Dearest Ruby, you are absolutely adorable! What a precious little Miniature Dachshund you are, with that colorful fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with those cute perky ears and those lovely big dark eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us! It so nice to see your doggie pals and your never-empty food and water dishes and your guinea pig friend. And you have parakeets and maybe other critters, too, plus your most loving and beloved Mom! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
And what a wonderful story you have to tell! Dear Mom-to-be saw you at the Animal Services when she went to check on another dog. That dog needed a lot of medical attention that Mom didn't feel confident to give. Then she saw you, and you fell in love and adopted each other! Then you went Home, where you met your new brothers and sisters of several species. The food and water dishes are always full and there are many dog beds all through the house. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you all share!
And how good to learn that the first dog Mom looked at, with the medical conditions, is now with a foster family, friends of Mom's, who are experienced at giving the kind of medical care that dog needs, and the dog is responding well to the expert care!
Congratulations, darling Ruby, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and housemates of many species, and the doggie at the foster home, and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
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.
