Gorgeous Rocky!
Dearest Rocky, what a beautiful Peachfaced Lovebird you are! You're so pretty with those colorful feathers and that sweet face with those lovely dark eyes and that look as though you are smiling (and very likely you are!). You have the most delightful personality, too! You're very loving and playful. You love snuggles and cuddles and having your head and back kissed. How nice that you fly free most of the time and sometimes even land on heads! We thank your dear people for keeping you safe, making sure windows and doors are always shut before you get let out of your cage. You are one of your person's special boys and of course an important member of the flock. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Rocky, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and flock 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.
