Dearest Holly, what a beautiful Standard Bred Horse you are! Your glossy brown coat and black mane and tail and legs are gorgeous, and aren't you the picture of pride and contentment with all those ribbons (just a few of the many you've won) on your neck and your dear person in the saddle. Maybe you weren't fast enough to be a racehorse, but you're the perfect horse for her, and how about that for true championship! She says you will do anything she asks, and you always give 110% even if you don't want to. You were the best Christmas present ever for her! You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Holly, on being chosen today's Pet 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.

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