Darling Odin!
Dearest Odin, what an absolutely adorable St. Bernard/Great Pyrenees mix pup you are! Your beautiful multi-color fur looks so soft, and you have such a sweet face with those black freckles around your nose, your lovely brown eyes, and what looks like a big grin (and probably is!). Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us! It's so nice to see you and your dear kitty sister Pumpkin snuggling up together there.
You're only three and a half months old, and you're very smart! You've already learned many tricks and are working on others. You're an Army brat, and your dear Mom is so thankful to have this boy as her buddy during deployments! You're her best friend, and you're already becoming a wonderful addition to your whole family's crazy lives. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Odin, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and dear Pumpkin and Mom 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.
