Dearest Athena, you are stunning indeed! What an absolutely gorgeous Chilean Red Flame Tarantula you are. Thank you for sharing those great photos! All those red bristles on your legs are gorgeous, and you're so cute in Santa's hand, giving him your Christmas wishes! That's really something, that your dear person found you at the Reptile Expo, and then three months later you laid and then hatched an egg sac containing 190 spiderlings! (I'm curious about what happened to them afterwards.) And then soon afterwards you became a media star with a Christmas article about your visit with Santa. You and your person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Athena, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and 190 spiderlings 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.
