Dearest Lily, you are adorable! What a sweet, precious Dwarf Hamster you are, so pretty in all those great photos that show off so many sides of your personality so well. And that first one, your personal Valentine's Day card to us, is perfect for today!
What a lovely story you have to tell! Your new Mom-to-be was sad, grieving the loss of her little mouse Eddie. She had this big aquarium with a wheel, hide-outs, dishes, and toys. She went to the pet store to get another mouse, but they didn't have any. The sales person introduced her to YOU, and how could she resist! You and she adopted each other, and home you went! You settled right in to your new digs, and now you're enjoying a delightful life full of fun and love and good food. You and Mom love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lily, on being chosen our Valentine's Day Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. I know that Eddie Angel is rejoicing with you at the Rainbow Bridge. And a happy Valentine's Day to all!

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