Dearest Boris, what an adorable, precious little turtle you are! And what an amazing story of rescue you have to tell! Dad found you when you were the tiniest creature walking across the driveway, not even near water. He realized you were lost and brought you home to your new, permanent family. Now you have your own tank, complete with tree stump to climb and heat lamp to keep warm near and plenty of water to play in. You and all your family members love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Boris, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

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