The Great White Bob!
Dearest Bob, what a fantastic white Koi fish you are! You're so cute swimming at the top of your pond there, with your lovely big eyes with blue "eyeshadow" and your mouth wide open (is a treat coming your way?). What a delightful personality you have, too! You love to swim in your big pond with your 30 other fishy friends. You also love to suck on your dear people's feet, and they all love it, too! You're very friendly, and you're always the first to come see them when they visit the pond. They call you the great white Bob! You're silly and funny, and you and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Bob, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and fishy friends 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.
