Dearest Ghost, also known as Ghastly Love Bites, you are such a beautiful young albino lady! You're absolutely stunning, sitting up there so proudly with that white fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with those lovely big red eyes and the cute pink nose and ears. And what a terrific story you have to tell! Your birth-mom pushed you out of the nest when you were just four days old. Her breeder-mom was unable to care for you, but fortunately and blessedly for you both, she knew just the right person to call upon! That was her breeder friend, who has brought you up with a bottle and has you sleep with the family's Chihuahua for warmth. Now, four months and 1.8 pounds later, you're still small but you're growing up nicely! You love playing with your Chi and Rottie and baby-bunny housemates. You're very caring and have a heart of gold. Your dear person is looking forward to watching you grow! You and your dear family members, all species, all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Ghost, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear persons and Chi and Rottie and baby bunny housemates 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.
