Pretty Pikito!
Dearest Pikito, what a beautiful Roller Canary you are! You have such a sweet face there, complete with a twinkle in your eye. And with those bright yellow feathers you are like a burst of sunshine! You are also very talented: you sing for food. You Roller Canaries are well known for your beautiful song. I wish I could hear that song! Your little sister Sassy the dog wants to play with you, but she's too big for you. How nice that you can fly around in your house, and how good that you're not allowed outside! You and your dear Mom and Sassy and all your family members love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Pikito, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and Mom and Sassy 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.
