beautiful with your multi-colored soft-looking fur and that sweet face with lovely big dark eyes. And you have the most delightful personality, too. You are a very busy boy, running laps and redecorating your hut and relaxing with Mommy. You have a piggy girlfriend next door to your cage too! You and she can't get together because you two don't need babies. You and she and your dear humans all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Pepper, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your girlfriend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe even some special hay and carrots and lettuce!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
