Dearest Maya, what a beautiful young Terrier mix lady you are, only ten months old! And what a lovely story you have to tell, of how you have helped bring healing to the heart of your dear Mom. She had been grieving the passing of her loving and beloved husband of 41 years. She saw you on the shelter's web site, and she immediately she knew you were the one and that her husband wanted you to be together. She met you, you stole her heart, and you and she went Home that day. Now you have some young grandchildren to play with (gently)! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Maya, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and grandchildren and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. We know your dear Dad Angel is rejoicing with you at the Rainbow Bridge!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
