Dearest Caoimhe, what a beautiful Irish Terrier you are! That light-brown fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those curly darker-brown ears and lovely big eyes. What a great Irish name you have, with the perfect meanings for you, "the beauty" and "the pleasant." You are both, indeed!
You have the most delightful personality, too. When your dear young friend comes home from school, you go out with her/him to play and maybe even swim. You are kept on a leash to keep you from running off to catch any rabbits you might smell. You're a kind dog and your person's very best friend. You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Caoimhe, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear friend 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.
