Dearest Como, what a gorgeous guy you are, indeed! You're absolutely beautiful, with that sleek, mostly-black fur with the brown touches, and that sweet face with those lovely big brown eyes gazing soulfully up at me. You have the most delightful personality, too. You're not at all the Scary Rottweiler of misguided repute; you're the Sweetie Rottweiler! You're strong but also a marshmallow. You don't bark unless you have something very, very important to say. You love your stuffed toys, and you carry them around carefully so as not to destroy them; after all, they're your babies! You and your dear person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Como, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear 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.
