Dearest Bobo, what an adorable Prairie Dog you are! And what a fantastic pet and friend to your dear Daddy you are! You are probably the friendliest pet he's ever known. You get along well with your two kitty housemates, as well as any person Daddy introduces you to. You're very outgoing, checking out visitors and getting a tummy rub, greeting Daddy with a welcome bark when he comes home, and grooming the cats when they nap on your cage. And how clever you are with your two tricks: First, you stand on your hind legs when Daddy rubs his fingers together, so he'll rub your nose; and then, once he does that, you roll backwards onto your back so he can rub your tummy! You and he love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Bobo, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear Daddy and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, perhaps another round of "let's hide in the couch and watch Daddy go crazy trying to get me out!"
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.
