Dearest Barkley, you are gorgeous! What a beautiful Shepherd/Lab cross doggie you are. Just look at that wonderful face with those lovely big brown eyes and that cute smile as you chew on your toy there. You're ten years old and have been with your dear people ever since you were eight weeks old. And what a delightful personality you have! You love rolling in snow, your very favorite thing, and singing duets with your Mom, sometimes even for guests! And before long you will have a new little skin brother or sister to love and look after! Mom is using a baby-cry tape to help you get used to the sound, since baby cries make you nervous. She has developed a terrific training method: You get to chew a rawhide bone ... yummy! while you hear the tape! You love to play with your little brother Rufus and your cousins. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Barkley, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and Dad and new little skin-sibling and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats and maybe another rawhide bone to chew!

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.
