Dearest Miep, what a precious, beautiful Fancy Rat you are, and what an amazing, uplifting, heart-warming story you have to tell, of the healing power of love in the face of tremendous adversity! Bless you and bless your dear person for working so hard together to uncover the lovely spirit underneath all that mistrust and fear with which you had had to face the world. Step by step your person trained you to trust her/him. You dodged many bullets, and now you are "the most trainable and social rat I have ever had." You even have your own rattie friend with whom you live happily after careful introductions! You weren't bad, just misunderstood. You're the loveliest rat your person could ask for, and he/she wishes you'd live forever. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Miep, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear rattie pal and person 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.
