Precious Pretty Polly!
Dearest Polly, what a gorgeous Cockatiel you are, so pretty with those colorful feathers and that sweet face with the orange cheeks and lovely dark eyes. You're very special to your dear person; you're his/her first bird! You've been together since you were likely under a year old, and now you're well into your teens. You enjoy your out-of-cage time, finding new things to perch on or to test for edibility with your beak. You're a cheerful bird, making your cockatiel noises in what seems your own language. You listen to your person when he/she needs to talk, and you really seem to understand. You are beautiful and precious, his/her best friend. You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Polly, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person 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.
