Dearest Alexa, what a beautiful little Himalayan Guinea Pig you are! You are so pretty with that soft-looking fur and the sweet face with the lovely pink eyes. And you have the most delightful personality, too! You came to your dear young friend as her very special present for her 11th birthday, and you make her smile with your energy and antics. (Probably better not to go swimming, though.) You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Alexa, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear young friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe some special carrots and apples and cilantro!

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