Dearest Sir Twix Thornton, what an adorable young Chihuahua pup you are! You are so cute, sitting in that teacup and looking straight up at me with those lovely big eyes. And what a delightful story you have to tell! You were a holiday gift to your dear person. He/she went to purchase your half-brother but fell in love with you and brought you home instead. You and the family's three cats are adjusting to each other. Your kitty sister is even cleaning you now! And what makes this story extra-sweet is that your half-brother Tobias Dane of the Buffalo has also got a new home, with your person's niece! You two will get to visit each other as you grow up. You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Twix, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and brother 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.
