Dearest Gaya, what an adorable Tsvetnaya Bolonka doggie you are! That's a new breed on me, too, and what a gorgeous and sweet introduction to it you are! You're so cute with that fluffy grey-brown fur and that sweet face with those little flap ears and lovely brown nose and big brown eyes. And you're so pretty in that Hawaiian lei!
What a delightful personality you have! You like your dear people to stroke you when you lay on the sofa. You love being outside and going for walks with them and playing with your green bone in the garden. You enjoy roasted-deer snacks. You sleep in your big box with your little crocodile. You're very affectionate and happy, and you can change anyone's bad day into a great one. You and your people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Gaya, on being chosen today's Dog 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, maybe a special serving of roasted-deer snacks!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
