Dearest Nova, what an adorable little Guinea Pig you are! You are so pretty with that colorful soft-looking fur and the sweet face with those lovely dark eyes. And what a delightful story you have to tell! You live in a luxurious two-story home with your three girlfriends and soon-to-be boyfriend. You sit on your dear person's shoulder at the computer or on her/his chest to watch Animal Planet on TV. You get a variety of vegetables and fresh fruit each day. You and your dear person and piggie friends all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Nova, 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, maybe a special serving of romaine lettuce, peppers, fresh grass, and even a carrot!

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