Dearest Ivan, you are absolutely stunning! What a handsome German Shepherd you are! You were an utterly adorable puppy, and now you are a great-looking, noble grownup, there in your "special" Frisbee there! What a practical design, with the hole already in it.. I thought at first it was maybe a designer-Elizabethan-collar! I wish I could reach through the screen and pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved people will pet you for me.
You have a delightful personality, too! You are full of energy and make your dear people smile with your antics, running and playing happily with those Frisbees. You are the sweetest, kindest, most loving dog they've seen, and they cherish you. You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Ivan, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
