Dearest Buschel, you are adorable! What a beautiful, sweet Guinea Pig you are. You are so pretty with that soft-looking fur and the sweet face. And what a nice story you have to tell! You came to live with your dear young friend Alena when she was five years old, as a reward for her learning to swim. Now it is seven years later, and you and she have been together all this time and become the best of friends. You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Buschel, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear Alena 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.
