Adorable Infant Fritz!
Dearest Fritz, what an utterly adorable duck, or shall I say duckling, you are! You're absolutely precious with that soft coat of pale yellow down and that sweet face with the orange beak and those lovely dark eyes. You are only five days old, and already you are part of a new family and home! You love swimming around in your own little pool, and you follow your dear people around, chirping frantically if they get too far out of sight. You don't know your name or have much of a personality.. YET. You're only five days old! But you're learning about the world, you don't like to be alone, and you seem to get bigger overnight while your dear people sleep. (You probably do get bigger overnight, since you're a growing boy, just five days old today, six tomorrow!) You and all your family members love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Fritz, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you 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.
