Fabulous Phoenix!
Dearest Phoenix, you are absolutely stunning! What an adorable Blue-tongue Lizard you are, and what a lovely shade of blue that gorgeous tongue is! I've never met a Blue-tongue Lizard before. It's so nice to meet you! You have quite a delightful personality, too. You have a fiery temperament, and you love your personal space. You're a rescue pet, and we're so glad you were rescued and came to live with your terrific family. You like to go for walks outside, and you crawl into your dear person's lap if you're cold or feel threatened. You're okay when someone pats him from shoulder to back legs, but you hiss and threaten to bite if you're touched on other body parts. You sleep in your favorite pipe each night, sometimes poking your head out to see what's happening. You've warmed up to your Family quite well, except for the dog, whom they keep separated from you. You and all your family members (even the dog, I'm sure) love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Phoenix, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends, including the dog, are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of meal worms and pellets and then some grapes for dessert!
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.
