Adorable Little Robert!
Dearest Robert, what an absolutely precious little fellow you are! You're a dwarf hamster, only as big as a mouse! Your white and gold fur is beautiful and looks so very soft. You have the sweetest face with those lovely big dark eyes. You sleep all day and all night, but you're awake in the mornings and evenings. You live in a cage with your little house to sleep in and your hamster wheel and wooden bridge. Your dear young friend likes your funny nose and your curiosity and is always glad to see you. You and he/she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Robert, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear young friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of hay, salad, and grain!
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.
