Dearest Brauni, what a beautiful young Gerbil you are! You are so pretty with that soft-looking brown fur with the white triangle on your head, and your sweet face with those lovely big eyes. What a delightful personality you have, too! You are so cute on your shelf there, and you have two other gerbils as friends and playmates! You and they all like to run, sleep, eat, and play in your wheel. You are friendly but don't really like to be picked up. You and your dear gerbil and human family members all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Brauni, 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.
