Dearest Lucy, you are so pretty! What a beautiful Cocker lady you are, with that silky brown fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with those lovely big dark eyes. And what a delightful personality you have, too! You love to sunbathe, and you love affection. You know how pretty you are, and you want to be petted all day. You are quite the world traveler, born in Greece and now living in England. You even have your own Pet Passport! You love walking in the park so you can be admired by strangers. You've been having some hind-leg difficulties lately, but we send our best wishes that you will keep walking and being admired for a long time to come! You and your dear person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lucy, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear person 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.
