Dearest Princess, what a precious lady you are indeed! You're a gorgeous Golden Retriever, so pretty relaxing there in those colorful blankets. That golden-brown fur is beautiful and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely big dark eyes gazing out at us. And what a delightful personality you have! You not only run and play like any dog, you tell your dear people in many different ways that you want to play. You love attention, and you get some by doing things like stealing slippers off someone's feet or growling at toys out of reach under the bed. You always know how your people feel, and you always brighten their days. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Princess, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people 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.
