Dearest Eobard, what a beautiful Rose Hair Tarantula you are! I don't think I've ever seen a picture of one before. You're so fuzzy! You've been with your dear family since you were very young, and they are fascinated watching you grow with every molt of your exoskeleton! You're so comfortable at home, you've spun lots of web. You get your yummy cricket and other insect meals from your pesticide-free yard. Thank you for teaching me a few things about Rose Hair Tarantulas! You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Eobard, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

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