Dearest Spyke, you are gorgeous indeed! You're utterly adorable in all those great photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. Your coloring and design are beautiful, and what a sweet face you have, with what looks like a big smile (and probably is!). And what a delightful story you have to tell! You're actually a "rescue lizard" and a gift to your dear person from her sister, who knew your person-to-be wanted a bearded dragon. I'm so glad you were rescued and then came to this terrific home! You're your dear person's first pet, and what a fantastic introduction to the joys of sharing life with a precious member of another species you are! You're very easy to care for, and she enjoys feeding you your favorite leafy greens from her hands. She says you sometimes get so excited, you nip! But it's only a pinch, and then you let go. You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Spyke, on being chosen 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, with a special serving of tasty lettuce and crickets!
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.
