Terrific Ted!
Dearest Ted, what an adorable Teddy Bear Hamster you are! You're so cute in that great photo, with your furry, puffy light-brown coat, and your sweet face with the lovely dark eyes, and those cute pink paws holding something tasty to your mouth. You have the most delightful personality, too. You're full of energy and make your person smile with your antics. You have fun running and climbing around your cage and riding your wheel. You love eat yogies and riding in your person's RC Jeep. You also enjoy playing with your bunny housemate. You're very nice, and you don't bite. You and your dear person and bunny all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Ted, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and bunny 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 special serving of yogies.
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.
